Kate Moss 3D Shoot by Baillie Walsh
Artist and filmmaker Baillie Walsh has created this short 3D film and shoot with model Kate Moss for AnOther Magazine.
KM3D-1 from artschoolvets on Vimeo.
The work continues Moss and Walsh’s journey into experimental, multi-dimensional image-making, first seen in their legendary holographic film for Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 2006 show. With a performance that recalls the fantastical cinema of Ray Harryhausen, James Bidgood and Kenneth Anger, KM3D-1 places at its centre one of the most iconic female figures of the modern age. Suspended in time and space, Kate is caught inexorably in the parallax gap; a butterfly in a spider’s web. Captured at 1,000 frames per second – a speed so slow that movement is almost imperceptible – the beauty of Kate’s face appears frozen, transforming her into an impenetrable deity. She is a figure of contemporary fantasy, shattering her own self-image. Made with state-of-the-art Phantom cameras, specially built for the project to create extreme slow motion and a dramatic 3D effect, KM3D-1 reflects AnOther Magazine’s raison d’etre: to champion creatives pushing the limits of what seems possible.

“Flight of the Rays” by Florian Schulz, the Environmental Photographer of the Year
A picture of an unprecedented congregation of Munkiana Devil Rays in Baja California Sur has won Florian Schulz the prestigious 2010 title of The Environmental Photographer of the Year.
The group of Munkiana Devil Rays were spotted in Baja California Sur, Mexico, by German conservation photographer Florian Schulz.
He described how he was able to capture his jaw-dropping image named Flight of the Rays:
“During an aerial expedition I came across something I had never seen before. Not even my pilot, who has surveyed this area for 20 years, had seen anything like it. As we got closer we started to discover its nature: an unprecedented congregation of rays. The group was as thick as it was wide, all heading towards the same direction. I have asked around why this took place but no one has been able to explain it to me. After such a unique sighting, I realize there are so many marvels in the oceans that we are yet to understand”
Framed Installation by Stuart Haygarth
UK designer Stuart Haygarth was commissioned to create an installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum for London Design Week. The installation uses 600 meters of frame supplied by John Jones Art Framers.
The off-cut pieces of picture frames used were cut, mitered, joined, sanded and painted to create a provocative surprise for people entering the V&A. We’re absolutely floored by the well-thought out and dramatic way they were brought to life using simple repetition and color.

Video Portraits by Robert Wilson
Brad Pitt
Theater director, designer, and choreographer Robert Wilson has been exploding conventional notions of portraiture since 2006. The portraits, shot in high-definition video, mount vertically on large plasma monitors, installed in collaboration with VOOM HD Networks, a corporation based in New York. A few hang in the Legion Arts building up the road, in Cedar Rapids.
These are not your typical Renaissance portraits, they move… Not by much but there are blinking eyes, mouths chewing gum, and wind-blown dresses.
Stepping away from the paint and canvas of the traditional artist, Wilson uses the high-definition canvas of the 21st century.

Sitooterie II, Sculpture by Heatherwick Studio
This amazing installation created by Heatherwick Studio is located at Barnards Farm, Essex, UK. The National Malus (crab-apple) Collection commissioned the studio to design a permanent pavilion to sit within their grounds.The structure is a cube, 2.4m in each dimension, punctured by over 5000, 18mm square hollow aluminum staves that act as miniature windows with tiny glazed ends, The staves form the structure and texture of the building and suspend the cube 1m above the ground.
The cube was precision-machined, by an aerospace company, from 15mm anodized aluminum and bonded together using special high-strength adhesive. The aluminum staves are arranged radially, the origin point being the center of the cube. A single light source located at this central point emits light at night through every tube, causing the windows to glow.

Chromatex.me by Softlab Studio
SOFTlab has produced an installation at the Bridgegallery in the lower east side of Manhattan. The multi-colored, temporary structure consists of 5,000 uniquely shaped panels held together by binder clips, creating volumes branching tunnels throughout the gallery space.
This project was fully founded by the on-line community by creating an interesting project at the kickstarter website were they offered a small ownership of the installation by engraving your name or a message in exchange of a small donation so when the installation is eventually disassembled, they will be shipped to their respective donor’s home. You can check out a map of some of the contributors to this project here.

Amazing High Speed Bullet Photography by Alexander Augusteijn
Alexander Augusteijn takes high-speed photography up a notch with these photos of bullets shooting through droplets of water.
Alexander Augusteijn says;
I am a photographer from the Netherlands, specializing in high speed photography. I use a normal flash to achieve very short illuminations. The most critical parameter in this kind of photography is timing, which is achieved by computer control of shutter, flash, valve, gun or whatever other device is used.
These kind of images require a lot of experimentation, dedication, patience and willingness to endlessly clean spill of liquids and debris from objects shot to pieces. Several hundreds of trial shots may be needed to get timing correct. After that, the process is pretty well controlled, and often half of the shots will be usable, with 1 out of 10 really interesting.

Urban Nests by Luzinterruptus
Imploring the very essence of a livable space for birds this time, the Spanish art group Luzinterruptus have come up with a vivacious installation called the Urban Nest .
It is a cosy series of lighting embellishments for scaffolding. Over 130 colored birds were placed in the yellow, plastic balls that were put in place to prevent accidents involving the scaffolding joints.

Shadow Art by Tim Noble and Sue Webster
Tim Noble and Sue Webster are an incredible artistic duo based in England who have worked on a variety of related projects experimenting with trash and projected shadows.
Their notable pieces are made from piles of rubbish collected from London streets. A light is projected against the pile, and the shadow on the wall creates an entirely different image, typically one of the couple themselves: this is not at all apparent from looking directly at the pile.

“Andromeda Strain Series,” Photographies by Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk
Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk lives and works in Amsterdam. He studied photography at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk says:
“After making many landscape photographs I realized the search for special places is more important than the place itself. The notion of discovery has been always intimately linked to photography. The cliche of the photographer as an explorer of unknown and rough places became a starting point to construct images. I played with the “National Geographic:-language essentially without leaving my hometown. I searched for locations that, after small interventions, can fit in an imaginary travelogue. Using low-budget special effects and lighting I staged natural phenomena and imagery. To this work made on location I added still-lives constructed in the studio. Referring to nature and scientific photography, the tabletop landscapes create confusion on the overall status of the series. I often choose material that has a perishable or unpredictable quality, like foam or spaghetti. No Photoshop is used to achieve the effects. The artificial and the real, and the different sources the image is based on, should be present simultaneously”.
Lexus CT 200h, Sculpture Installation
