Absolut Machines | Absolut Quartet 2008-03-09 17:03:00 The AbsolutQuartet
is a multi-instrumental music-making installation combining art and technology to create the equivalent of a classic human quartet. It is an 'automated multi-instrumental orchestral machine, a large-scale electromechanical sculpture consisting of three instruments and thousands of parts, working together to create one piece of music. The main timbre is a marimba played by balls shot from a robotic cannon. Other components include a series of wineglasses played by little robotic fingers and an array of robotic percussive instruments'.Prepare to be amazed > check the video!The musical installation is on display at New York and you can get the chance to interact with the machine by logging in to absolutmachines.com.

Alex Prager 2008-03-04 05:06:00 'Prager
photographs her female subjects in a style reminiscent of the great mid 20th Century film directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Douglas Sirk. Amongst the naivety of her compositions and colour palate there is the suggestion of impending narrative. Similar to old style movie stills displayed outside cinemas, Prager’s photographs offer us stories that encourage us to imagine what happens before and after, beyond the edge of the frame. Often shot from an unexpected angle and unusually lit the audience are positioned as voyeurs.'

: 'I usually begin a painting with a beautiful natural landscape, but can't seem to leave it at that. Because of my need to make comment, I feel compelled to fill it up with depictions of absurd human activities and/or violent acts of revenge by Mother Nature. These depictions are full of symbolism, exaggeration and parody, much in the manner of political cartoons. I like to show men involved in their own tiny dramas while oblivious to greater and more powerful forces around them.'
Linus Ricard 2008-02-22 02:37:00 'Short moments of high emotional impact or deep reflection are what Linus captures. Still, beneath the impulses of his wandering youth, is a thinking man. A man who always places himself, and the souls he meets, in a larger context. The small individual in the big picture works as a red line.'
home of the vain | nikola tamindzic's daily photography site 2008-02-21 12:57:00 Born in Belgrade in 1973, Nikola Tamindzic established his reputation when he started shooting nightlife. Today his distinctive style has breathed much needed life into the somewhat jaded genre of nightlife photography
. 'His approach creates scenes which reflect a fascination with the theatrical, the extreme, and that which is differently beautiful; if art ultimately deals with our individual relationships to each other and to the world, the fundamentals of how we see each other, and how our bodies coexist with one another and the objects around us, then this is perfectly embodied in Nikola Tamindzic's portraiture, where the degree of intimacy established between the author and the subject - and the tensions such intimacy provokes - might be considered to be the true subject of his work.'
Pascal Dameester 2008-02-17 17:23:00 After working as a fashion and advertising photographer, Pascal
Demeester decided to start creating an unlimited series of conceptual surrealistic images which involved some fashion elements. "Even though these images include some fashion ingredients, with the surrealistic association such as objects / individuals / words/ landscapes rid of their utilitarian purpose, they would be perceived as a field where the viewer would be able to liberate its thoughts and let its spirit create as mental association as desired."
Clayton Brothers 2008-02-15 13:03:00 The Clayton
brothers, Rob and Christian are creating artworks together on an intuitive basis but seldom work on a canvas at the same time or discuss their projects until they are complete. They take turns inventing, adding to and editing each piece. Read more:Brothers
Michal Chelbin 2008-03-13 07:26:00 Michal Chelbin: 'My playground lies between the private and the public, between fiction and documentary. For me, the image is just the tip of the iceberg; it's the gate to a story waiting to be told and which I try to depict in an appealing yet troubling way. This story is about a life full of contradictions on the battle ground between fantasy and reality.' (via)
