Sound Sculpture

This is a nice little piece by Daniel Franke called "One Minute Sound Sculpture". The idea of a sculpture made from sound is really intriguing to me and something I hope to explore in the near future. This guy's take on it is pretty cool and he's really good at tracking an animation and placing it in a live environment.

Surprisingly, NOT in Dubai

This building is NOT in The United Arab Emirates' city of Dubai as you may expect for some outlandish piece of architecture like this. It's actually in Huainan, Anhui providence, China and serves as the local urban planning exhibition hall for the developing region. This reminds me of the work of Claes Oldenburg, especially the building he and Frank Gehry collaborated on.

Advanced beauty

This is one of the best things I've seen in the past year. At first glance it just seems like some cool graphics and sound...fair enough. What's fascinating though is that every piece in this series was made using the Processing programming language. The project is curated by the design studio Universal Everything (which does some really nice stuff) and musician Freeform. This is only 2 short clips from the series. Here's an excerpt from the Advanced Beauty website:

"The films embrace unusual video making processes, the visual programming language Processing, high-end audio analysis and fluid dynamic simulations alongside intuitive responses in traditional cell animation. Each artist was given the same set of parameters to work within; to start, finish and exist within a white space, creating a seamless coherence, all sculptures sharing the same white environment."

Ball-Nogues

I really like this firms' work. Their use and understanding of materials & technology to make temporary installations that leave a long-lasting impression on patrons is very impressive. The way they transform a space with form, color and light & shadow is brilliant.

See more of their work at their site- Ball-Nogues Studio

DJs x Mozart

This is amazing! It takes the idea of the DJ being the maestro to a whole new level. I don't know why there are no turntables though.? These pictures are of the Baby Grand Master. Yes, they this company also makes a Grand Master model! This will be my upgrade from the DJ desk I'm getting from Metro Farm (view post)

Wire Frame Car

I'm attempting to go back and find some of my favorite things I've seen online over the past couple years. This isn't something I actively spend time on but some things show up again or I see something new that makes me go back and look at other work. Case in point: these sculptures by Benedict Radcliffe. His other works are nice too but he is most known for his wire framed cars. The one in the picture is called 'Modern Japanese Classic' and is now owned by collector David Roberts. There are other pictures of this piece all over the web since this would get 'parked' on the street for everybody to admire.
