Something Planned: Think Beauty

BUNKRE — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 13:57:50 +0000

Here’s a cool little piece using orange safety tape and a chain link fence from Something Planned (direct link – who still uses frames?!) complete with time-lapse video of its creation. Via NOTCOT.

Long Exposure Vintage Videogame Photos

BUNKRE — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 03:57:15 +0000

Rosemarie Fiore took these long-exposure photos of old Atari games. From her website:

These photographs are long exposures taken while playing video war games of the 80′s created by Atari, Centuri and Taito. The photographs were shot from video game screens while I played the games. By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.

Quick! Someone call the Strokes!

Brian Dettmer’s Carved Books

BUNKRE — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 03:25:18 +0000

I just came across this little gem on JoshSpear. Artist Brian Dettmer carves into old books, mostly reference books apparently, to reveal artfully chosen bits of content. I can’t image what kind of times this takes, let alone what sort of tools, but they are captivating. There are plenty of images here, and also here, and information can be found on Wikipedia.

3D Light Graffiti

BUNKRE — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:55:34 +0000

Flickr user Lichtfaktor has some stunning shots of 3D light graffiti using the “light painting” photo technique of locking down the shutter and drawing in three dimensional space with flash lights, glow sticks, or any other light emitting object.

See the whole slideshow here.

The New Shelton Wet/Dry posted some pretty cool photos of sculptures made of trash that cast beautiful shadows. Most pieces are by Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Photo from Tate Etc.

Quite a clever ad for Nationwide in downtown Columbus Ohio.

Terrr Mon Amour Prints

BUNKRE — Fri, 25 May 2007 03:03:09 +0000

I just caught these cibachrome and lambda prints by Pedro Inoue over at Changethethought™ from his Terrr Mon Amour site. They are simply mesmerizing. And they would still hold up just as well if you were to strip out the overzealous political “statements”.

You can see more of his work at here, but I haven’t seen anything nearly as strong as those prints.

Kill Pixie

Kill Pixie, originally uploaded by macca.

I stumbled upon the work of Kill Pixie on the Happy Magazine site. Pretty cool stuff. There doesn’t seem to be much on his official site, but you can see more on his MySpace page, but apparently, not even a talented street artist can make one of those things look any good.

More here.

Behance Dot Grid & Action Books

BUNKRE — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 14:36:52 +0000

OK, apparently I am on a role with design-geek stuff this week. As long as I am showing my true colors, I may as well admit to this bit of real geek lust: a really nice notebook.

I know, I know… but look at it! (Take THAT, Moleskine!)

I always use graph paper pads for meeting notes, to-do lists, thumbnails, site maps… pretty much everything. The problem is, I can never find the really tiny grid stuff and the quarter-inch grid crap makes me feel like a 1st grader learning my letter forms.

Then I find what these guys are pushing. Dot grids? Action lists? Your choice of three PMS colors?! Now if I can only convince my boss to drop $15 a 50 page book…
