Not much to say about Justin Maller’s work except, “Wow.”
Inspiring photo manipulation from Swedish photgrapher Eric Johansson.
Loving the colorful and curvaceous illustrative style of Pomme Chan; very bold and feminine. She has an impressive portfolio of fashion, commercial, editorial and typographic work. Check it out here.
Totally amazing sound sculptures by Zimoun. I want to see them in person. More info at Zimoun’s website.
Also from Australia, Pogo is a sampling genius and I’ve been hooked on his work ever since I heard his track, “Alice.” He creates amazing music by sampling famous films like ‘Hook’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Marry Poppins’, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, etc. His accompanying videos are cut from the films and are also quite impressive. This is a more recent video from one of my all-time favorite films, ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’, and I’m totally in love with it. I am in awe of his patience and skill; his is master of the mashup. And you can download his music for free! Check out his Myspace or download tracks from Last.fm.
Very inspired by the work of Oliver Vernon. It’s kind of an assault on the eyes, but in a good, visually stimulating way. I could lost in one of these for a while, there’s so much to look at.
Loving the electrosexual vibes of illustrator Augusto Giovanetti, aka Prrr. His collages create interesting juxtapositions between flesh, form, and color.
Concentricity 96 from Joshua Kirsch on Vimeo.
I like to play around with light sculpture, and have done a few light projects recently (including my Halloween costume), so Joshua Kirsch’s work is a huge inspiration. ‘Concentricity 96’ is an amazing piece that allows the user to interact and control the flow and direction of light. It’s part of a series of interactive sculpture. Says Kirsch on his portfolio site,
“Concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series. Each of the three works presents an illuminated white handle which the viewer is invited to move in any direction. Reed switches located within the sculpture’s circuitry sense the movements of a magnet contained in the handle and translate that information into LED light. Concentricity 96 employs 96 white LEDs that shine through the sculpture’s honeycomb-like aluminum frame to create shapes and patterns on the wall.”

Digital Graffiti Wall + Stencils from Alex Beim on Vimeo.
As a former Parsons student I am indefinitely predisposed to interactive graffiti projects, and this case is no different. Written in openFrameworks and using IR cams within ‘spray cans’, users can paint on the multi-touch digital graffiti wall and even use stencils. Tangible Interaction is a Vancouver-based studio that does a lot of other amazing interactive work; check out their site here.
Love love love the work of French designer/illustrator Emmanuel Polanco.
