Google Web Lab by Bibliotheque

in , , ,

Bibliotheque created the environmental graphics and signage, working as part of the team alongside UniversalDesignStudio and MAP (the research and development design consultancy, founded by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby). The Web Lab website and identity were created by B-Reel, and the machines were built by Tellart.

Traffolyte panels introduce each of the 5 areas, and explain the science behind each experiment: Orchestra, Teleporter, Sketchbot, Data Tracer and the Lab Tag Explorer. Floor graphics aid navigation and visitor flow, helping create the feel of an experimental 'test area'. The exhibition is open at the Science Museum, London until June 2013.

Ho Ryon Lee art

in , ,

"Overlapping Images" is a series of works from Korean artist Ho Ryon Lee. "In his painting, the texture of photography has been used and reproduced –we can define such style as a photo-like picture(photorealism). In reality, the artist took several photos of the model standing in a specific pose. The photos are then composed together via Photoshop, and the finalized product is painted on canvas."

Nine Circles of Heaven by Terrible Twins

in , ,

"Lithuanian artist duo Terrible Twins (Ruta Pu & Urte Janus) use photography as their tool for creating new experiences rather than capturing a moment. The duo builds sets, designs costumes, and uses make up and styling elements in order to bring their subjects out of their actual identity and into a surreal character " writes Trendland

” Nine Circles of Heaven is an exploration of Sin as a concept perpetuated by western Catholic society and aims to question the authority of such doctrines when describing concepts like virtue and sin, good and bad," say Ruta Pu & Urte Janus

Sarah Harvey art

in ,

Award-winning figurative artist Sarah Harvey inspired by the pools in Tuscany when traveled with scholarship given by Newcastle University in 2003. Since then she concentrates on portraying human body underwater. "Entirely suspended by the water, the human forms are fragmented by the ripples and swirls created by the water, abstracting them, and often with implausible results such as the appearance of disfiguration or distortion. I have become increasingly excited about the abstract elements in these works, and the interplay between light, colour and water. The emerging patterns are becoming more apparent and dominant, drawing the eye not only towards the main focal point of the human form, but also to the surrounding areas, which are of equal significance."
