Möbius Ship | Indianapolis Museum of Art

26 May, 2011 Pete

post_6445-450x444.jpg

California-based artist Tim Hawkinson is known for taking everyday materials and altering them in imaginative ways, creating works that address broad issues about the intersection of human consciousness, nature and technology. Here, he employed a mix of found objects and common household materials—including twist ties, craft wood, staples, and packing material—which he transformed almost alchemically into a complex and awe-inspiring sculpture.

Truly wonderful.

12 May, 2011 Pete

Olly Moss is a fucking rockstar. Would have loved to have seen this up close and personal. (Edit: Just realized this is in LA, not Chicago. Who wants to go?)

post_6170-450x305.jpg

Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

Clever and beautiful.

If you’ve been waiting to toss a piece up in 5 points, you best get moving. The clock might be ticking on this landmark building. Can we take pieces down like the Berlin wall?

The iconic graffiti-caked Long Island City factory known as 5Pointz has been tagged for development, likely ending its run as a street-art mecca.

Plastic Bag Monster

The Miha Artnak
Lovka na lovce (The Tackle of the Tentacle)
November, 2010

Together with Ekologi Brez Meja (ocistimo.si), Lukatarina and Eco Vitae we collected 40.000 used plastic bags and 7.500 used plastic cups from 12 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 4 high schools and 3 faculties from the city of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and from more than 500 people from Ljubljana.

Plastic Bag Monster from Kongresni trg spreads its plastic tentacles through the streets of Ljubljana. It symbolizes the spreading of the consumerism and waste segregation. The monster itself has adjusted to the environment and therefore survived. It is supplanting us from the food chain. It just might succeed and it’s all up to us. It is reproducing with inconceivable speed and knows no mercy. It feeds on individuals’ sloth and irresponsibility.
