A link to my artsthread portfolio, just trying to build up my network a bit now that uni is coming to an end; gotta find all my old work to actually populate it now, ha. Most of it has already been posted on here anyway, but just in case there are interested parties out there, give it a click.

This is powerful. How do you see yourself? How do you think others see you? 

Naked Silhouette Alphabet by Anastasia Mastrakouli from Crofu, Greece. The photographic series NAKED SILHOUETTE ALPHABET is a latin alphabet art, formed by the naked body and performance of experimental textures that depict the silhouette.

It’s hard to visit an art or design blog these days without spotting the illustration work of Estonian artist Eiko Ojala, his Naked series is a great place to get started. The artist works digitally without the aid of 3D software where he draws everything by hand to create landscapes, figures and portraits that look as if they’ve been cut from paper. Most critical are the placement of shadows which Ojala also draws by hand.

Pratt student Melanie Hoff connected cables carrying 15,000 volts of electricity to a large plank of wood and then documented the results. Surprisingly the areas around each contact point don’t simply catch on fire or burn in a circle, but rather traverse outward in a fractal-like pattern, like lighting in slow motion.

I can see myself having to make something like this.

Choros is the latest experimental art film from director Michael Langan the explores the movement of the human body, specifically the motion of dancer Terah Maher. Choros follows in the steps of Eadweard Muybridge, Etienne-Jules Marey, and Norman McLaren, all of whom spent years studying the physical moment of animals and humans through film. Langan takes the next step using new digital innovations to layer some 32 sequential instances of a single movement and then stretch it out over time. Set to Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, the 13-minute video is pulsating, hypnotic, and flat out lovely to watch.

The nests of the Sociable Weaver Bird in the Kalahari. 
Massive structures built on the telephone poles of the region. 
The birds earn their sociable label by allowing other birds to nest in their enormous builds; anything up to 100 birds to a nest is not uncommon.

Revolution is an animated short by photographer Chris Turner, paper engineer Helen Friel and animator Jess Deacon that explores the life cycle of a single drop of water through the pages of an elaborate pop-up book. The book contains nine scenes that were animated using 1,000 photographic stills shot over the course of a year.

I love the Metal Gear series, not a design post.

This would have been so much cooler!
