Much Madness is divinest Sense — To a discerning Eye — Much Sense — the starkest Madness — ’Tis the Majority In this, as All, prevail — Assent — and you are sane — Demur — you’re straightway dangerous — And handled with a Chain — poem by Emily Dickinson artwork by Ana Cissa Pinto (image ensemble over francesca woodman's photo)

Guests at the Standard Hotel, are treated to an awesome eye candy: "Civilization," a depiction of heaven, hell, and purgatory created by video artist Marco Brambilla. The video artist compiled hundreds of movie clips into one stunning piece inspired by Dante's Inferno. The piece runs as one enormous video collage. As the elevator rises, the sequence, running from an overhead projector, ascends to heaven. As the elevator descends, the video runs in reverse, ending in hell. Brambilla created the piece by assembling the movie clips, which he photoshopped together. He then took these to a digital animation house which combined all the clips, so that each one runs in a loop as part of one single video collage. I recommend a happy hour drink at the Boom Boom Room (the bar at the top of the Standard Hotel) even if just for the elevator ride! (Well, you will enjoy the view from up there as well and that is a promise!) Watch the video by clicking the link. http://vimeo.com/5...

A abertura é hoje na Mônica Filgueiras - Rua Bela Cintra, 1533 - 19H from causasonorablog: Mônica Filgueiras Galeria de Arte abre a exposição Coleção Particular , a primeira individual de Lea van Steen no circuito cultural. A mostra de vídeo-arte, com curadoria de Mônica Filgueiras , conta com as obras Jukebox , vídeo-instalação composta por oito vídeo-objetos, e o vídeo Favela . Ambas são marcadas pela dualidade, seja entre material e imaterial, real e imaginário ou registro imortalizado e efemeridade. A criação dos trabalhos de Lea van Steen nasce pela captação de imagens de seu cotidiano, que se colocam ora como pequenos tesouros guardados em caixas, ora como “pintura” em movimento. Coleção Particular é a primeira exposição individual de Lea van Steen no circuito cultural. A videomaker paulistana desenvolve seu trabalho transitando por diversos registros em vídeo (objeto...

A partir de 19 de abril, o CCBB (centro de São Paulo) recebe a maior exposição já feita no Brasil do artista holandês M.C. Escher (1898-1972). Ao todo, a mostra "O Mundo Mágico de Escher" reúne 95 de suas obras enigmáticas, incluindo gravuras originais, desenhos e fac-símiles. O público terá acesso a experiências interativas e a intervenções óticas, que tentam mostrar como é possível olhar pela janela de uma casa e ver tudo em ordem, por exemplo, e, em seguida ver tudo flutuando. Também será exibido um filme em 3D que proporciona um passeio por dentro das obras do artista. Até algumas de suas gravuras vão virar animação. source: guia da folha

In 2006, Noam Galai posted some pictures he had taken of himself on Flickr. Now the photos can found in about 40 different countries on anything from T-shirts to Iranian protest posters, while he is receiving neither the profit nor the rewards.

Immersive Cocoon: http://bit.ly/f2mz07 This spec teaser reveals an evolution in computing interaction, within a setting inspired by the penultimate scene from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Starring the lead actor from that film, Keir Dullea, live action was filmed multi-camera, against greenscreen atop a backlit plexi floor on a shoestring budget. Mr. Dullea was then integrated into an entirely digitally created 3D set rendered at 1080HD. The Immersive Cocoon is a future concept study by Tino Schaedler with design collective NAU ; an idea to push the envelope and provoke a new conception of interface technology.

I'm in love with Prager's work Here's a text from The Photography Post Photographer Alex Prager Turns Director With This 50s Chiller The setting: 1960s Los Angeles. Inside a phone booth stands a beautiful woman wearing the portentous femme fatale uniform of red lipstick and high heels. Bright and eerie, it’s picture-perfection. In her first short film, LA-based photographer Alex Prager is going for pure, cinematic melodrama, hoping to catch just one emotion—despair—through her chilling juxtaposition of dreamy Americana aesthetics and back-story brimming with overstated tragedy. Set to a score by composer Ali Helnwein and starring model and actress Bryce Dallas Howard, the film takes its cues from the opening of Charles Laughton’s Night of the Hunter (1955), and the Hans Christian Andersen-inspired 1948 ballet The Red Shoes. According to Prager, Despair was conceived as a living, full-sensory version of her photographic work, which has previously been exhibited at M+B Galler...
