I have never truly been unhappy in an airport. It probably has to do with the wanderer’s spirit I believe is in all of us. Airports have a certain vibration. They are our gateway to the rest of the world. There is something inherently magnetic about that. At least for me. This magnetism...

Amanda McCavour strikes me as a very meticulous person. I haven’t met her, but I feel you can learn a lot about someone through their creations. McCavour builds insanely intricate and detailed textile-based sculptures. She refers to them as “Thread Drawings.” When you look...

If the future doesn’t consist of me lounging around on a bed of air inside a bubble, I’m not interested in participating. While I am sort of kidding, it is a relief to see the work of Tomás Saraceno. The artist was born in Argentina but relocated to Germany where his most recent...

The Flaming Lips are scheduled to begin streaming their 24-hour song titled ’7 Skies H3′ at midnight on Halloween. Since the beginning of the year, The Flaming Lips have been releasing music in a unique and mostly physical form with their Flaming Lips Objects. The song will be...

Printed media is going the way of the dinosaur. Digital media is the now-preferred format for pretty much everything. I walked into a a car dealership the other day and found the lobby littered with digital picture frames displaying singular advertisements. So, in a world where $50-lcd...

If you’re not taking a photograph for artistic reasons, chances are you’re trying to capture a place and time as close to reality as you can. Panoramic cameras are pretty useful towards this aim, and there’s always a fun novelty in seeing a closer representation to what we...

The root word “photo-” means light. It is derived from the Greek words “phos” and “photos.” The suffix “-graphy” means writing. It is derived from the Latin root “graphia.” Brian Matthew Hart is a photographer or light writer...

I have a significantly large weak-spot for Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. Wright’s architecture was and still stands as a magnificent perspective on a utilitarian future that somehow remains organic. I have another weak-spot for architectural mapping. Architectural Mapping...

Aakash Nihalni is doing his very best to keep the neon colored tape industry afloat during this economic recession. Aakash uses brightly colored paper tape formed into shapes, reminiscent of middle school geometry class. He then sticks them up in public spaces throughout New York City and...

In China, there is a tradition of street art in which an individual uses a brush dipped in water to write out messages or poetry. This leaves a very temporary mark which disappears as it evaporates. Beijing-based artist Nicholas Hanna wanted to take it a step further and automate the whole...

Vice Cooler is a modern day renaissance man.Henry Rollins lists the guy as an inspiration. If the lead singer of Black Flag is inspired by you, you are definitely doing something. He started his first band,  XBXRX, at 15 years old and has since gone on to involve himself in countless...

You know how when you place two mirrors in front of each other and look in, a seemingly endless hall of mirrors appears? That’s called an Infinite Regress. The French artist, architect and theorist Serge Salat decided to manipulate this concept as much as he could, manifesting in an...

Battles will make you dance, but not really the style of dance you want anyone to see. Battles dancing is uncontrollable and awkward, you can’t help but lose yourself and freak out to the almost off-beat melodies; seemingly endless loops played over jangly synth lines and guitar riffs...

Frauke Thielking likes to put people in awkward positions. Though I don’t profess to know much about her, I do know she hails from Lübbecke, Germany, likes to be called Flauke, and her photographs speak to me. I get a sense of status quo and uniformity from her photographs, but at...

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter is no stranger to the world of directing, and the world of fashion is no stranger to the art of conceptual film (evidenced by our look at Gareth Pugh). Therefor, it’s a pleasant although not too shocking surprise Bangalter has directed the latest...
