320° LICHT

in , , , ,

The "320° Licht" installation of URBANSCREEN uses the cathedral-like beauty of the Gasometer as the starting point for a fascinating game with shapes and light.Within a radius of 320 degrees graphic patterns grow and change on the 100-metre high inside wall of the Gasometer.

“This experience is based on the vastness of the Gasometer,” sound designer Jonas Wiese told the Creator’s Project. “We tried to work with that expression to make the space bigger and smaller, to deform it and to change its surface over and over while not exaggerating and overwriting the original effect of the room.” He continues, “the age of the screen is coming to an end, digital interfaces will dissolve and merge into the social space [...] we poetically contribute to this through art.”

VAL

in ,

From February 15, 2013 to February 15 of this year, designer Simon Graham documented his life—first-person style—with his phone. Val, the name of Graham's resulting documentary, comes from both the artist’s mother’s and son’s full names. It serves as a commemoration to both Valerie Sheppard and Leonard Valentino Graham, who passed away and were born, respectively, in Graham’s single year of documentation. In Graham’s own words, he felt the name “truly represents this crazy circle of life” we live in.

Being a fan of documenting every day a second I am completely interested in the way Graham did his video. All the photos are hand stabilised and taken as a batch using iPhone.

Wes Anderson Centred

in , ,

I have not watched much of Wes Anderson films, but in Grand Hotel Budapest I was really impressed by the quality of each frame, colour and the amazing transitions he uses. Few days later I found a video that explained much of Wes' perfectionism - UK based director Kogonada did a nice research for Anderson's love to symmetry and centred composition.

P.s. One can point that Wes was inspired by Stanley Kubrick way of building a frame, so mister Kogonada has also explained master's obsession in a centred composition a year ago here
