If you have a plane which averaged US$24–30 million per unit [1] lying on a completely open space while the ship set sail, you would bind it security on the deck also, with multiple chains, as seen here on the deck of the USS Peleliu (LHA-5).

The works by Asian artists continue to delight. This metal sculpture titled “Pixelated Heaven” by Thai artist Tawatchai Puntusawasdi (b. 1971) references something old and something new.

 

The sculpture appears to be that of the roofs seen in many Buddhist temples in Thailand, while the pixelated image references that of modern age.

 

The pixel-art movement has gone on for a while now, and it is nice to see them in sculptural form. Crazyisgood.

+ 2001: MFA Sculpture, Silpakorn University, Bangkok

 

Tawatchai Puntusawasdi (b. 1971) pursued his art education at Chiangmai University (BFA), and then Silpakorn University (MFA). Based in Chiangmai, he produces architectural three-dimensional sculpture in hard-wood, slate, organic fibres, and various types of metal. In his Tilted series, ongoing since 2002, the artist plays with visual perception and physical balance to challenge audiences’ understanding of volume and space. In so doing, Tawatchai prods his viewers to consider philosophical and spiritual questions, his sculpture/installations translating complex ideas about uncertainty and transcendence into tangible form. His works also revolve around concepts of reality, so tangentially referencing Buddhist thinking. A student of the seminal Thai artist Montien Boonma (1953-2000), Tawatchai marshals formal elegance and grandiose scale to produce works that are simultaneously cerebral and visually seductive. Tawatchai has exhibited in Japan, the United States, Europe, Australia, Taiwan, and wider Southeast Asia. He has participated in both the Venice and Sydney Biennales and has twice been awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

100% Acrylic Art Guards

 

"I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart.

 

Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously."

  

Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.

 

Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.

 

Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.

 

Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.

 

Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)

www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html

 

The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.

 

Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.

 

The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Thank You for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.

 

Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam

Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham

 

Artist Statement

"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

Morgan Haquenne, the gallery rep from Baronian_Francey spoke to See-ming Lee about Tony Oursler's mixed media installation: 20 Franc at The Armory Show 2010, an international art fair for contemporary art held in New York City every year.

 

Tony Oursler

20 Franc

Mixed media

2010

 

Tony Oursler est né en 1957 à New York, où il vit et travaille actuellement. Il est reconnu comme lun des précurseurs de lart vidéo. Dès ses premières œuvres, cest la vidéo qui va lui servir de catalyseur pour la création dun univers totalement singulier, car elle représente pour lui lespace daccès immédiat à la culture populaire.

 

Il exploitera jusquà aujourdhui loutil vidéo et surtout celui de la projection quil utilise notamment avec des images de corps ou fragments de corps sur des sphères suspendues, ou des poupées posées sur le sol. Il nous transporte dans des univers spectraux posant la question de lhumain et du non-humain et tentant de reproduire les émotions de lhomme face à la monstruosité ou à linanimé.

 

Le son et les textes occupent une place de première importance dans son travail quant à limpact quils suscitent sur le spectateur. Il fait sortir le médium vidéo de son état hypnotique en le retirant de lespace plat du moniteur pour le réinstaller à lintérieur du monde.

 

Dans lunivers dOursler rien ne peut échapper au visible, (le bruit et la lumière font partie intégrante des dispositifs). Limage est omniprésente, sa projection constitue lœuvre. Le spectateur est placé devant lhégémonie de lœil et du visuel. Les multiples acteurs virtuels dOursler délivrent un message, tout en entravant le sens, pour écrire une parabole de la non- communication.

Cependant, limportant pour lui nest pas la vidéo en elle-même mais plutôt sa projection sur un support 3D. Il crée des univers qui peuvent paraître drôles au premier abord et qui se révèlent peu à peu lourds de sens.

 

Difficile de rester indifférent au monde de Tony Oursler tant la mise en scène est saisissante. Dailleurs le spectateur fait partie intégrante des dispositifs. Passant entre les projections il devient un instant écran, modifiant lœuvre par sa présence. Le monde que donne à voir Tony Oursler est une « société du spectacle », dans laquelle il est difficile de trouver sa place, où la communication est omniprésente sans que lon puisse sentendre. On peut penser à une déambulation de brouhahas audiovisuels, un univers entre architecture et art, dispositif et vidéo.

 

Du 24 octobre 2009 au 17 janvier 2010, il bénéficiera dune rétrospective au Kunsthaus Bregenz en Autriche

 

Ses œuvres sont présentes dans les collections de nombreux musées, comme le Musée dArt Moderne Georges Pompidou à Paris, du MOCA à Chicago, du MoMA à New York, de la Tate Gallery à Londres,

Here is another sculpture of “Goni” by Indonesian artist Samsul Arifin (b. 1979) seen earlier [1]. According to the gallery, Goni is quite well known in Indonesia, though this is the first time they are showing his work in the international stage.

 

When I first these works, I was reminded of Gumby [2], the green clay humanoid character created and modelled by Art Clokey.

 

Titled “Pembajak Seni Rupa” or “Art hijackers” in English, Goni is seen here with artist tools ready to take on the world.

# Nadi Gallery

Based in Jakarta, Nadi Gallery is an art gallery founded by Biantoro Santoso, a young collector of Indonesian art. The Indonesian word nadi means "aorta", "artery", "vein" that evokes the idea of signaling pulsation. Without pulsation, the aorta soon looses its significance for life. As the name indicates, the Gallery's principal programs of exhibitions have been aspiring to present the pulses of recent developments in contemporary art in Indonesia.

2. Gumby is a green clay humanoid character created and modeled by Art Clokey, who also created Davey and Goliath. Gumby has been the subject of a 233-episode series of American television as well as a feature-length film and other media. Since the original series' run, he has become well known as an example of stop motion clay animation and an influential cultural icon, spawning many tributes and parodies, including a video game and toys. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumby

Hong Kong policemen (and policewomen) stood by in front of the Consulate General of United States of America before the rally made their way to the consulate. Journalists from different international public media outlets were all wrangling to try to find a good spot at the site.

 

The US consulate in Hong Kong is situated on a hill with a very narrow side street (Garden Road) thus making it hard to find a good spot to photograph.

 

Also, unlike the US, there is no law in Hong Kong which states that it is illegal to photograph the police, so policemen in Hong Kong could only give an annoyed glance at photographers without being able to bully the photographers.

 

(Stitched together with nine 7D full res RAW captures with the 100-400. As usual the two ingredients which dominate all public events regardless of nation are: photographers + police, my two favorite subjects)

A woman sits on top of a strange planet formed by organic found objects and strange landscape. Inside a hole, a demanding person wills with a commanding voice. A tiny figure was seen working near the surface.

 

This new video installation by Tony Oursler is so WTF funny that I am mostly amused by how the “art world people” look at it with a “serious straight face”.

 

The “planet” is situated on top of a steel stand, whereas the strange gadget in the background is a mini DLP video projector which projects video directly on top of the sculpture. It is wacky and crazy. Just the type of work for me.

 

See also Oursler’s previous video projection work at www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/4422162363/ and vimeo.com/10068688 (with video interview).

Lens caps are for pussies. I don’t use them but I always use my lens hoods.

 

The lens hoods are functional objects. For one, they shield the rain and stray lights entering the lens. For another, it allows me to store my camera in my camera bag without a lens cap while providing enough space between the lens and the bag.

 

When I go out and shoot I often see people putting the hood the wrong way—well if you put it the other way around it does nothing except obstruct your control of the lens. I see that often enough that I wonder if Canon should perhaps put something in the instruction manuals so people will know why it was included in the first place.

 

Pictured is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM with their lens hood. It is photographed with the Canon EOS M with the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM. And as you can see, this EF-M prime is not too shabby in doing macro photography. On the far end though the chromatic aberration is quite noticeable, however, so it definitely is not an ideal lens—but you definitely cannot beat its weight.

At the Canon iSQUARE Showroom located on the 20th floor at iSQUARE in Hong Kong, a large rotating display case showcases all of the current EF lenses in the current Canon line up.

 

The sales people were too busy helping other customers so I could not ask if I can take a photo. I have gotten into trouble many times photographing shop displays in Hong Kong so I photographed this rather swiftly with the EOS M, but next time I visit to pick up my 7D currently in repair I will ask to see if I can “test out my camera” and do a better shot of this.

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.

 

Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam

Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham

 

Artist Statement

"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

The rush hour metro traffic in Hong Kong. World Bank recorded the population in Hong Kong to be around 7 million in 2011. Now in 2013 it is trending towards 8 million.

 

Someone commented on SML Facebook that it is interesting to see that the platforms in Hong Kong have an inner door. Aside from keeping the A/C inside, they serve a safety function also—keeping the crowd from falling into to the tracks.

 

Rush hour in Hong Kong is so crowdy that often you wait in line for multiple trains to come before you can get on the train. Thankfully, MTR in Hong Kong are always on time and very efficient. Usually the trains are only 2 minutes apart—likely timed to be the shortest possible time for safety.

 

I am claustrophobic so you can see why I don’t live in downtown urban area. It is so crowdy that no one has the bandwidth for all the mobile devices either.

Tai Wai Station is an interchange station on the East Rail Line and the Ma On Shan Line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. The station was originally opened in 1983 as an intermediate station of East Rail Line. In 2001, the station underwent expansion and construction ended in September 2004. The new concourse part was opened at first in the same month. Since 21 December 2004, the station has served as the terminus of the Ma On Shan Line, as well as the interchange station between these two lines. [1].

 

Pictured is the super long escalator which leads passengers from the ground station level to the platform. To cope with large amount of passenger traffic, most escalators go up only, and the exit going down are usually in the forms of staircases.

 

I usually try to leave photographs in colors when they work. Black and white photography does have its charms, but sometimes the colors add quite a bit.

Hundreds of protestors rally outside the Central Government Offices of Hong Kong yesterday, blowing whistles and shouting to support Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who revealed to the public about the PRISM electronic surveillance program employed by the United States.

 

Visit gigapan.com/gigapans/132481 to see every individual faces in detail interactively.

 

# Workflow

 

I wish to show both the protestors in detail as well as the amount of public media surrounding them, so using my Canon EOS 6D affixed with the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and photographed handheld at 400 mm.

 

All in all, 73 RAW images were stitched together inside Autopano Giga 3.0 and output as Photoshop Large Document Format (PSB). Inside Photoshop I then create a vector mask to remove the edges. Since this was shot handheld, it was fairly difficult for me to make sure that I have had all the shots which I wanted.

 

I have been thinking of getting a robotic panoramic head for a while now but have not made a final decision between Gigapan EPIC Pro vs the Kolor Panogear. Both are fairly expensive. The other option I looked at as the Manfrotto pano head but since it was almost the same price as the robotic heads I thought that it makes more sense to go with robotics.

Fairytale Fashion Show

2010-02-24

7pm - 9pm

Eyebeam

 

Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJ’s create music from hacked video game consoles.

Central Plaza (中環廣場) is a 78-storey, 374 m (1,227 ft) skyscraper completed in August 1995. Unlike what the name may have suggested, it is not located in Central by Wan Chai (灣仔), and is currently the third tallest architecture in Hong Kong after ICC and IFC [1, 2].

 

Designed by Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects & Engineers (HK) Ltd, the building was design to be in triangular shape in order to allow 20% more office area to enjoy the harbour view as compared with a square or rectangular shaped buildings.

 

As with the HKCEC next door (pictured at the lower left corner), the Central Plaza was built on reclaimed land. And as you can see, even more construction is taking place in the land in front of it—though exactly what is unclear at this point.

 

Stitched using 15 full resolution RAW captures with the 6D and 100-400 in order to achieve a high enough resolution for the building as well as minimise geometric distortions.

Most of the non-L lenses from Canon is pretty bad, but the 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is one exception. As a prime lens, its sharpness is second to none. The large aperture makes it perfect for portrait shooting. Its ability to focus at 0.38 m distance makes it great for macro photography. All these and it is super light. So I am taking it with me on the EOS M for a run around town tonight.

 

In this particular config it does look kind of phallic though :)

The Clock Tower (尖沙咀鐘樓) in Tsim Sha Tsui, also known as Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (前九廣鐵路鐘樓) is the only remaining artifact from the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR, now bought by MTR). Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower stands 44m tall and is situated right next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre [1].

 

I photographed this mainly to see if it was actually possible to use the 100-400 at night, and amazingly it was with the 6D—seriously crazyisgood. The IS on this lens is quite powerful as the exposure was 400mm, 1/80 sec, f/5.6 at ISO 12800. For lenses without IS shooting at 1/80 sec at 400mm would be impossible.

 

Very soon in the future not a single human would understand the concept of a “fast lens” vs a “slow glass” as technology advances.

A 1953 VW Beetle Formed into a Perfect Sphere

 

This work is by Indonesian artist Ichwan Noor (b. 1963), an artist born in Jakarta and studied at the Indonesian Art Institute, Yogyakarta. He got his idea of this piece from his personal perception that objects are products of a transportation culture, which induced hints and signs of spiritual emotion.

Then I do the same for the water area. Note that at this point this image is very similar to by 0EV capture—no surprises there. This was what I saw when I photographed this photo. I do HDR not for effect, but just so that I can have some details on the shadow area.

  

At this point you see that really there is not much color to this scene. In fact, they stand to distract the overall image, so I removed it. Here since I have been working in Lab mode I just quickly removed the color channels or just removed the color saturation. If I work with images filled with color I usually would use the channel mixer in RGB mode or use the black and white tweaking modules inside Lightroom. But as you can see there is not much color in this image to start with so I can simply just remove the color saturation.

  

After importing back into Lightroom, I tweak things further as I feel that I can still get some more details in the shadow area. If I were inside Photoshop I would do a image-wide shadows/highlights tweak but since Lightroom version 4 there is this new Clarity parameter which works very well in manipulating local contrast so I used it.

  

And that’s it. But remember, every single image is different. This is not a recipes. There are no rules. Now go have some fun!

  

Cheers.

I went to the Ma On Shan Promenade originally to photograph birds, but I couldn’t find any. Instead, crew teams from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU 香港城市大學) were seen rowing a variety of boats in Tolo Harbour.

 

Some of their tshirts said STGRC but I could not find anything under those designator, but my guess is that it is some kind of rowing club name in Hong Kong as that name does show up on PDF documents on the Hong Kong, China Rowing Association (中國香港賽艇協會) server [1].

I have had shark’s fins many times now but I have never had 斑翅 garoupa fins. The two should not really be compared as they are technically different, but part of the it has the texture of shark’s fins which is quite wonderful.

 

Pictured is how the dish is served at 翠亨邨 Tsui Hang Village, a cantonese restaurant at the 香港中環新世界大廈 New World Tower in Central, Hong Kong.

 

The braised garoupa fins come with the tail of the garoupa. Served with Chinese cabbage in a sweet succulent sauce. Super yum. Highly recommended.

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.

 

Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam

Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham

 

Artist Statement

"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

Almost all buildings at the PolyU campus features red brick facades with very geometric compositions. I have passed by it many times but this is the first time I have been inside, and it was actually a lot nicer than I had expected.

 

Although the buildings officially have a name (usually in reference to their donors), they are usually referenced by students and their staff via their “core” name—a letter from the English alphabet for speedy way finding.

 

Pictured is the intersection between two buildings: Anita Chan Lai Ling Building (陳麗玲樓 Core P) and the Pao Yue-Kong Library (包玉剛圖書館 Core L).
