Lucy Skull by Mike Pelletier

In 2011 I was invited to create a piece for an exhibition called "Ctrl-Z" curated by 3d artist Eric Van Straaten. This was a group exhibition of artworks created by various 3d printing processes.
The model of the skull was generated from a friend's dental tomography scan. The form of the object was created by creating an array of copies of the skull, where each successive copy of the skull is scaled, rotated, and moved. The skull starts at life size at the front and ends up rotated 180 degrees and two times larger than life at the back.

The Art of Geometry

FOLDS is a beautiful installation by David Mesguich and Valentin Van der Meulen that first appeared in 2009 at Maison des Arts de Malakoff, and again in 2010 at Art Paris 2010. The piece is made from numerous polypropylene shapes and creates a somewhat haunting anatomical amalgam of face and skull.

Alba Collection by Zsanett Benedek & Daniel Lakos

Alba Collection is a minimalist design collection created by Hungary-based designers Zsanett Benedek & Daniel Lakos. The aim of the collection was to find a balance between large volumes and minimalist lightness: a harmony between a mass and a shell. The original designs were finished in beech and veneer.
This is pretty much all I could ask for in a minimalist design collection: white color, soft curves, and clean lines. Details really do make the design, and in this particular case, even the slight inward flair of the desk and chair‘s legs are accentuated characteristics.

Ceramic Sculptures by Eva Hild

"My sculptures are bodies, exposed to pressure and movements.
On one hand, it is the mass in thin layers, running in a meander-like closed movement. On the other hand it is the empty space, air and light forming volumes, described by the contures of the mass. The construction is really made of the absent; the emptiness, the holes of air. The obvious body just defines the volume."

Modern Heroes Scupture by Mauro Perucchetti

Mauro Perucchetti is an Italian sculptor currently based out of the UK. Perucchetti’s work is an interesting combination of minimalism and pop culture sewn together with a kind of subtle wit that could only come from an Italian. [ via emptykingdom ]

Fairy Like Butterfly

Proposition One by Max De Esteban

Brilliant new series of photographs entitled "Proposition One" by Max De Esteban.
Esteban de-constructs the object he is going to shoot and, layer by layer, he photographs the inner workings. Then he reassembles the objects photographically. This process yields amazing results, giving us an x-ray feel. The photos also show the inner complexities and design that have gone into these classic pieces.

Propostion One: Only the ephemeral

Proposition One depicts obsolete technology products for producing and communicating art.

"The series of images have an x-ray, mortuary quality; as forensic testimonies of a past existence; vestiges of their inner structure can be clearly identified while others fade or have disappeared as in decomposing organic bodies. By eliminating the objects’ individual peculiarities, each photograph becomes a generic symbol of decay and death. While sophisticated and state-of-the-art not long ago, these tools evoke today a sense of fragility, archaism and trauma.

In constructing this photo-installation my concerns are: the consequences of today’s accelerated embracement of new technologies and formats in the art practice; the political implications of technical and functional obsolescence; and the conflicts involved in the concept of progress.

Rapid obsolescence in the working formats and techniques together with hugely superior access to archival resources is modifying the nature of artistic practice, accelerating its democratization and reinforcing its precarious nature."
