Instaglasses

in , , , , ,

After Instagram Camera concept that we actually did not like for it's form lose function here goes a smart concept of Instagram Glasses from Markus Gerke.Instaglasses is a smart way to live "la vie en rose" or just "en Instagram". You activate the glasses by pushing “Insta” and option to choose between different filters. Then take a picture with your glasses and upload the image straight to Instagram. Voila!

Also worth to mention a concept made by Mauricio Thomsen for Ray-Ban Instagram (Ray-Ban has so many concepts floating around and still doing glasswork as it is still the 90ss of 20 century, shame on them).

LiquiData Multitouch

in , , ,

LiquiData is a multitouch application to explore your personal movement profile and to show other people engaging places by adding photos and comments with the help of your smartphone. It can be seen as a rating system that offers people the possibility to discover new spots in an unknown surrounding e.g. during a city-visit. Although a smartphone is not necessary to interact with the system, it offers you the possibility to give insights to your movements through the city and lets you compare your mental map with the reality. For instance, this system could give guests of a hotel (lobby) the option to share their walked trails and show other visitors their favorite coffee shops or parks.

Levent Aydin for The Tattooed Poster

in , , ,

Some of you might have seen the collaboration work "The Tattooed Poster" of Mathias Nösel, Steffen Baumgartl, Alexander Nagel, Levent Aydin for Munich based The Chaos Crew tattoo studio. We got a chance to speak with illustrator Levent Aydin whose artworks and sketches were among all other tattooed on a real skin poster.

DC: What is the idea behind The Tattooed Poster and how you get involved?

Levent: The Idea was to assemble important events of 2011 into one oversize tattoo to show the skills of the bavarian tattoo artists of Chaos Crew Studio. The special was that the project was tattooed on real calfskin to achieve the highest grade of realism and authenticity. Mathias Nösel, the Junior Art Director of Serviceplan saw some of my works on behance and asked me to illustrate for their new project.

DC: What was the biggest challenge in your part of work? Levent: I think my biggest challenge in my part of work was to illustrate the motives that I had to do in a way that everybody can recognize it in just a few seconds. Therefore I chose typical attributes of the particular motives like peter falk as columbo with his typical musing pose.

DC: How long did it take you and the whole team to complete it? Levent: The whole project began in december and ended in may. I had about 8 days to illustrate all the motives that I had to do. I enjoyed to work for such an outstanding project and I am looking forward to hopefully start the next one soon.

She moved back to New York to be a visual artist, receiving her MFA in illustration as visual essay from the School of Visual Arts. You's work is a ritual that recollects and records her memories and emotions; she places her characters in lush environments that hopefully spread joy through the world.

Emergence by Susi Sie

in , , ,

Cologne based visual artist Susi Sie released her latest motion film "Emergence" and we had a chance to speak with her about it

DC: What is the main plot and idea of "Emergence"?

Susie: Primarily this film (like my other films "BLACK" and "FLOAT") started as an experiment with liquids. At the beginning I had totally no idea which images I would get and which story I wanted to tell, so everything developed time after time. I like the conclusion of less being more, so I´m always looking for a way to tell stories in an abstract way, giving the observer the opportunity to interpret my films in his own way.

DC: What was the hardest challenge in the project you get through?

Susie: I think the hardest challenge in this project was to keep my motivation on a high level, even after months of failing and testing and filming and editing everything again and again until I was satisfied with the final result. Sometimes I forget, that making art, which I regard as my passion, is attached with a lot of really, really hard work. Good work takes time to develop, and interestingly, the final result is always something which you couldn´t have imaged at the beginning.

DC: How long did it take you to complete the video?

It took me about 9 months to complete this film... In the first steps, I made a lot of experiments with the black fluid, mixed with water and soap and tested many lenses to find out the best way to film the fluid. It also took me a while to develop a story behind these images. I think it´s important not to totally focus on a certain idea, to give the project the opportunity to develop itself in unexpected directions.
