Prism Liquid

Canon's neoreal installation at the Milan design week is simply amazing.. the structure reminds me of a glacier and the projections look like the reflections and refractions of light on water/ice. wow...the calibration of the projection must have been intense....

Designed by Akihisa Hirata and Kyota Takahashi:

"...the space is structured as a polyhedron, which glows in various prism-like colors. the lights flicker and move just as if water was flowing, changing their shape several times. two opposite concepts - static and dynamic, concrete and abstract, input and output - coexist in one world. the polyhedral screens are arranged in a sprial that is connected three-dimensionally, in which a world of new images comes to life through the colorful lights created by takahashi which are projected onto the larger-than-life construction (almost 6 m high, 8 m wide, 40 m deep) by akihisa hirata. the technical details behind the installation are possible through canon digital imaging technologies. the images which are seen have been taken with a digital single lens reflex camera and are projected in many colors, through 21 projectors on several polyhedral screens."

creepy dolls...Mark Ryden

Continuing on my fascination with all things creepy and slightly morbid, California artist Mark Ryden creates completely surreal and yet peculiar paintings of little doll-like girls.

They kinda remind me of the freaky Blythe Dolls and a bit of Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland
