Simone Giertz: Developer Simone Giertz, the hilarious creator of robotic devices that help make daily life easier, stars in an infomercial parody selling her adjustable ‘Applause Machine’. Because clapping your hands can kill you. Our Product OTD – gold! 🙂
Ori Toor: We love the work of artist and graphic designer Ori Toor who is having fun with his project Looopism – creating abstract animated GIFs, which are full of colour and somewhat mesmerising, mixing organic and geometric shapes into beautiful infinite loops.
Loving Vincent: We love this first trailer for the upcoming Loving Vincent, an impressive short film in tribute to Vincent van Gogh, which was made with twelve oil paintings per second and achieved by over one hundred painters. Conceived by Polish directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, every painter had to follow three week’s intensive training to learn the style of the famous painter and master various stop motion software. Production of the film continues until late August 2016.
James Rawson: We love the paintings of British artist James Rawson, defined as a postmodern pop artist, who blends painting and collage to create explosive and colourful compositions filled with references to movies, brands, comics, and other iconic pop cultural products and objects. While his work reflects on popular culture of the last 50 years, James Rawson also depicts associated social problems such as over-consumption, poverty, junk food, and the omnipresence of advertising. We’d kill for one of his pieces on our wall – awesome work! 🙂
Poster Art: Just stumbled across this little gem – a video charting the progression of some Academy Award-winning Best Picture poster art, from the early 20th century to present. Very cool 🙂
Yuichi Ikehata: An impressive body of work situated between illusion and reality, Fragment of Long Term Memory is a fascinating series by Japanese artist Yuichi Ikehata, who blends sculpture, photography, wire, ceramic, and paper to create surreal images representing incomplete and blurred memories of her own body.
