Talking to the Folks at UVA

Who make beautiful installations such as "Volume." Most of their work changes and reflects the movements of people within a physical space. PingMag has a wonderful interview with the folks from UVA.

I also happen to love the glow of LEDs.

Jonathan Harris Video

He talks about his new project, Universe.

I liked We Feel Fine better. Less heady.

historic remembrance

i spotted melanie bilenker's jewelry awhile back. i remember sitting in borders (or barnes & noble) with my huge stack of magazines and letting out a little "oohhh" when i saw her work. beautiful pieces created with hair. i love the simplicity and the detail.

a little aside: i used to have a somewhat overwhelming (some would say obsessive) magazine collection. i no longer keep all the old magazines and i'm letting most of my subscriptions lapse. however, i have a large archive of old clippings that i use for projects and art. this is the first time that my print collection and online collection have overlapped.

Reminds Me of Le Petit Prince

I loved the illustrations from those books (in English, French & Spanish). These panoramic pics are amazing. Great work gadl.

Robt Would LOVE This.

The Exploratorium makes a beautiful kinetic sculpture. Watch the video.

Psyop is cool!

Psyop is right around the corner from my current apartment (moving in one week though). Their work is great. This interview is great.

Favorite quote: "Magic happens daily! Around 3pm we feed our unicorns."

Color, Space & Physicality

Rodney LaTourelle's installation at PROGRAM reacts to installation visitors. Working through the labyrinth of colors and optical illusions, people can stop and rest in little rooms, bathed in the different colors. (Which correspond to the different chakras, cool!)

the art of procraftination

ann wood has carved out a home in the procraftination world with her beautiful creatures and ships. i especially like her horses.

Public Media Art

I'll be seeing Doug Aitken's piece next week. So I guess I'll have to put Mary Ellen Carroll's indestructable language on my list too. Looking forward to both.

animal magic exhibit

what wouldn't i like about this exhibit?

daruma craze

i'm a little obsessed with daruma after visiting the bar/restaurant bozu in williamsburg. the japanese token has unpainted eyes. you may make a wish while painting in one eye. when the wish comes true, paint in the other eye.

many of my friends and family got their own daruma for christmas. and now i stumble across the artist scott rench and his daruma art.

Volume at V&A

I would really like to see the Volume installation at the V&A. I recently saw Electroland's interactive light "sculpture" at the Cooper Hewitt and loved playing with it.

Pompidou's Tuned Stairs

Fabrica's Tuned Stairs interactive was up in Centre Pompidou last year. I love that museum.

sketchy sketching

how to draw little people if you're an architect or an interaction designer. or you can draw stick figures like me.

bodydataspace gives media & interactive artists venues to exhibit their pieces. amazing stuff. lots of projection work.

i believe in music. amen brother!

for those who want free (cool) wallpaper for their mobile phones. imaginary foundation also sells t-shirts.

joseph cornell exhibit

luckily my sister lives in dc. i will make it down to see this at SAAM. and i really want to see the design work done at academy studios when i arrived last year.

and for the cornell fanatic, you can buy them this.

joshua davis at commonwealth

i'm looking forward to seeing joshua davis at commonwealth in williamsburg. winter 07 can't come soon enough.
