The Chandelier Tree in LA

"Several years ago Los Angeles-based airbrush make-up artist, photographer and designer Adam Tenenbaum was bequeathed several large vintage chandeliers that he thought might look good in his home, but to his dismay they were a bit too large. Then an idea struck him: why not hang a few in the giant tree in his front yard. The Chandelier Tree was born. Filmmaker Colin Kennedy passed the tree almost daily for nearly six years and finally decided to sit down the Tenenbaum to shoot this short documentary about this strange and beautiful tree." - Colossal

40 Days of Dating

I really enjoyed the speech of famous designer Jessica Walsh (a significant part of Sagmeister&Walsh) during my OFFF visit . She was talking about numerous project and mentioned one that was secret at that moment - "40 Days of Dating". Two good friends (Jessica and Tim Goodman) with opposite relationship problems found themselves single at the same time. As an experiment, they dated for 40 days. Beside the psychological and other logical and not so logical parts of the recently started project the interesting part of it that each day was decorated with illustrations from other famous artist worth to see and explore during next month on fortydaysofdating.com

Melting portraits by Ben DeHaan

Ben DeHaan‘s “Uncured” series captures the decay of a printed photograph as a result of the removal of the UV light used to instantly dry the ink on the page and cure the image. These portraits appear as if they are melting and evoke a surreal aesthetic, creating a completely unique visual experience that questions the idea of simple replication

“Uncured” explores the expectations of photographic image in a digitally ubiquitous era. A digital photograph is simply ink sprayed on substrates to create an exact replication of a digital file. I’m interested in breaking down the image to its inherent properties to reflect on photography’s role in constructing its significance.

Vault49

I was happy enough to listen guys from Vault49 on scene at OFFF earlier last month and this was really inspiring to see them doing many of "3D" or "digital" things by hands and with low-fi paper models. Less 3D more hands - that's what we get from Vault49, London born studio moved to New York for new opportunities.
