shich posted this on her blog some time ago... i think this trailer that explains the concepts is really quite inspiring, brings out all the possibilities of spatial perception that sort of makes me want to mention our tesseract. lol. not the same though.

and another one that bangs on the same theory...
individuality

play it here

yay escher.

more escher references spotted from Alexander Mcqueen AW09...

did some much-needed luxury-window shopping online

and here are the picks:


really interesting colour= cute shoes! the dipping in orange paint really is just genius.from here



made from a laser cut sheet of pure gold wrapped around a pearl. understated, easily produced and the simple design will probably last for a lifetime. this is what i call effortless design. great for keeping on fingers for future family heirlooms eh.from here



army green lace up rain boots. better than wellies.from here


i so want this:


yeah but at USD$449, its veryvery close to impossible. bleagh.from here


what are the chances i find something like this in singapore for me to buy?
from here


and lastttt but probably most precious,

Gareth Pugh AW'09. very twisted and sinister but very cool, inspiring imagery. interesting use of silk chiffon, i would say. like some writhing inkblot. how wonderful.


that's all for now.
mostly a shoe post eh, maybe its an indication of a new phase.

why is it,

that some things gather reactions and some dont? why is it that only some ideas see the light of day? why are only certain thoughts talked about? why is it, that some people get more attention than others?

i dont understand.

it seems that popularity has little correlation to quality in all aspects of life.

this has a style that is so unique! the melancholy of a not so distant future...

some people just annoy me so much with their superficial socializing skills,

i just want to grrrrr and tear them into many pieces.

and there are so many in hall! so many i can understand why pple kill themselves over this. so many i can understand how most of these pple feel incredibly lonely even when they are in a crowded room.

they smile and come to you and ask how your day was and pretend to genuinely give a toot about you when actually all they want is just strike you off their list of agendas of the day.

chionging 2D publication stuff

beautiful image from here . minimalist and intimate. sort of reminds me of felix gonzales torres....

currently listening to the (jazz!) zen of fredrika stahl... a sample cd which came with my mum's newly-bought sennheiser earphones. stupid itunes categorizes it under rock... this is so far from rock can =__=

coraline!

i want to catch this! looks like a pretteh promising stop animation.

check out the movie site here. plenty amazing and interesting at the same time, take the time to click around and explore, there are some pretty cool rewards tucked in the corners.

the trailers tucked away at the theatre in the site are worth watching.

tesseract

did this up with jane and tioranu over the weekend... took us three whole days and close to 300bucks worth of transparent stickers to complete!

looks great and we are all really proud of it =D

now to explain the concept behind it, the tesseract, which was what really sparked us off on this project.

Meg sighed. "Just explain it to me."
"Okay," Charles said. "What is the first dimension?"
"Well- a line."
"Okay. And the second dimension?"
"Well, you'd square the line. A flat square would be in the second dimension."
"And the third?"
"Well, you'd square the second dimension. Then the square wouldn't be flat any more. It would have a bottom, and sides, and a top."
"And the fourth?"
"Well, I guess if you want to put it into mathematical terms you'd square the square. But you can't take a pencil and draw it the way you can the first three. I know it's got something to do with Einstein and time. I guess maybe you could call the fourth dimension Time."
"That's right," Charles said. "Good girl. Okay, then, for the fifth dimension you'd square the fourth, wouldn't you?"
"I guess so."
"Well, the fifth dimension's a tesseract."

---A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
Madeleine L'Engle

Inspired by the mathematical concept of the tesseract as a means of transcending space and time, our group aims to represent the analytical nature of scientific research graphically, as tangible colour in space.

At a defined point the work seems fixed, static and perfectly logical, but move around and it slowly shifts out of reason.

Walking through the piece, the viewer is immediately immersed into a kaleidoscopic field of colours that serves to unnerve, warping preconceptions of spatial and geometrical understanding.

Hence produces a piece that exists not only in a given point in time and space, but is both affecting and affected by the viewer, transforming according to what he perceives of it.

nice song and rather cute mv!

this is pretty amazing performance, visuals and media programming
