Pornamental

Pornamental

Digital art from pornography. Volumetric shapes generated from xxx rated images are represented in the form of physical objects.

Love the originality and execution of this idea - wish I'd thought of that...

Ron Arad

Ron Arad

Ron Arad: Restless explores three decades of Arad’s work from his early post-punk approach to his highly polished sculptural furnishings, via his architectural designs and mass produced pieces. The show also features a dramatic installation made from cutting edge LED technology which really needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.

I consider this show a real 'must see', I was slightly dubious about whether it would impress but had no need to worry. The work is diverse and truly stunning and the wealth of support information and the planning of the exhibition is exemplary.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Barbican Art Centre for inviting me :)

Hana Screensaver



Hana screensaver now available for OSX intel.

Hana is a dream about flowers for computers. The idea is that no aspect of creating the flowers is hidden from the computers, everything is created in code and no bitmaps are used that the computer has not seen to the creation of itself, letting the computer "think" through every step.

I've known Andreas for some time now and his work never fails to blow my sock off!

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.
