L’artiste James Hopkins aime assembler et modifier les objets du quotidien et de la culture populaire. En utilisant la perspective, il parvient à nous offrir des sculptures de personnages fictifs connus de tous, tels que les Simpsons ou encore Mickey. Plus d’exemples dans la suite.

pbCore77:/b What do you do exactly?/p
pbStewart Smith:/b I’m a graphic designer, programmer, and artist. At the beginning of the year I relocated from New York to London. I run my own little shop called a href=”http://stewdio.org”Stewdio/a and share work space with architect a href=”http://archipelago-architects.co.uk”James Payne/a and fellow designer / coder / artist a href=”http://scratchdisk.com”Juuml;rg Lehni/a./p
pbC77:/b What are you working on right now?/p
pbSS:/b I’ve got three kettles on the stove. The first is a low-fi, computer-generated music video for a href=”http://tomashalberstad.com”Tomas Halberstad/a, a musician in Gothenburg, Sweden. The second is a data visualization piece for SFMoMA’s upcoming exhibition a href=”http://sfmoma.org/exhibitions/406″”How Wine Became Modern”/a that opens in November. Finallymdash;and a bit further down the roadmdash;is a data viz piece for an exhibition titled a href=”http://globalartmuseum.de””Global Art and the Museum”/a that will open at ZKM in Germany next summer. The latter two are collaborations with musician / engineer / architect a href=”http://warning-office.org”Robert Gerard Pietrusko/a. Meanwhile I’ve also become very excited about Juuml;rg’s a href=”http://scriptographer.org””Scriptographer”/a tool for Illustrator. He and I have just been talking about how we might channel that enthusiasm./p

pbC77:/b Describe your toolset./p
pbSS:/b I’m handcuffed to my MacBook Pro. From the moment I wake up to lights-out I’ve got it open, grinding away on something. Email and video chat take up an appalling slice of my daymdash;coordinating projects and syncing up with collaborators in various locations. Although I’m up early I usually arrive at the studio late because by morning coffee I’m already hooked into solving some aspect of a project. Sometimes it’s difficult to push things aside long enough to put myself together and walk over to the studio space. /p
pRight now my one-two software combination is TextMate plus Terminal. Recently I tried to answer this question about what tools I use but found myself failing miserably. I code quite a bit, but I’m increasingly interested in writing. There’s an oft neglected connection between the two. Writing good source code is like writing poetry. One wants to be concise but also expressive.

pTorino-based designer Danilo Ragona combined his fascination with outdoors sports, his design skills and experience (he worked at Pininfarina Extra), and his wheelchair bound condition into something truly unique: a company that emphasises the fun, excitement and pleasure of a sportsy, active and fully autonomous life for “wheelchaired” people./p
pHis personisable wheelchairs are not only multifunctional and innovative but also great looking design objects./p

 | Before you start questioning my knack for keeping up with the latest styles and trends, you’ll need to re-think your ideas on tie-dye. While tie-dye used to conjure up images of brightly colored bursts on white tees (like the kind you made at the after-school program in elementary school) and is generally linked to hippie attire and reserved for those still stuck in the 60’s and 70’s (in both mindset and style), tie-dye as of late has gotten a modern make-over. Using an edgier or more wearable color palette, as well as differing patterns and shapes, modern day tie-dye is now more chic and stylish than tacky and dated. Whether it’s as a water-color like print on a fluid tank, or as a unique and trendy way to add interest and texture to a hot pair of jeans or leggings, there’s no denying that tie-dye is popping up everywhere … and it’s staying! The new, made-over tie-dye designs are youthful, versatile and totally fashionable and soon, over-sized rainbow tie-dye shirts will just be a thing of fashion-faux-pas nightmares. Want to take a look at the new and improved tie-dye and incorporate it into your closet? Click on the slideshow to see some of my favorite modern tie-dye pieces! |
