Toulouse based Pierre Emperador‘s latest project; Cybo ‘Sky Walkers’ “… This is about escape, to give free rein once again to this part of our subconscious, that freedom which is one of the few that we have and we call ‘imagination’. …”
DURAMEN is a series of handmade wooden sculptures from Bonsoir Paris. Born of a simple impulse, the one to break with conventional ways of exhibiting, Bonsoir Paris and its team have imagined a series of frames so strongly mistreated that they have become unrecognizable. Their wish is to break the properties of the compound, a form of compromise as minimal and it is efficient.
This is stunning, beautiful and all around #@$! crazy good; METACHAOS from Italian Artist Alessandro Bavari.
METACHAOS is a multidisciplinary audio-visual project, articulated in a short film, a set of photography and mix-technique paintings. The purpose of the project is to represent the most tragic aspects of the human nature and of its motion, such as war, madness, social change and hate. An accretion of feelings that are metaphorically represented by specific visual forms, which are abstract conceptually, but concrete and tangible formally. The application of acid and monochromatic tints, besides the strong contrasts, makes everything intentionally more oppressive and tragic.
Arizona based Artist/Designer/Illustrator Anthony Hurd recently launched a project he has been working on over the last year; Children’s book: Angry Garden; The story of John Angry and his mysterious garden.
When John was a boy he lived in a remote and loving environment. At a young age tragedy struck with the loss of his sight. Though from the loss of his sight he formed a new way of seeing and the world became something magical. He treats everything on his land with equal love and care, and nurtures it’s magical nature …
Pretty crazy CG and Post … just saw this posted over at Motionographer [check out their interview with BLR (www.biglazyrobot.com) on the project] :::
Eliezer S. Yudkowsky* wrote about an experiment which had to do with Artificial Inteligence. In a near future, man will have given birth to machines that are able to rewrite their codes, to improve themselves, and, why not, to dispense with them. This idea sounded a little bit distant to some critic voices, so an experiment was to be done: keep the AI sealed in a box from which it could not get out except by one mean: convincing a human guardian to let it out.
What if, as Yudkowsky states, ‘Humans are not secure’? Could we chess match our best creation to grant our own survival? Would man be humble enough to accept he was superseded, to look for primitive ways to find himself back, to cure himself from a disease that’s on his own genes? How to capture a force we voluntarily set free? What if mankind worst enemy were humans?
In a near future, we will cease to be the dominant race.
In a near future, we will learn to fear what is to come.
From Vancouver based Jeff Hamada and Corey Adams for Native :::
A child doesn’t listen to a fairy tale and scream, THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN! The same goes for this Native data entry job. What’s to doubt in this dreamy scavenge at a stopwatch pace? A mad shoemaker for sure underwent this lush trial by bizarre ordeal and stoically bore the high blood pressure of forgotten alchemists. All of this along with a drop of Pepto-Bismol to mingle with all the computer-electrical secrets of heaven and… Voila! The indomitable Fitzsimmons sure has been cannoned onto your lucky and happier than ever before foot.
