techno-kinetic wave sculptures

visualinput, aesthetics November 30th, 2009

Reuben Margolin, a Bay Area visionary and longtime maker, creates totally singular techno-kinetic wave sculptures. Using everything from wood to cardboard to found and salvaged objects, Reubens artwork is diverse, with sculptures ranging from tiny to looming, motorized to hand-cranked. Focusing on natural elements like a discrete water droplet or a powerful ocean eddy, his work is elegant and hypnotic. Also, learn how ocean waves can power our future.

yagues_vstopi_enterifyoucan.jpgThe 28th Biennial of Graphic Arts is a multifaceted event with a long tradition; it consists of a number of exhibitions as well as other happenings. Once again, the Biennial’s central exhibition, The Matrix: An Unstable Reality, on view for two months in Ljubljana galleries, will focus on contemporary graphic art in the broadest sense of the term.
The exhibition responds to certain vital questions for society and art raised by the cult movie trilogy The Matrix. Does a medium stay the same once it incorporates new technologies in its discourse? Does this increase the audience for art? What is the social power of those who possess the matrix? Is the possession of the matrix enough to also justify exclusive reproduction rights? Can we create a perfect world, whether real or virtual?

Further the exhibition offers a selection of more than eighty internationally established and emerging artists. Their work extends from traditional and contemporary printmaking to artist's books and interventions in the public space, in the mass media, and on computers.

After a long time not blogging here on that playground - in the meanwhile gaining some new ideas on digital nomadism - I have just found a review of my farLEEx pt leeside blog on BUSINESS BLOG REVIEW - the Daily Review around Existing Business Blogs on the net,
posted 2008, Jul 28th, with the following statement:

Best fact about it is that you find everything at one place in this farLEEx pt leeside blog. Prime thing is the archive feature deals as a promptly viewpoint to old and pertinent things. Each line that’s written is worth its weight in gold. Presentations, figures and arguments what else one demands to be convinced. I am engaged by pithy and fancy headlines that get me into the post. I like the cheerful approach in which the articles are written. The blog’s writer keeps the quality in every post. I love the positivity I get on this blog. It’s nice to find a blog where I can dig both old and latest articles. At once you read an n article you cannot wait to read another one for the comments provided.

At once you begin reading you could not give over. Images mixed within the articles, add to the experience. The writer appears to know the beat of the industry. The impressive appearance and feel of this site set my cast for reading on it. The information has been placed so clearly that even a kid can understand it. The ideas provided could be an eye opener in terms more than one. The studies references put in the blog posts are an ease for the visitors. The writer does not take sides instead explains both parts of the case perfectly. This blog is the absolute source of knowledge on this field. This blog is like a microscope it provides evens the minutest of details on the subject. This blog is what holds me aligned with latest knowledge. Definitely unique and awesome are the ideas defined.

Very Charming! Thx farLEEx

Genie des Humors…

banksy-what-are-you-looking-at.jpgeine kleine Würdigung möchte hier nun veröffentlicht werden (wieder einmal) - inspiriert von einem möglichen neuen Kapitel der Kunstgeschichte, verleihe ich meiner Stimmung hier Ausdruck und poste...zu Banksy, dem inspirierenden Star (welcher heute mal ´ne Präsentation einleiten durfte).

Mr. Robert Banks, oder nun Robin Banksy (das bleibt wohl unklar), als Einzelperson oder Gruppe, widme ich ein paar Zeilen....was an ihm auffällt, ist sein Humor, sein Witz...die Inspiration sozusagen! Banksy signiert und beherrscht seine Umwelt, ohne durch sie beherrscht zu werden. Etwas tiefgreifend Freundliches wird in die Städte, Museen gebracht, wobei mir die bestechende Intelligenz am meisten imponiert.
Das Credo von Warhol und Roy Lichtenstein hat er verstanden, KEIN Sprayer mit Schablone und Stencil, whatever...heute im Atelier, sofern nicht auf die Kameras im öffentlichen Raum abzielend!
Interagierende Kunst, ohne multimedial zu sein!

Nach dem Motto: "Raus aus dem Alltag, Denkblockaden lösen", inspiriert Herr Hannes Treichl, Herausgeber des anders|denken Blog in seiner [C]ouch mit ein paar visuellen Inputs! Die Gabe, zufällige und unerwartete Entdeckungen zu machen wird ja auch als Serendipity-Prinzip oder engl. Serendipity bezeichnet (& ich meine hier nicht die gleichlautende php-blog-software). Vor ein paar Stunden unterhielt ich mich noch darüber, dass Videos generell in Blogs eher ungern gesehen werden müssten, auch in Bezug auf Anleitungen für Mitarbeiter zum Aneignen von neuem Wissen im Unternehmenskontext. Ach ja, remind me!
Raus aus dem Alltag...!
