The Speed of Light by UVA

Never a single name said more of its owner than UVA. United Visual Artists, founded by Chris Bird, Matt Clark and Ash Nehru in 2003, are a design and architecture collective based in London, specialized in architectural and responsive installations, live performance and public art. Their strong point is their work with light and space that is truly original and deeply emotive. It is not a matter of chance that their trajectory is more than impressive since they have made tour visuals for Massive Attack, U2, UNKLE and The Chemical Brothers, installations for the Victoria & Albert Museum and fashion show light visuals for Y-3 and Vivienne Westwood.

PixCell-Elk#2 by Kohei Nawa

“By covering surface of an object with transparent glass beads, the existence of the object itself is replaced by “a husk of light”, and the new vision “the cell of an image” (PixCell) is shown. Most of the motifs, like stuffed animals are found through the internet. I search some auction sites and choose from the images which appear on a monitor as pixel. However, the stuffed animals which actually have been purchased and sent have real flesh feel and smell, and have a discrepancy with images on the monitor. I then transpose them to PixCell in turn.” - Kohei Nawa

skateboard art

haroshi:

Japanese wood sculptor haroshi specializes in creating three-dimensional art pieces
from used and broken skateboard decks.

Although haroshi uses one type of material for his art, skate decks vary widely in size and structure depending on the factory, brand and model. in creating his sculptures, he filters through thousands of old decks and individually picks out the perfect board to use. After they are stacked, cut and shaved to form, they are painted and polished to a candy-like finish.

Not available to the outside observer is another one of haroshi's artistic details. during construction, each sculpture is given a "soul", a broken metal skateboard piece that is laid in the core of the piece. Unkei, a 12th century japanese buddha sculptor,
had a similar practice of including a crystal ball in his statues as the "soul" of the buddha.



















I am so blown away. I like the colours combination. Whooo!

DMY 2010 award winner: foruse/numen

In their series of site specific tape installations, croation design collective foruse/numen showcased their latest creation at DMY international design festival berlin 2010. although their tape installations are often conceived as a kind of parasitic object installed into locations such as old attics, columns of a historical building, or an industrial concrete structure, this
time a custom scaffolding construction had to be made due to location change by DMY. The result, according to the foruse/numen, translated into a structure reminiscent of a UFO. The installation was executed within four days (approximately 160 working hours) utilizing almost 700 conventional transparent tapes (45 km of tape).

The video caught my attention. Boy the building of this structure is crazy! But worth the work! Ahhh. I wonder if it's jumpy-ish!
