"TJOKEEFE kills it with graphic, angular furniture and objects and the latest release, UV, is a bold triangular light sculpture that hangs on a flat surface or in a corner. A flexible, woven nylon thread is what creates the triangular composition when it’s suspended on the wall. With the ultraviolet LEDs embedded in the powder-coated aluminium bar, the thread becomes its own light source as the ultraviolet light projects onto it, creating the ethereal red and purple, triangular glow."

"So much Ophelias and no one to save them", this what you may think looking at Mira's ongoing photography series "Underwater".
“My photographs are not exactly a photographs, my creations are somewhere in between paintings and photography. In my images I use pain as a beauty, erotic as a psychological way of life. I express myself and my intimate inner life. Indeed, the majority of my works are in the water, this of course is not accidental. From many points of view, for me the water is very suitable means to express what I carry in me and recreate my ideas.. It’s really inspiring to me the water is my creation. The creation the life, the power...the water is filled with tremendous energy. It is the winner of pleasure and delight it gives life, but also poses a risk, threat, it can destroy us. I love the transparency and purity of water light and reflecting and transformations that is suffered in contact with another medium.
For me the water is highly erotic element precisely because of the opposites that brings. Water is the one who quenches our thirst and saves us. Lust for life of each of us, the thirst for love and the eternal struggle and attempt to erase, to dull to heal the pain, sadness, loneliness...”
This year's theme of Melbourne-based Pause festival is "Different Perspective" starting in February. For massive opening titles (for somehow revealed before the start) they invited Chinese CG artist Zaoeyo
“The whole idea was inspired by an anime called “Digimon Adventure”, whose opening scenes show the different angle of a night city and digital creatures.Therefore, we decide to focus on a different angle or perspective of empty cities, to express a feeling of isolation, despite the fact we live in these spaces. The idea of using a cat for guidance is borrowed from an indie game called “HK”, which will enhance the feeling of isolation between human and their environment. Also this is all CGi made in Cinema 4D with Octane Render.”

“I can guess what you’re thinking, because I have watched a lot of design documentaries. Restrained, polished, pretty—so many of them look like a moving version of a coffee table book. You’ve got softly lit interviews, esoteric conversations, and subtle tracking shots of wide landscapes beneath unobtrusive music. Most of it is clean, minimal, and boring as hell. We’re not doing that. My partners and fellow executive producers—Morgan Neville (who won an Oscar for 20 Feet From Stardom) and RadicalMedia’s Dave O’Connor—and I built a team of today’s best-known documentarians. Every episode stands as its own film, adapting the design sensibilities of our subjects.”
P.s If you are totally in it than you have all chances to meet design gurus in life on festivals like OFFF Barcelona, FITC, Toca Me... Hurry up, tic-toc

Leading light installation artist Jason Bruges was approached by Arts Council England, to make a piece for Illuminating York event went in 2016. The Festival encourages visitors to explore and discover the city through the imagination of artists, using the medium of light in all its forms.
Light Masonry is an epic, site specific, light installation based in the main nave of York Minster. The artwork is founded on the construct of creating a secondary layer of dynamic, temporal and ephemeral architecture sculptured from light. Inspired by the continuous crafting and iterating of the layers of work by the Minster’s stonemasons, the studio has investigated the relationship between the vaults, light and the audience. Drawing upon the ceremonial nature of the space, the studio has created a synchronized procession of light that highlights and explores the nave as a choreographed architectural experience. The art installation inscribes the perimeter of the main nave and is constructed from a bespoke system of 48 computer controlled Icon Beam moving head luminaires, animating a dynamic light architecture around the atmospheric volumes of the nave. The piece is immersive and complimented by the soundscape of Intervallo by Arvo Pärt, performed by John Bradbury and Benjamin Morris the Minsters organists.
