Lego Posters
This is a series of Lego posters developed a few years ago with no idea who produced them.

But now here comes a new one which is just as imaginative and shows the power of Lego as an imagination builder.

This is a new blog just to get the new year up and running

This is the original album cover for Sgt Pepper (The Beatles). It was designed by odd design agency 'The Fool' and was rejected by the band in favour of the Peter Blake work.

The Light Field Camera

The Light Field Camera

This is amazing, a new way of taking photographs where focusing can be done after the image has been captured. No I don't know how it works either.

The very first light fields were captured at Stanford University over 15 years ago. The most advanced light field research required a roomful of cameras tethered to a supercomputer. Today, Lytro completes the job of taking light fields out of the research lab and making them available for everyone, in the form of the world’s first Lytro Light Field Camera.

Lytro lets you take pictures like never before. Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.

Guy Laramee

For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. Of these works he says:

"So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are".

Laramee’s next show will be in April 2012 at the Galerie d’Art d’Outremont in Montreal.

Haluk Akakce Artist

This is a Turkish and American Artist Haluk Akakce who works in a range of different media. Above is titled 'Come Dance With Me'. It is a video animation first seen in the Summer at the Tate in Liverpool. stunning work but youi have to see it to aprieciate it. It is like a model of a building and all the panels move and flow, bit like a dance.

More traditional work by Haluk Akakce, title unknown.
