James Roper, is an amazing Manchester based artist.

Fine Art

Wayne White

5 August, 2008 Pete

Celebrated painter Wayne White to get his well-deserved place on the shelf. A chronicle for his typographic landscapes. Add to the wish list because this one blooms in Spring.

Eureka Carpark Melbourne

5 August, 2008 Pete

This way-finding-system for the Eureka Tower Carpark in Melbourne uses distored letters on the walls, which can be read perfectly when standing at the right position.

Gargantuan Scale Model of Shanghai in 2020

5 August, 2008 Pete

post_201-450x338.jpg

On the third floor of the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, is what seems to be the world’s largest scale model of a city. The room-sized model of central Shanghai (China’s most populated city) in 2020, as envisioned by urban planners, fills an area larger than 100 square meters (1,000 square feet)

Crimes and Misdemeanors

5 August, 2008 Pete

A nice visualization of White House scandals from Slate. Each scandal is represented by a colored circle that encompasses the people who are implicated. Venn-diagram heaven!

Graphic Design

Christopher Hewitt

5 August, 2008 Pete

Nice mininal portfolio showcase (running on the equally elegant Indxr) for ace director/designer Christopher Hewitt, who you might remember as Dstrukt not too long ago.

Massive Attack stage set by United Visual Artists

4 August, 2008 Pete

post_183-400x267.jpg

For their fourth tour with Massive Attack, UVA created a new stage set, with a wide, sculptural LED screen as the centrepiece. The visual treatments, created in collaboration with Massive Attack, are the group’s most explicitly political yet. Flickering references to rendition flights, detention without charge and surveillance societies light up the stage, and computer-controlled lights, also designed by UVA, allow perfect synchronisation between the music and the visuals

Primal Source – Haque Design + Research

4 August, 2008 Pete

post_185-450x183.jpg

Specially commissioned by the City of Santa Monica, California, for Glow 08, Primal Source was an all-night performance/installation brought to life through the active participation of festival-goers (estimated at approx. 200,000 over the course of the night). Located on the beach near the Pier in an area that had been specifically landscaped over the course of several days, and making use of a large-scale outdoor waterscreen/mist projection system, the mirage-like installation glowed with colours and ebullient patterns created in response to the competing and collaborative voices, music and screams of people nearby.

Installation

Beautiful architectural concepts from Archigram – the avant-garde architectural group formed in the 1960s in London.

Monkey : Journey To The West

1 August, 2008 Pete

post_169-450x405.jpg

The guys behind the Gorillaz seem to be involved in an ambitious new project called Monkey : Journey To The West. Apparently its a full-on Opera with Damon Albarn writing the instrumental score (though not the lyrics) and Jamie Hewlett providing all aspects of visual design.

I suspect that as always the end results will be spectacular. Here is a review by the New York Times.

P.S. Check out this animation for the BBC’s coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. (Props to the BBC for being so creative in their Sports marketing)
