“Exposure” Exhibition by Tierney Gearon
American artist Tierney Gearon will be showing a series of large-scale photography at Phillips de Pury auction house employing a new process for the artist. Each photograph, contrived through the classic mechanism of double exposure in camera, has been composed by carefully combining two of the artist’s images whose compositions and themes act as counterpoints to each other: interior space and wilderness; youth and old age; solitude and companionship. The result is a powerful exploration of psychological terrain.
HP Advanced Photo Paper by Publicis, Malaysia
This campaign is realized by Publicis, Malaysia to give the impression that someone actually walked through a gigantic piece of paper and caused it to tear. Several of these standees were then placed at strategic locations to demonstrate to passers-by that what’s real to their eyes is actually a reproduction using HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Vinyl Sleeve Heads
A FaceBook group has started a new amazing trend called “Sleeveface”. The concept is pretty simple: take a picture of yourself holding a vinyl album cover in front of your face and post it on the web for everyone to see. The result is always funny and very artistic. That made me want to dust off my old vinyls and give them a new life. So if your turntable is broken, you know what’s left to do.
Mariko Mori
Mariko Mori is a Japanese video and photographic artist . She worked briefly as a fashion model in the late 1980s.The artist graduated from the Bunka Fashion College “Tokyo” in 1988. Later that year, feeling restrained by the Japanese ethic of uniformity, she moved to London attending the Byam Shaw School of Art (1988-89), and Chelsea College of Art, London (1989-92). Since embarking on an Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1992-93), Mariko continues to work and live there.
Now, Mori has a new installation in New York. Called “Wave UFO”, the work transcends the pop iconography of her earlier efforts and offers an immersive experience that brings together architecture, real-time computer graphics, brainwave technology, sound, and state-of-the-art engineering to create a profound interactive experience. Anyone interested in experience design, and the relationship between art, technology and the future should see it.
