Subconscious Effect of Daylight

November 16th, 2009

“Subconscious Effect of Daylight” is a side table by Daniel Rybakken, or maybe it’s a lamp … Underneath the tabletop there’s a lamp which gives the illusion of the sun shining through a window because of the artificial shadows that are cast to the floor.

Drawing Lamp

November 12th, 2009

When it comes to product design, I’m a real fan of simple but good ideas. This table lamp called “Drawing Lamp” by Thomas Feichtner would be an excellent example.  Although I’m curious to see it lit.

Que Houxo is a Japanese artist who does live paintings. His style is quite colorful, he uses fluorescent paints with black lights. These photos are from The Paint Players event and were made by Evan Roth. The video below is from another event, but it shows what you can espect when you go to one of his live sessions. I would definitely go if I had the chance.

Cercle et suite d’éclats

October 27th, 2009

Last summer, Felice Varini did this installation called “Cercle et suite d’éclats” in Vercorin, Switzerland. The scale of this point of view artwork is very impressive.

Illuminated Tires

October 23rd, 2009

These illuminated tires were developed by Goodyear in 1961. They’re made from a single piece of synthetic rubber and are brightly lit by bulbs mounted inside the wheel rim. The Goodyear Tire Company intend to produce the tyres in a variety of colours. So they came up with this so that women could adjust their stockings at night?
Anyway, I guess something like this would be any car-tuners dream. According to LIFE magazine this is one of the 30 dumbest inventions. The Cigarette Pack Holder must be the dumbest ever, right before the Venetian Blind Sunglasses, yeah Kanye, really.

Video Painting

October 22nd, 2009

Yes, we’ve seen enough graffiti-light-painting movies and pictures. But this little concept by Sweat Shoppe is quite nice. They developed a technique to project video footage on a canvas, vitually painted by a LED-lit paint roller.
What? Just watch the video.
