What a journey!

Monday, September 26th, 2011

I’m back from three weeks in Kenya and I still don’t quite believe I was there. Each and every day was an adventure from a late night visit to our Safari camp by a herd of Elephants to playing statues with local school kids, Kenya is everything I ever dreamed of and more. You’ll have to forgive me though as I need to sort through over 3000 photos before posting them here. In the mean time I’ll leave you with the eldest of the lion cubs we tracked in the Masai Mara as he patiently waits for supper.

Kowloon walled city

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Grand panorama of the Kowloon walled city. Amazing level of detail and complexity so I recomend seeing the full image as this is only a tiny part! The actual city was demolished only recently in 1994.

Design agency ‘Information Architects‘ has created an image of the top 300 most popular sites and domain using Tokyo’s Metro map as a basis. You’ll need to make this image bigger with a click to see it in all it’s glory.

Stop advertising using Augmented Reality?

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Public Ad Campaign, an organization that is opposed to outdoor advertising, has created an augmented reality mobile app that replaces the billboards in Time Square with artwork (see the app in action at a recent public beta test). Public Ad Campaign and collaborator The Heavy Projects hope to expand the app in order to takeover billboards in other public spaces.

Advert trickery

This is a great idea but the irony is advertisers will use the same technology to surround us all with bepsoke adverts!

An amazing piece of work from Matt Abbiss. Enjoy!



From my understanding this piece of work was created using Flash CS5 and billions of layers – boggles my tiny little brain, love it! You can visit Matt’s site to see more of his work.

Loom – short film Polynoid

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Loom tells the story of a successful catch.

A moth being caught in a spiders web. Struggling for an escape, the moths panic movements only result in less chance of survival. What follows is the type of causality everyones expecting. The spider appears, claims its prey and feeds on it. The way nature works. But it’s the point of view that creates an intense relationship between the hunter and its victim. There is much more to explore, much more to feel if one takes the time to really experience the content of a split second.

My wife is a Goddess

Selina Wagner has transcended to Goddess with this tune, which took her two attempts to play having only ever heard me ‘sing’ it. I love her more than Transformers

 

The Robot, A Sculptural Photo Book by Thomas Jackson

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

“The Robot” by writer photographer Thomas Jackson is a fanastic fusion of photography, sheet metal, salvaged wood, electronics and three years of work.

When I began this project three years ago, I didn’t know I was making a book. The plan was to create a series of staged photographs addressing a set of themes that interested me, among them our culture’s obsession with hard work and our less-than-harmonious relationship with the natural world. Composed in narrative form, in the manner of a medieval tapestry or altarpiece, the pictures would tell the story of a solitary robot’s last days in a post-apocalyptic place. But when I completed the images in late 2010, the project felt unfinished. The story seemed to need one last narrative twist. The answer, I came to realize, was a book.
