Spoonphony

Spoonphony is a kinetic sound installation with a rhythmic core. Based on the idea of a spoon as percussion instrument.

2 week project based on the brief of spoon.
I was interested in the sonic properties of the spoon and how it has been used very often to make
“sound”. Kids messing around, hosts using it to attract the crow’s attention etc.

Reverse of volume RG: Yasuaki Onishi

http://vimeo.com/41997966

In his installation, reverse of volume RG, Yasuaki Onishi uses the simplest materials — plastic sheeting and black hot glue — to create a monumental, mountainous form that appears to float inside of Rice University Art Gallery.

Sync by Max Hattler
A simple but mind blowing looping circular video projection. Reminds of the Eames films and their ability to create hypnotic transcendence.
Winner of the Visual Music Award 2011 Special Prize, the Award for Best Video Installation at Multivision Festival 2011, and a Special Mention at Premio Simona Gesmundo 2011.

After        The Mona Lisa 8  
is constructed from 1482 larger spools of thread so the image resolution        is very low. Yet when seen through a viewing sphere, the thread spools condense        into a recognizable image, conveying how little information the brain needs        to make sense of visual imagery it has already been exposed to.

At          first glance, the thread spool installation appears to be a random arrangement          of spools of thread. A clear acrylic sphere placed in front of the work,          shrinks and condenses the thread spool “pixels” into a recognizable image          while also rotating the imagery 180 degrees like the human eye. This shift          in perception functions as a dramatic mechanism to present the idea that          there is no one truth or reality, emphasizing subjective reality vs. an          absolute truth.

tele-present water

This installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is being collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data buoy Station 46246 (49°59’7” N 145°5’20” W) on the Pacific Ocean. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred to the mechanical grid structure installed at The National Museum in Wroclaw, Poland. The result was a simulation of the physical effects caused by the movement of water from this distant location.

EVOL ‘Urban Stencil City’

Description smileinyourface

German street artist EVOL creates hyper realistic miniature buildings and cities in all sorts of places, by stenciling flat surfaces.

The one shown here is made in a field near Hamburg as part of the upcoming MS Dockville music and art festival, and is presumably the best one so far. The installation took 8 days to construct. Photos of the process are shown here.

Here‘s another cool installation done in Dresden.
