Paper Objects by Vincent Tomczyk

A dusty old chair, a wrinkled pair of jean shorts, or the classic shape of a wooden Eames chair, common items you might encounter every day without giving them a second thought. But try to sit on that worn Corbusier bench or wear that pressed white shirt and you might be shocked as they tear or disintegrate before your very eyes because, amazingly, they are made almost completely with paper by Los Angeles-based artist Vincent Tomczyk.

Honeycomb Skyscraper by MAD Architects
March 28th, 2013

Honeycomb structures are usually associated with bees, not high rise buildings in China’s ever-growing cities. But MAD Architects are adding an iconic-looking honeycomb building—the Sinosteel International Plaza which is currently under construction and due to be completed this year—to the urban megapolis that is Tianjin.

The hexagonal façade not only looks good, but it also plays a structural role creating an exoskeleton so no internal columns are needed beyond the building’s core. The organic-looking patterns evolve across the exterior, giving a nod to China’s cultural heritage and the hexagonal Chinese Pavilions that can be found in parks, gardens, and temples across the land. It also gives the building an animated look and alters its appearance from different perspectives.

The aim was to give the two towers—one an 358 meter office tower and the other a 95 meter high hotel—a softer look than the usual skyscraper. “From a very simple concept, yet deeply rooted in ancient Chinese architecture, a subtle and sensitive building arises. Sinosteel International Plaza will establish a different urban landscape and soften the hard edge of the concrete jungle we live in, our modern city.” MAD Architects say.

A Breakdown of Annie Leibovitz’s Lighting
March 29th, 2013

Assistants, aka “voice activated light stands”, can be a wealth of knowledge and experience if you are fortunate enough to have access to one that’s been around. It’s not entirely unheard of, to meet an assistant that knows their lighting better than the photographer they are working for. If only one of them would create a blog about their behind the scenes exploits… wait a minute. What do we have here?

Melanie Mann is the author of a blog called: Confessions Of A Mad Photo Assistant, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Where she post really insightful articles, detailing the lighting set ups for shoots like the one below. But she doesn’t stop there. She also promises to share with us “…the stories no one gets to hear from the view of the lowly photo assistant–from plucking the gray stress hairs off of your boss’s wife’s head to chatting with John Paul Jones about smoked salmon eggs benedict.”

Turquoise Ice Formations
March 30th, 2013

The world is filled with natural wonders, but these ice hummocks on Lake Baikal in Russia’s eastern Siberia is one of the most amazing we have ever seen.

The lake is itself an ancient wonder, with an estimated age of at least 20 million years—it also holds one-fifth of the world’s fresh water.

The strange but beautiful hummocks are bright turquoise ice formations that occur when the lake freezes in the winter, causing the resulting ice layer on it to expand, crack and jut out unevenly.

When seen from above the water, they look like pristine shards of glass, while from below, they appear like gorgeous alien mineral formations from another planet.

Wool, Tar, + Latex Horses by Sandrine Pelletier
March 30th, 2013

Zitat

GoodBye Horses is a 2009 installation by artist Sandrine Pelletier at galerie Rosa Turetsky. The three galloping horses were created using suspended wool coated in black latex and tar, resulting in a stark contrast between the chaotic lines of the figures against the white gallery walls. From some angles the horses are unrecognizable, but even when brought into focus appear to be haphazard, almost violent illustrations.

Rug Made of Computer + Electrical Objects

Although we just covered the work of Federico Uribe a few days ago in this space, the artist also shared with me this additional work which I thought warranted its own post. Titled Tapete (Carpet) the work is a large carpet made from thousands of perfectly placed computer components: fans, cables, keyboard keys, motherboards, mice, and other parts. I recommend not wiping your feet here. Photography by Pipe Yanguas.
