Higher res images of the visuals here. More videos after the break: (more…)

Slightly visually confusing (Rand’s famous logos have been corrupted animated in it), this 4-minute video’s best value is actually the audio of himself talking about design, saying things like:

“Order, variety, contrast, symmetry, tension, balance, scale, texture, space, shape, light, shade and color. This is the language of form.”

“Don’t try to be original, try to be good.”

It took me a few moments to come up with the most accurate description for this guy’s work. Visible dreams: or a unique skill to create visuals that seem to belong in places like outer space, the subconscious, the nanoworld, etc.

His latest creation, “Durian“, is also a success at syncronizing music with abstract animations that almost “show” the music:

Good job by the organizers of FEM’s fourth edition for young designers, Hosted this year at trendy Hotel Campomanes

The Festival Shows a selection of artists, fashion designers and many other disciplines out of which we highlight Tiago Valente with an installation about the creative process of his new fashion collection which only exists as a concept, but trust me, it’s more than enough.
Guzman de Yarza in his documentarist trace, shows a video about an amazing character and uses the space as a sign of the real story behind the video by having the character as his guest at the hotel.
And also Bruno Milani, a creation of Filosofia Canalla, questioning aspects of the fashion world with a wonderful and mysterious collection for fancy little monsters.

Soledad Lorenzo spanish art gallery held show of David Delfin

Three days in which the catwalk almost played the role of a canvas. The “tempo” of the show, the models, the clothes, the lighting… Even if David Delfin’s (young multidisciplinary designer) usual way of approaching fashion is not conventional, in this occasion the final result was more “art being shown through fashion” rather than just fashion.

Don’t need barriers for art. The opening of the exhibition at the Swiss Institute in NYC was just fantastic

Not only because of the exhibition but also the DJ’s, the cheese, the beers, the people… everything. But the point is that Stephane Sautour had a cool piece of two electronic dogs fighting in the middle of the room. In a party of 300 people, no one could be bothered to touch, move or whatever, which proves that we don’t need those limits to see art that museums and fancy galleries invent for us. Congratulations to the SI for everything!

Bjork’s Kirie Eleison for a Nan Goldin multimedia installation

If Nan Golding is an incredible artist, when it comes to put music to an installation she also picks the best. The installation, now on show at Matthew Marks Gallery it’s a selection of Nan’s photos called Heartbeat; and it really is a heartbeat. Bjork’s music gives to the photos more sense, and you can see that for a few minutes there is something special on the air… you really get into the photos. It’s a shame not having the piece, but I’ve heard it will be on the next album.
