Martian landscapes

pieter | today and tomorrow — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:24:03 +0000

No, these aren’t some abstract paintings or some generative art, but photos from the surface of Mars. The NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbiting Mars since 2006 at a height approximately 300 km. The MRO has a very good camera on board: the HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has a resolution of a few inches per pixel. You can find more stunning photos at The Big Picture.

Veneer

Levi van Veluw is a Dutch artist who uses his head as a canvas. His first pieces that I discovered were his Ballpoint series. I was also quite impressed by his Light series, where he covered his head with light generating foil. But this time he didn’t use his real head for these Veneer pieces. He used a cast of his head in almost exactly the same position as in his previous work. I’m curious to see how his work will evolve.

A Spring in New York

Fred Lebain visited New York during last spring and photographed different locations. Then he printed out some large details, returned to those spots and made new photos of the prints aligned to the locations. It’s a very simple idea, but the idea is very nice.

Papercraft Self Portrait

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:44:30 +0000

This Papercraft Self Portrait was Eric Testroete his Halloween costume last weekend. Eric is a 3D artist in the Vancouver game industryand he was inspired by the big-head mode seen in videogames. It was probably quite fun for him to do an offscreen project with his 3D skills. You can find more photos in this Flickr set.

Display Book Shelf

Display Book Shelf by Daniel Eatock.

MDF shelf, 6 feet long, 1 foot wide, 3/4 inch thick, resting on two metal brackets displaying books borrowed from Belk Library. The shelf sags under the weight of its contents in a graceful arc, the top edges of all the books are perfectly flush as a result of a conscious selection of volumes chosen to accommodate (or compensate for) the arc of the sagging shelf.
