Eno Henze - The Human Factor
Enohenze.de
Henze's work is an exciting paradox in some ways: much of it generative, or software art yet strangely organic and painterly.


Environment - Transformer Haus Rucker Co
Ortner.at
To isolate the wearer from the outside world. The helmets placed a buffer between the real world and the senses of the person inside.


Hook and Eyes by lucyandbart


Exploded View by lucyandbart
Lucyandbart.com
LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.



Mantone - Pantone Painting by The Partners
Timfraserbrown.uk
A reproduction of Édouard Manet's 'Bar at the Folies Bergere' made entirely of old Pantone chips. Over 5,000 unused chips were painstakingly colour matched and and stuck down over four long nights, and acted as centre piece for a boozey party in our design studio.


Scheisse Lamp by NorthernLighting
Northernlighting.no
The lamp pays its respect to the traditional incadescent light bulb. An experiment with light and shadows as well as positive and negative shapes.

The Other Side Written & Illustrated by Istvan Banyai
Swissmiss.com
From School Library Journal, "There's nothing mundane or predictable about Banyai's wordless picture book... [T]he illustrator takes his audience on a visual journey that begins with a nearly blank page that, when turned, reveals instructions for folding a paper airplane. On the next page, a girl in her high-rise apartment practices her cello and a paper airplane can be seen outside her window. Readers flip the page to see the girl's building from the outside looking in. Paper airplanes are everywhere, thanks to a young neighbor one floor up who has been practicing his folding skills. Each pair of pages, front and back, presents inside and outside views, and although the scenes are not obviously linked to a larger plotline, they are connected through reoccurring images, colors, and themes."

Fountain by Massimo Bartolini
Karrierebar.com
An absurd object projects from the wall in the middle of Karriere Bar. Its articulation in bent steel sheeting recalls some sort of functional installation in an industrial kitchen. In fact, the exact opposite is the case. Instead of flowing out of the tap and down into the drain, the water spurts up from the drain, striking the tap. Items don’t come much more anti-utilitarian than this.

June 2008 Week 1

The Decapitator - Subvertising
Flickr.com
An anonymous graffiti artist is modifying adverts across East London by gruesomely decapitating bodies within the ads. It is suspected the work is a statement against the sheer volume of advertisements appearing in all modern cities, and is a way of turning the mass produced commercial art of the ad world into high art. Such art has gained quite a bit in popularity in recent years, and unsurprisingly so considering that it is estimated we see anywhere from 500 to 3000 commercial messages per day.



Rome Statues Protest Against CO2
Traffickills.com
On June 5 for World Environment Day around 150 statues across Rome were wearing elasticated anti-pollution masks. The activists from environmental group Terra! said the masked statues were ''protesting together with activists'' about carbon dioxide emissions from cars and appealed to the European Commission to issue new regulations for the reduction of the greenhouse gas. Restoration experts have long been concerned about the effects of air-borne pollutants on the city's statues and monuments.

The Residents of Regent Park by Fauxreel
Theaestheticpoetic.com
According to Fauxreel, “The buildings of Regent Park are in the process of being torn down and rebuilt, so the idea is supposed to make the residents literally become part of the physical landscape, challenge some of the pre-conceived notions that other Torontoian’s have of these people and stoke the discussion surrounding the displacement of some of Regent Park’s residents as they are kicked out of their homes for this re-build…”

SCAVENGERS Mini Figure Series I by Kathie Olivas
Mindstyle.com
Inspired by early American portraiture that often depicted children as small adults in an idealized new land, the characters parallel this vision within their own sense of post-apocalyptic conformity, uniquely documenting their own stories in a mysterious brave new world.
