SAMSARA trailer

in ,

After spotting the name of director Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka) in the description of "SAMSARA" trailer , my hairs stood on end. The most awesome director in the world is back after filming for 5 years in 100 locations of 25 countries around the world. My eye's pupils got visual orgasm registering the beauty in each frame of this short trailer and I can't wait for the release and prepare yourself for an unparalleled sensory experience..

Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, Samsara transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.

Shift Save Movement

in , , ,

How to make simple hedron sexy and appeal? Here is the answer from German students Hojin Kang and Fabian Mansmann. Their diploma project "Shift - Save Movement" is kind of reflection on a metaphoric triangle: Human Nature, the Creator and Technology. The installation shows the blend of Human and Technology and digitally explores the boundaries of this collision.

Art of Nick Flatt

in , ,

Nick Flatt is a realist painter and sculptor notable for his large-format portraits. n Flatt’s words, “This show is about the things we want, and how the need to obtain these vices influence our everyday lives.” Rather than examining the influences conditioning us to lust after sex, money, and power, this exhibit considers “the carrot,” “the glossy images of desire that makes us feel like we are not quite living up to our potential,” “that make our lives feel mediocre.” These portraits, glossy and glamorized yet also uniquely raw and assertive, force us to confront the cheap objectification and manipulation we encounter from countless sources in our daily lives. Flatt explains, “By addressing the strings that pull us to these empty wants, it makes cutting them that much easier.”

I bet this is a tribute to another great artist Charmaine Olivia

Anamorphic Typography by Thomas Quinn

in , , ,

Briefly "Anamorphic Typography" is an illusion where the type in the space or any location looks just right when viewed from the exact right spot, but it looks stretched and warped on the walls when viewed from elsewhere in the room. Chicago based designer Thomas Quinn did this famous trick with elegance and good results

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."
