Le Skate Moderne

in ,

"Le skate moderne is a french documentary about a couple of young skaters that are not your typical archetype of riders. These young folks started to skate to avoid their traced destiny when the quit school. Son of farmers, they discovered the art of riding in deserted areas, between cows and goats and with nothing but hay to wax their boards. The 6 minutes short film was directed by Antoine Bess for KloudBox and sponsored by Magenta Skateboards." via

Métropolisson by Janol Apin

in , ,

Janol Apin’s “Métropolisson” is a creative project that illustrates the literal translations of the names of various Parisian Metro station stops. The collection of photographs features more than 100 images of Apin’s friends posing in the underground subway stops; from an astronaut in the Champ de Mars station, to a couple dancing tango under the Argentine stop, he leaves nothing out.

Skull Armchair

in , ,

Skull Armchair is an ominously powerful looking piece of furniture by French designer Harold Sangouard, aka Harow, that seems fit for anyone interested in comfort as they plot sinister moves. It definitely reminds me the work of another designer Maximo Riera with his series of "The Animal Chair"

An Instagram Short Film

in , , , ,

Some of you might remember the first ever video created with Instagram "The Plastics Revolution – Invasión" and some of you who are curious enough to follow TED speeches might remember Blaise Aguera y Arcas speaking about Photosynth - a photo-visualiser using a crowd-sourcing photography from sources like Flickr. Here is a merge of both ideas. As Instagram has its own engine to give access to photos so French director Thomas Jullien made each image a little less ordinary, by weaving hundreds of these similar images together to create a stop-motion video. Jullien aimed to “create structure out of chaos”, and he does so beautifully with 852 different pictures from 852 Instagram users.

Loop Portraits by Romain Laurent

in , , ,

“The idea behind One Loop Portrait a Week was to re-capture some sort of creative rhythm or spontaneity I felt I lost. Every week I shoot a new portrait with no pressure or overall idea, just what comes into my mind.” Brilliant works!
