Rescue Bubble, 2009
Tomer Diamant - Toronto, Canada
Sculpture
As the humble foot soldiers of disposable infrastructure, traffic pylons solicit an indifferent compliance in our daily navigations of the city. Here however, hundreds are amassed into a single glowing beacon of urgent concern.
On the verge of massive stimulus spending, governments are heralding fast-track infrastructure investment as the panacea for current economic woes. Speculative conditions that emerge under such massive spending can stifle rather than foster creative change. With schedules compressed to feed a shovel-ready hunger, unsustainable models can be entrenched rather than challenged.
This installation represents an attempt to link imagery from the world of Sci-Fi; that of the solitary, ominous alien vanguard with our current speculative economic reality in order to crystallize a feeling of a looming presence; a foreign, spore-like organism at once familiar and foreign, promising and dangerous.
Has the Rescue Bubble emerged to save our world or devour us all?

This past weekend, my local photoclub held a workshop, one of the activities available was macrophotography of water drops.
The gentleman who loaned me his macro lens and was teaching me the art kept trying to get me to focus on the droplets. But the obsessive search for the perfect combination of composition of droplets, color, and bokeh did nothing for me... What kept catching my attention was trying to capture the ephemeral images floating in the droplets.
These bubbles contain random things that put a smile on my face - in no particular order and in no way the end all.
Being entirely honest, this isn't exactly what I wanted it to turn out like. Maybe I'll try my hand at it again later on :)
I wanted to make something based on what Elaine Duigenan was talking about but different so that it wouldn't be completely copying. I think this image complies with the brief she has set out on he vle ;)
...so this week I thought of cheating on the description of how the image was done... I've decided to make a video...
but after a while a realization hit me - it probably would have been easier to just write it out!
either way here's the link:
