Daniel Franke has created an amazing new kind of art. He calls it a sound sculpture. It is based on the recorded motion data of a dancer shot with three depth cameras, a complex procedure that resulted in a beautifully moving digital body, consisting of 22,000 points. The closer we look, the more abstract the sculpture becomes.

Who is this girl and why haven’t I heard of her before? These were my exact thoughts when I saw this video popping up on one of my friend’s pages the other day. Apparently Fighting Kind is the first single from Melbourne musician, Ainslie Wills. Her forthcoming album is titled You Go Your Way, I’ll Go Mine, and if it keeps what the first outtake is promising, then I’ll have to own a copy. The video for Fighting Kind was directed by Jem Selig, who shot it over two days in a small darkroom.

Oh my god, Red Hong has done it again! This time, the immensely creative girl has come up with a portrait that is entirely created from socks. It looks a bit like she wanted to make sure that she never has to look for the other missing sock any more in her life. I like that idea as my socks seem to have a life of their own. I think I’ll be inspired from her example.

Lisa Nilsson is an artist from Massachusetts who seems to have an obsession with anatomy charts. At least, that’s what it looks like judging from her recent tissue series. The artwork is made of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books. They are constructed by a technique of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper, called quilling or paper filigree. Quilling was first practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks and later overtaken by 18th century ladies to spend their time creatively. Lisa Nilsson says: ‘I find quilling exquisitely satisfying for rendering the densely squished and lovely internal landscape of the human body in cross section.’

London is one of my favorite cities in the world, albeit that it rains a lot there. Or should I say, ‘used to rain a lot?’ Recent news has connected ongoing climate change in England to a drastic decline of rain, which may have a serious long term impact on the capital’s groundwater supply. Gavin Hammond, who’s unique and gloomy lomo photography we have featured before, has made it his mission to give the ‘rainy London as it used to be’ a moment in the sun. He has come up with a fantastic set of photos that shows many of the famous London spots in the reflection of puddles. It’s not only a great idea, the execution is fantastic, too.

Christophe Jacrot goes for motif hunting when most of us prefer to stay indoors. His Hong Kong in the Rain series features rain-soaked streets, ripples in puddles, and water drops on windows. All of it reminds me of my favourite Ridley Scott movie, Bladerunner.

Ben Mason is a singer/songwriter from Melbourne that I discovered around six years ago on MySpace. Back then, he had set up a little music page where he had uploaded three of the most amazing tunes I had listened to in a while and I was sure that someone with ears in his head and [...]

Yell Saccani is a photographer from Israel with a stunning portfolio that focuses on the dark side of humans. Many of Saccani’s photos remind me of Edward Munch, in particular her series where she features people that scream. Capturing her motifs mostly in movement, she has a way of creating an atmosphere of despair that I find quite haunting.

If there is such a thing as a collective unconscious world, then the octopus is spooking around in there for quite a while now. The amount of weird squid photos and drawings I have seen in the past twelve months surely is amazing.

Some people paint with acryllic paint, others use oil, and then there are people that simply take what’s left of their day to day beverage and create beautiful art with it. At least, that’s what Red Hong did. She claims that her project took about twelve hours to finish. I wonder how many cups of coffee she had in the process?

Man with a Movie Camera is an experimental 1929 silent documentary film that I find quite inspiring. It was created by Russian director Dziga Vertov. It features scenes of urban life in Odessa and other Soviet cities. What’s not typical for a silent movie of that time is that it contains neither story, nor specific [...]
