Chasing Ice

in

I think today is a perfect date to think about our small blue planet Earth. This documentary is a good case to think about it again not from a view point of a snowboarders slicing the ice, but the explorers showing how fast it disappears. Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of climate change. Using time-lapse cameras, his videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate.

Pinokio Lamp

in ,

As a child I always admired the short animation (little did I know that it was Pixar) of two lamps Mother and Son went alive. Here is a little flashback from am anamorphic project called Pinokio Lamp. The iconic Anglepoise lamp has been given a new lease of life by students at the University of Wellington. They’ve transformed the inanimate desk light into Pinokio, an object that expresses a range of movements and behaviours, and demonstrates an awareness of its environment by responding to external stimuli.

Kevin Peterson art

Captivating figurative paintings by Houston-based artist Kevin Peterson . I don't know why but some of his works remind me neoclassical masterpieces of Jacques-Louis David, maybe it is just a play of colours, light and shadows but anyway there is definitely something between Kevin's picture and the eyes "My work is about the varied journeys we take through life. It’s about growing up and living in a world that is broken. These paintings are about trauma, fear and loneliness and the strength that it takes to survive and thrive. They each contain the contrast of the untainted, young and innocent against a backdrop of a worn, ragged, and defiled world. Support versus restraint, bondage versus freedom, and tension versus slack are all themes that I often visit. My work deals with isolation, loneliness and longing teamed with a level of optimistic hope. Issues of race and the division of wealth have arisen in my recent work. This work deals with the idea of rigid boundaries, the hopeful breakdown of such restrictions, as well as questions about the forces that orchestrate our behavior."

Chanel Paris-Édimbourg Métiers d'Art 2012/13

in , ,

The über-talented art director and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld did it again. The "creative marriage" of Queen of Scots and Queen of Fashion made by Karl went awesome in his new collection for Chanel Paris-Édimbourg Métiers d'Art 2012/13. It seems there were no three centuries between Mary Stuart and Coco Chanel, hand in hand they made a cat-walk in Linlithgow Palace formal residence of Queen Mary. Watch the triumph of tartan and lace, leather and anti-stilettos..
