Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
Architecture that makes me go mmmmm wow – pass me my martini. I have always admired a residence that is well placed on a hillside or slope. The is an extraordinary example by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, an architecture and design studio based in Valencia, Spain. Uber minimal, yet the warm finishes help to give a […]
Simon David Ryden
I recently stumbled across this beautiful generative sketchbook by Simon David Ryden. Simon uses open GL fragment shaders to create whimsical and quite beautiful on screen graphics that are rendered to the screen in real time. Some screen grabs below of some of my favourites. But go and take a look at his great website […]
Nullschool Earth
Nullschool Earth is a website created by Cameron Beccario (thanks!) that provides a visualisation of global weather conditions that are forecast by supercomputers and updated as often as possible, which is dependant on the many varied data sources. Feels like a great example of co-operation, so many different data sources coming together to paint this […]
Floam World
Floam World is the joyous playground of artist & creative director Leilanni Todd. Much humour and commentary on possible futures can be found in her very colour, saturated, playful, surreal and often absurd stories and experiments. Still curious about AI art and it’s impact and longevity, but Leilanni is clearly using as a tool to […]
Voce
Voce by architect Luca Cipelletti was recently a part of the Triennale Milano and it holds great appeal. An acoustic church. Modular furniture by Philippe Malouin makes for easy work on reconfiguring the room if required, and also acts as dampening or reflecting depending on your desired sound, crowd or vibe. Love me a sound […]
Hometown Moon
Located in mountainous Tai’an City, Shandong Province, China, the Hometown Moon building by Syn Architects is just breathtaking. Commissioned as a tourist magnet, I myself would just love to visit, I feel the attraction. An artificial moon that never sets below the 0.5 metre pool that surrounds. Underneath, a void that looks to induce feelings […]
Tall Tales
A one night only, debut collaborative visual and audio cinematic experience a decade in the making. Last week I was fortunate enough to view the spectacular Tall Tales visual album / art film at ACMI in Melbourne. What an absolute treat, the sound was turned up, and the incredible experience was followed with a Q&A […]
JLW Studio
I recently discovered the work of Joshua Webb of JLW Studio in Western Australia. Using light, concrete and 3D printing to explore shape and meaning, and revealing beautiful forms along the way. Great to see artists embracing new methods and technology like this, 3D printing especially which removes limitations and opens new potentials. I especially […]
ZZZN Sleep Apparel System
Everyone needs more sleep. The Japanese have come up with a proposed solution to grab those extra zzz’s anywhere anytime. Whilst it may look more like something from the high end fashion world or perhaps not out of place in a quirky independent black comedy film, the ZZZN Sleep Apparel System aims to allow you […]
Gradientor
Gradientor by Rodolfo Fanti is not just a great little tool, but an excellent example of a very simple and friendly user experience – which results in being a joy to use. Who doesn’t love a gradient. Change your browser window to suit, return to change colour, mouse position determines gradient position, scroll to change […]
