Typographical and architectural installation at Chaumont
by For the 22nd International Poster and Graphic Design Festival of Chaumont, The Cloud Collective was invited to design a temporary installation at La Fabrique, a former textile printing factory.
The space is filled with a landscape of letters, forming the poem Oppressive light by Robert Walser (1878-1956). A path invites visitors to explore the landscape, read the poem in full, and immerse themselves in the new connotations that arise between text and form.

Surfing at Rhossili Beach in Wales
Most don’t think of Wales as a surfing destination. In fact, most people don’t think of Wales at all. But the dramatic cliffs and breathtaking scenery that surround Rhossili Beach create a ‘surf sweet spot’, making this travel destination alluring to both surfers and nature-lovers alike. Read more
Traktor: new single from Swedish folk-pop group Francis
This Swedish folk-pop group has released an EP, This Must Be Blood, featuring Traktor [above], among other gems. They’ve been on the circuit since 2006, with their live performance being described on Last.fm as ‘an unleashed Tasmanian Devil singing heartbreaking gospelsongs’. Fun.

HAVE YOUR SAY
I’m not usually into super-slick illustration, but Rory Kurtz’s stuff is really amazing. He’s able to render cinematic depth-of-field contrasts as well as exaggerated angles and foreshortening. It’s not surprising that he’s done a lot of work based on current films. Read more

Whenever I begin to take life too seriously, I head over to Indexed for a little humor treat. Never have math, formulas and graphs been so clever and witty. The creator of the site started it as a way to make fun of some things, sense of others. Somehow her little formula worked. She is now listed in TIME Magazine’s Top Blogs of 2008. And now Jessica Hagy is a published author. Enjoy exploring the inner-workings of her mind. It is simply delightful.
Strip away the cookie monster vocals and downtuned, distorted guitars, it’s hard to imagine death metal still reading as death metal, but 8-bit duo Dr. Zilog manage to do just that. The Floridian sound-card tweakers make some pretty amazing original, NES tunes that are strangely compelling, catchy, and actually quite metal.
