Be Your Own Souvenir

September 27, 2011 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Design, Motioncollector

To take part in ‘Be Your Own Souvenir’, participants are asked to stand on a small podium and strike a pose for a few minutes while a three-dimensional model of their body is scanned by three Kinects (hacked Xbox 360 interfaces with 3D depth sensors). The data is then passed to a 3D printer, and rendered in low-res plastic from the feet up – all within fifteen minutes. via Eye Mag

Ora Ito's concept for Wallpaper and Reebok

August 19, 2011 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Design, France, United Kingdom

Ora Ito's concept for Wallpaper and Reebok with LG HI-MACS®

http://www.ora-ito.com/news/ora-itos-concept-for-wallpaper-and-reebok-with-lg-hi-macs

Never mind the upper of Reebok’s RealFlex shoe for Ora-ïto, the interest lies all in the sole. The sole is the most beautiful part of a trainer, says Ora-ïto. It’s there that the sense of movement and the graphic power is found. It’s like a landscape. It is exactly that idea that Ora-ïto has realised in the form of a pop art-inspired bas-relief work, a sculpture painting that echoes the 76 independent sensors on the sole of the RealFlex in mid-twist and undulation. The piece, which is produced by Candido Hermida, is made of Hi-Macs®, a cuttable, thermo-formable, stone-like bauxite/acrylic mix, chosen for its ability to offer one unbroken, seamless sheet for the 3m-wide work, and with the strength to take the considerable weight. My style of dress is more classic now but I still have my trainer collection and I’d love to do the sole of all the iconic sneaker soles this way,’ says Ora-ïto.

Shea Hembrey SEEK Biennial

August 05, 2011 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Motioncollector

I think this guy deserves whatever appreciation he wishes. "Shea Hembrey wanted to stage an international art show so he invented 100 artists and made all of their work too" (via b7om). You must watch his speech at TED Conference that suddenly revealed a nonsense of contemporary art :)

TOSAY.IT

August 04, 2011 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Design, Graphic Design, Photography, Russia, Street Art, Typography

TOSAY.IT is a continuation and a large update of our past projects with public text posters once created by Dopludo Collective from StPete, Russia. The main idea of the project is to explore text, streets & internet as an artistic medium, to broadcast actual ideas that are usually ignored by mass media, or to comment on the issues that seem important to put up by the author of the text. In november 2010 TOSAY.IT was exposed in Moscow's activistic art gallery at Vinzavod. In upcoming August it is going to be represented in public space in the center of Amsterdam.
