Sunset Cabin in Lake Simcoe, Ontario by Taylor Smyth
May 14th, 2008 by Chantal
The sunset cabin based in Lake Simcoe, Ontario is build by Taylor Smyth Architects . It is a 275-square-foot wood-and-glass box that hovers lightly above the lake shore. The walls with views are composed entirely of glass, augmented with an exterior horizontal cedar screen that both braces the structure from twisting and filters bright summer light. At night, the effect is reversed—electric interior light illuminates the cabin like a lantern. Window cutouts in the cedar screen fulfill the couple’s single request: a bedside view of nightly sunsets.

“Doll Face”, Short Film by Andy Huang
May 12th, 2008 by Chantal
I found this fascinating little short film on The Art Inquirer blog. Directed By Andy Huang, this film speaks on many different levels about the struggle between individuality and conformity in response to external ideals.
Andy’s latest independent short film “Doll Face” has been selected as part of the Official Selection at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France, as well as the Electronic Theater at SIGGRAPH 2006 in Boston . Since the completion of “Doll Face” in December 2005, Andy, now 22 years old, continues animation work for Root Films, a production company in Los Angeles.
