Art&Exhibitions

I went to see Rob Ryan's paper cut art works yesterday.  (via @NoriFla Thanks!) I really liked his fine, crisp but simple work, which has lovely "stories" inside. Sometimes the story is sentimental, sometimes happy, I will never get bored looking at these art. It might be interesting if it becomes animation...like moving pictures. They […]

I went to see "decode" exhibition at V&A. It's about digital art, and the main theme is visualization by codes, network and interactivity. Lots of different data were used to visualize, but I liked the one with Twitter, Social Collider. Visual design was good too. I also liked Body Paint which really simulates "painting" using […]

I went to see onedotzero this year too. I didn't see any installation, so it's only about j-star09. They showed these movies. 1. Satoshi Tomioka : "Usavich" 2. Kitune Akimoto : "Meat or Die" 3. Hidenobu Tanabe : "Phantom Planet" (Beat Crusaders) 4. Takeshi Nakamura : "Mind Wall" 5. Shintaro Kago : "Terror on the […]

The course finished last week. One year was so quick! For the last project, we made an iPhone application called "Alight". Alight is an application to allow users to associate their small ideas in daily life with particular location, so that they will have more chanced to develop them further. I was in charge of […]

Portugal day3 = Offf day 2. The first talk I saw on that day was by Aaron Koblin. I had seen his works sometimes, but didn't know his name, so it was so surprising I could hear his talk in Portugal. He visualise the information using the Processing, and also does experimental projects related to […]

I went to see a performance by "Kodo" (A group of Japanese traditional drum players). To be honest, I hadn't seen any proper Japanese drum performance before, and I just went there because it was 50% off for students! But it was amazing. Just amazing. I thought it would be good when I saw the […]

Portugal, Day2. (yes, it's confusing but switch your brain!) It was the first day of the event, OFFF. There was a long queue in the morning! After waiting a lot, finally we went inside the place. There were some interactive installation, and, Microsoft was showing their interactive campus and "Surface". Opening talk was by Neville […]

went to Kinetica art fair on the other day. It was really interesting to see interactive arts, or dynamic arts. This is the place. It's difficult to explain with words, so pictures.... There are some interactive arts, like getting information from real world and convert it into graphics etc... Or something which moves reacting human's […]

My friend invited me to Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) exhibition! It was in Hamstead. ...Before that, we went to eat crape which is really popular in Hamstead. Wow, there was a long queue... I was in two minds of eating sweet one or savory one...but decided to have mushroom tarragon cream one as I was […]

The event has closed already, but I went to see Alan Aldridge at Design Museum. So the image of Alan Aldridge is basically the Beatles..but I hadn't looked at his art works in detail. It was amazing, the more you looked at, the more you find detailed elements. You can find a lot of things […]
