The Puppet Show
Post pobrano z: The Puppet Show
How can we forget the scent of dolls? A smell of plastic mixed with vanilla, with an after-taste of Roberts talcum powder, that enchanted you at the first encounter. You felt you could eat them.
Their names were Sissy, Corolle, Dennis and Stellina. There they were in the play-room, you pressed a button and like magic some sang, some walked and others did a pee. They had blue or brown eyes, with those mechanical eyelids that closed when you laid them down. But sometimes they stuck and the eyes stayed open even when they slept. Now, years later, you find the same faces here. They look at you with the same big eyes. They talk, laugh, dance and joke⦠like children. Because thatâs what they are. Children we ask too much of, to be perfect, like dolls. Who speak at least two languages correctly, go to lessons in riding, dancing, swimming, judo, singing, fencing and athletics. Children who behave themselves at the table, who know when to speak and when not to.
And who donât whine too much. Children who have become sons and daughters of perfection, pretence and image, manipulated by the media and the social context and who are inevitably losing their naturalness. This is the Puppet Show, the new artistic project by the photographers Winkler+Noah: 30 portraits of children from two to eight years old, taken very naturally and transformed into dolls by a subtle play of retouching. An exhibit which becomes a starting point for reflection, sociological research and introspection, to better understand ourselves and the world around us. And to understand that the best present we can give to children is to let them be children.

Disturb me – The popcorn makers
Post pobrano z: Disturb me – The popcorn makers
âDisturb Meâ is an interactive installation between human and his environment. It is to make perceptible the reciprocal links and often forgotten contact, that we maintain with our environment.
The projection depends on the sound emitted by the spectators and creates consequently, a transitory and colored environment. The projected forms are revealed when in contact with surfaces of the room.
The senses are awakened, the room becomes alive.

For President Obama’s 100th day in office, the MIT SENSEable City Lab has created visualizations of mobile phone call activity that characterize the inaugural crowd and answer the questions: Who was in Washington, D.C. for President Obama’s Inauguration Day? When did they arrive, where did they go, and how long did they stay? The results are presented in two dazzling visualizations.

The Art of Todd Scalise

Santa Fe artist/designer Todd Scalise goes big with his work. His recent string of colorful, large-scale mural projects are proof of this. Not to mention his latch-hook style rug portraits. More info on Scalise below.

Artist’s statement:
I think in shapes. Indigenous art systems from the southwest also rely on geometry to create imagery. To me, shape relationships are a magical way for images to take form. Contemporary and ancient âimages of powerâ are recurring themes in these paintings. I work with acrylic â paint and yarn. I consider my rugs to be âpaintings in yarnâ. The combination of iconography and geometric patterning gives them a heightened sense of abstraction. I view my painting process as being closer to sign painting than to easel painting. I allow myself the freedom of walking around a painting with one element at a time trying to explore all of its possibilities. I prefer to use water-based paint because water enables me to move in a way that oil-based paint will not. I achieve many of the shape relationships in my paintings by cutting tape directly onto the surface of the canvas to mask out colored areas. Paint stains are often the basis of a new composition. Spilling paint directly onto the surface of a canvas is one way I keep myself off balance. When a painting becomes too rigid, I take a palm sander to the surface. This distresses the image, which I inevitably have to rebuild. If needed, I use broad gestures of paint to revive a painting. When all else fails, I throw the painting into the washing machine. -Todd Scalise
