Oscar Lhermitte

March 30th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
Oscar Lhermitte is studying product design at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. One of his main interests is the relation people have with objects, and the different reasons they prefer one object to another. In most of his projects, he tries to create a unique relation between the user and the product, by giving it a “hand-made” touch or by involving the user in the design process. Resolving issues with simple eco-friendly solutions is also one of his aims. He thinks it is a designer’s responsibility to observe every single aspect of daily life, and to constantly question...

Ceiling cat for everyone!

March 13th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
The sun is shining (probably.. somewhere behind all those clouds) and the birds are singing, it's almost Spring! So I decided to have a bit of a spring clean of my emails, nothing to do with the server struggling with a years worth of undeleted email honest! I came across something I thought I'd shared with you at the time, but apparently I was reckless and selfish and didn't share. I'm sorry, it's a vice I have. Along with a love of biscuits and shoes. Anyway, what I wanted to share was from a lovely blog 'of happy art' called Tubbypaws which...

Augmented Sculpture

March 3rd, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
Pablo Valbuena is a Spanish artist who has been working with augmented reality since 2007, altering our perception of real-world space through his light animations. About his Augmented Sculpture project, the artist says: This project is focused on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. For this purpose two layers are produced that explore different aspects of the space-time reality. On the one hand the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as support for the next level. The second level is a virtual projected layer...

Every Sound You Can Imagine

February 25th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
I was just catching up on the excellent electronic music blog, 'Disquiet', and read news of an interesting exhibition at New Langton Arts in San Francisco, (which discounts my attendance, I'm sorry to say). The exhibtion is called Every Sound You Can Imagine and explores the cross-fertilization between musicians and visual artists, revealing the vital interaction of experimental music with cutting-edge visual art. Langton presents rare and never-before-heard tapes from its archive by musicians, performers, poets, and visual artists who have performed at Langton since its founding in 1974, including Alvin Curran, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Wadada Leo Smith. Sgt....

Space Colony Art from the 1970s

February 14th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
A couple of space colony summer studies were conducted at NASA Ames in the 1970s. Colonies housing about 10,000 people were designed. A number of artistic renderings of the concepts were made and you can see them on the official NASA site Extraordinary to think these were the real deal, rather than flights of sci-fi fancy. See the full gallery...

Found online

January 27th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
No, nothing to do with FFFFound, although that's always worth a visit too, just a couple of interesting things I've come across on my travels through the internet today, firstly an inspired bit of advertising gadgetry from marker pen brand Sharpie: The creative minds working for Sharpie, the ultimate in permanent markers, have discovered a way to satiate our desires to deface public domain.  Interactive e-cast billboards have been scattered around cities, which allow people to experience the rush of creating their own graffiti. Find out more at Cool Hunter. And, (unfortunately I have no idea who, why or when) these plasticine creatures...
