Fairey at CACC


Combining both contemorary art and architectture, Shepard Fairey’s Supply and Demand opened last night at Zaha Hadid’s CACC. If anybody on here is in Cinci, I’d really appreciate a copy of the commemerative screen print. I will gladly pay and/or barter for some NW microbrew.

#integration

I finally got around to seeing Avatar last weekend. CG overload aside, I really enjoyed the central theme that focused on the tight integration between humans/animals/plants/architecture. It reminded me of the architectural and environmental integration in Duly Lee’s Canopy Tower concept. Warning: NSFW or any other situation where productivity is needed. Space Collective is highly addictive and will make your brain hurt.

bike on a wire

It’s an interesting concept. …although it will be a loooong time before the need justifies the cost of infrastructure.

The Third & The Seventh

Amazing animation, I’d say Roman’s work here is better than Avatar.

when does engineering define beauty?

When it creates a cultural icon that comes to define a nation.
