Sepalcure: Lovestep featuring Praveen in the mix and Sougwen Chung
Sepalcure is a collaboration of Brooklyn’s Praveen and Machinedrum. The two are creating something they call Lovestep, a combination of soulful house and 2 step beats. Here´s what they write about themselves:
“Sepalcure’s combination of love for bass and 90s house acapellas is the culmination of a cathartic two week collaboration between Machinedrum and Praveen. Their mix of tribal dub, house and two step beats works equally well for both late nights in the club and rainy, introspective nights at home. Detroit techno chords cut through wooden beats, neon synths and dubbed out atmospherics. Future lovestep.”I really like the idea and the´ve got proper support with the art direction by Sougwen Chung who produces imagery that goes with the music.

This mix by Preaveen is from November 2009 and features some of the best mellow dubstep tracks from 2009. This works so well for the frosty winter here in Berlin..some of my favourite tracks are among these.

The Art of Alex Varanese – The Imprint
He has a fabulous intergrated Design Style. Everything he designs melts in the same Design look, but it is never boring, rather more facinating, that he creates a world perfectly fitting. He understands himself as an artist more than a Designer. He doesn’t want that Design objects only have an aesthetic and beautiful appearance. The matter, the idea, the context and an all- embracing topic is the creator of his work.
“Our formative years are spent in a sponge-like state, our minds pummeled by an onslaught of stimuli that carves and etches a landscape in our grey matter like a planet being formed in a shower of asteroids, until adolescence arrives, our muscles tense, and we make our first attempt at standing up in the face the fusillade.”
But see for yourself and decide. His he either an Designer or an Artist. The Art of Alex Varanese
The work of Michael Johansson
I really like organized, symmetric objects and Michael Johansson builds them out of everything he can find. It must take ages to find the right things to build these things. Very impressive and with its own beauty. He does more things..have a look here.
Photographer Rune Guneriussen
Photographer Rune Guneriussen from Norway combines Landscapes with household objects. The description from “Cool Hunting” is way better then anything i could write:
“The scenes capture a peculiarly Nordic combination of otherworldliness and dark humor. A herd of desk lamps turn their lighted heads downwards to graze in the twilight of a lonely Savannah. Two chairs battle for supremacy on a lonely beach amidst a group of helpless bystanders. A line of telephones negotiates a stony mountain pass. While Guneriussen offers no interpretations of her work, the surreal juxtaposition of man-made objects with distinctly wild settings evokes the fragility and ultimately the ridiculousness of man’s efforts to subdue nature. The clean, sterile lines of the objects stand in defiant contrast to the ragged edges of the stones, waves and trees around them. “I really like this contrast, the colors and lights of nordic landscapes. Some could be mimicking animals, others are just completely misplaced..i think “Telefon” is my favourite.
And there´s lots of other great work on her website. I specially like “Evolution” and “Kraft”.

Urban Artist ROA creates A Giant Lanticular in London
As far as i could find out ROA is from Gent in Belgium. I was really impressed with his work with what i just found on Wooster Collective.
He generally paints giant animals, usually in black and white, and sometimes includes their skeleton or internal organs. See more on his Fotolog.. he did some amazing things in Warsaw recently.
The Pendulum for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai – by Milla&Partner
2 weeks ago my university was invited to see the pre-presentation of the energysphere. It is a sphere which is going to be installed at the german-pavillon fpr the expo 2010 in shanghai. The Event-Agency Milla&Partner created this amazing element. With hundred of thousands of LED´s it creates different visuals on its surface. In Shanghai it will interact with the participants. For example if the people are screaming – the sphere will be following the voices. It was very impressive to see this. Its still having some problems with the interaction, but i am sure it will be impressive at shanghai.
It weighs 1200kg and has a diameter of 3m.
Check the video below.
The work of Ryohei Hase
Ryohei Hase is a freelance illustrator and artist based in Tokyo. I am truly impressed with his Illustrations. In my opinion the “Repetition” series carries some of the distress of todays society. Fantastic work! There are some rabbits in his illustrations and “Hase” in german means “rabbit”. Not sure if there is any association.. an interesting detail though.
Here´s what he writes about his work:
Here are some of my favourites. Click on the images to view a bigger version.

A glimpse of Street Art in Lisbon
I am currently in Portugal and went for a nice walk in a part of Lisbon called Alfama. Being the oldest part of Lisbon it is also a very touristic one..still, if you keep your eyes open there are some nice details of urban art to be found. I like the aesthetics of the old buildings, the mix of cobbles and steep stairsets .
So here are some pictures i made during my walk. I am looking forward to look for more at Bairro Alto next Saturday.
Let me know what you think.
Modeselektor – Art&Cash Official Video by Pfadfinderei
Total mayhem..and what a tune! I remember listening to this one on a recent Modeselektor gig in WMF Berlin. Massive! Here´s what it says in the video description:
“Facing crisis and tormented by the sorrows of monetary depletion there was only one solution for the House of Modeselektor. All capital must go! And fast!Property funds crashing like Windows 2000, investing in gold too 80s and the rights to Jacko’s portfolio too expensive. Only one answer remained: Art.
Versed on the international art trade floor it was easy for them to win over two sought-after art dealers; to seal the deal and to go on a shopping spree.
“Art & Cash” is the shocking “behind the scenes” documentary of that German art campaign. In the process a scandal was revealed that is shaking experts to this day. For years and under the watchful eyes of millions did the “Fantastic Nobodies” – exceptionally gifted art counterfeiters and weirdos from Brooklyn – manage to sell themselves as renowned works of art, thus creating inexplicable damage…”

Installations by Esther Stocker
I really like the installations made by Esther Stocker. I´m a very organised person and the rooms she builds are fascinating..if my brain was a house one of the rooms would probably look like one of these.

Dan Tobin Smith – Still Life Photography
Dan Tobin Smith does some amazing Installations for Still Life Photography. As you can see there is almost no Photoshop involved and these Pics require a massive effort. See lots more on his website, where he shows some impressive ads for clients like sony, visa or the new album cover of the hip hop artist Jay Z. I love the colors and intensity of these..Letter Y is my favourite and in the same time the most recent one (dated September 2009).

Glitch: Designing Imperfection
Ever heard of a Glitch? I´ve been intrigued by the fact that design imperfection might be a source of inspiration. Since i´ve seen more and more intentional and accidental design “glitches” i do think that this is justified…and find myself more and more capable of appreciating these imperfections.
Now there is a book out and this is what i found on “Cool Hunting” about it:
Recently released by Mark Batty Publishers, “Glitch: Designing Imperfection” examines these errors as works of art and explores their geneses. The editors culled more than 200 glitch images from the various artists who created them, both by accident and experiment. The striking visuals are interspersed with interviews conducted with artists Angela Lorenz, Johnny Rogers, Kim Cascone, Ant Scott and O.K. Parking. “Glitch” also leads off with particularly illuminating essays by Norwegian artist Per Platou and designer/author Iman Moradi.
Observed through the lens of a handsome coffee table book, the amassed images garner a deeper appreciation for the digital fluke and make a convincing case for accidents as source of inspiration.”Here are some page samples of what you can expect in the Book:
COMBO a collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis
This might be the most impressive Combination of Street Art and Interactive Media i´ve seen in a long time. Blu is no unknown for who has some interest in street art and David Ellis does some delightful pieces himself. In this cooperation they used an entire building with all aspects and details..brilliant!
