I LOVE UGLY's Studio
Highsnobiety Magazine visited menswear label studio I LOVE UGLY in terms of their Highsnobiety Visits. We are pretty jealous of them having the experience to meet people of the label and take awesome photos of their space. "Based in Mount Eden, New Zealand, the primarily black space has been home to ILU for three and a half years and perfectly reflects the feel and style of the brand – the black walls are also present throughout all their flagship stores. Originally the building was used as a shared creative space, housing several different artists and other creative agencies. To encourage collaboration, the workspace is fairly open in an effort to promote the sharing of ideas. However, the design and marketing departments are segregated from the rest of the business, and every month or two they switch everything around to promote fresh thinking."

Glitched Dioramas by Mathieu Schmitt
“Glitched” is a series of 3D printed dioramas in smoked glass cubes by artist Mathieu Schmitt. The artist allows for the 3D model data to become corrupt in such a way that objects are printed slightly deformed. The late-night settings and the misshapen objects create quite an eerie atmosphere.
Photo Manipulations by Joseph Alexander
LA-based photographer Joseph Alexander creates impressive images with a strong emphasis on photo manipulation and retouching. Joseph explores androgyny and intersexual themes - not only gender but also something more of an inter-species. He again uses negative space, simple composition and lots of colour. via

Miniatures by Satoshi Araki
Satoshi Araki's obsessive attention to detail makes his work simply stunning. If it wasn't for the reference of the finger that appears in some of the pictures, it would be very hard to distinguish these miniature dioramas from real pictures of garbage dumps, bombed cities, or abandoned neighbourhoods.

Inside Me by Dmitry Zakharov
Cologne-based visual artist Dmitry Zakharov released a pretty awesome animation "Inside Me".
"This project is based on a 3D-scan technique, which allows me to reproduce an image of my own body as a 3D object in a software. It is possible to view this object not just from outside, but also from the inside as a negative as well, which creates abstract shapes.
The coloration was generated with the help of colour data I took from a real picture. The film reflects the invisible inner world of an individual, which owns a small universe in itself, created by experiences and feelings - as well in the digital world as in real life. We try to express ourselves and approach our world another being, but still, nobody can see in our souls entirely.
For me, the process of scanning is a very important part of this work itself. The idea of digitising a body and hence the creation and deformation of its computer generated self, reflects the digital world we live in today. We create an alternative world, in which everybody can be what they want to be. In some way, it resembles to an act of creation. We never stop building more worlds for ourselves, even though there are already various ones encircling us, that we don't even understand yet.
Each universe encloses another, which creates a new one, and the world next to us still seems far away. And so we look into infinity again, which inevitably surrounds us."

Falling Icons by Ordinary Architecture
Unsuspecting trekkers in the Hollywood Hills encounter a huge, three dimensional letter ‘H’ along their path. A few steps later, they discover a viewfinder striped like a rockslide warning sign, through its lens it appears the 'H' is missing from the Hollywood sign. Continuing up the trail, more missing letters and viewfinders are discovered until finally there is nothing left of the sign at all…The project "Falling Icons" has been done by Ordinary Architecture
Goodwood Revival 2014
Goodwood Revival was a thriller once again this year, with highly competitive racing, grids full of important, rare and exotic racing cars, and of course a wonderful crowd of beautifully turned-out entrants, enthusiasts and fans who help turn the Motor Circuit into a little slice of petrolhead heaven for three days every year.
A Renovated Blacksmith's Warehouse
This stunning old blacksmith's warehouse has been converted with lots of light wood, bright white walls and concrete floor. It's the second home of Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen and two other Danish architects (Louis Becker and Jens Thomas Arnfred). “It’s important when you convert an old building to be careful not to remove the soul of what was there. If everything is renewed, it becomes too perfect,” Dorte says. Therefore they preserved the blacksmith equipment, like the traditional iron stove, old metal tables and the original iron windows, which are among her favorite features because they frame the seaside views throughout the home. Imperfections tell the history of this home.
