Abstract Digital Art by Sam Chirnside

"Sam Chirnside (previously) is an Australian born graphic artist, working between New York City and Melbourne.Informed by the notion of altered states of consciousness, Sam’s work is an exercise in contradictions of order and incomprehension. Collage elements, oil-like pastel distortions optical illusions and esoteric iconography contrast with a balanced composition. In combination with an evident interest in ancient civilizations and sacred geometry (a discipline that popularises proof of cosmic significance, divine design intervention and above all, order) the resultant body of work is as close to a disorientation of the senses as design can achieve – and that is just how he likes it."

Mark Tansey

"Mark Tansey (Artsy) created collages serve as studies for large, monochromatic oil paintings of figures and landscapes, whose precise photographic quality is achieved by applying gesso and then washing, brushing, and scraping paint into it. He uses ultramarine blue, a color that combines the depth and complexities of black with the lightness and transparency of blue, and which imparts the historicizing feel of blueprint." via

Ball Pool and the Beach at National Museum of Washington

"Brooklyn-based experimental studio Snarkitecture is bringing the ocean indoors, transforming water and waves into nearly one million recyclable translucent plastic balls. Covering 10,000 square feet of the National Building Museum in Washington D.C., the interactive installation titled “The BEACH” will include white beach chairs and umbrellas to simulate seaside vibes, while maintaining the monochrome feel that Snarkitecture has become known for." writes Colossal. You might remember one London studio did it first but in a smaller room.

Daniel Arsham art

"New York based artist Daniel Arsham (Instagram) straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. Architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work; environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. Arsham makes architecture do things it is not supposed to do, mining everyday experience for opportunities to confuse and confound our expectations of space and form. Simple yet paradoxical gestures dominate his sculptural work: a façade that appears to billow in the wind, a figure wrapped up in the surface of a wall, a contemporary object cast in volcanic ash as if it was found on some future archeological site."

Google Rebranding

Google got a clever rebranding concept suggested by design student Dana Kim. Even it's a raw attempt to think different and most of graphics slides down a bit to the end of presentation, the main idea is very strong and plays around doubled O converted to browser input field. Wish all student rethink real cases we face on daily basis neither experiments with new forms.

Tilting the Streets of San Francisco with Karen X. Cheng

Karen Cheng speaks for herself about Tilting the Streets of San Francisco project "Ross Ching got the idea for this video after seeing some photos with the “tilted camera” effect on steep streets. Since San Francisco is so hilly, it was the perfect city for this idea. The week before we filmed this, we ran all around San Francisco looking for steepest streets we could find (and gained some killer calve muscles)." karen-cheng-sf
