So is this (1982) - Michael Snow

The film is a text in which each shot is a single word, tightly-framed white letters against a black background. Compared to Snow's recent epics ... it seems almost a throwaway but it's also the most satisfying film he's made in a decade" UBUWEB excerpt

Let There Be Light: Light Paintings and Sculptures

This intriguing installation 'Window Dressing' by Eric Staller forms one of an inspiring collation of light based architecture and sculpture that can be found here at Smashmagazine.

Robert Morris 'Box with the sound of its own making', 1961

"In January 1961, the sculptor Robert Morris created a piece of art by recording the sounds of himself building a box—the racket of the saw and hammer, the quieter moments of measurement and fitting. It took around three hours. When he was done, he put the tape recorder inside the box, pressed play, and sealed it. He called the piece "Box with the Sound of Its Own Making." It is an example of conceptual art and in particular it is reflexive in that it is self referential.

Coral Reef by Mike Nelson at the Tate Britain

Catch the installation at the Tate from 22.07.10. So unexpected and hidden is the work within the space, that the Tate website fails to acknowledge it's presence in its current exhibitions list. I had to ask the assistant at the Turner Prize book stall in order to find out where it was. I have no idea how long it will be there and so I urge you to go at your soonest convenience. There is a film on the Tate website where the artist explains the meaning behind the work

What Light (through yonder window breaks) Sarah Wickens 2009

I first saw this a year or two ago at the Royal College of Art animation show, it is a great idea well realised. unfortunately this is only an excerpt - if you get a chance to see the full movie it is highly recommended!

Critical Design - from the Critical Points Article in the FT

Go HERE to read a really interesting article from the FT about Critical Design
- A term by Dunne and Raby (Authors of the book 'the Secret Life of Electronic Objects') See link to their site in 'GOTO' The image above is off their 'Huggable Mushroom Cloud' - furniture designed to help us deal with our anxiety about the potential of Nuclear War.
A quote from the article: 'Critical design emerged as an idea about a decade ago and was named by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby as they attempted to use design to address aesthetics in what they called “a rapidly dematerialising, ubiquitous and intelligent environment”. The remarkable products they developed at the beginning included the Faraday Chair (which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection), a kind of sideboard that acts as a shield from the incessant communication with which we live as electronics begin to take over. The Faraday Chair becomes a refuge, a place to dream, like a child’s den constructed from chairs and blankets."

Jonas Dahlberg

Through the discussions with Sarah Weistner on the MA iSD at Chelsea I was reminded of the work of Jonas Dahlberg which I first saw at the CTRL-SPACE exhibition at ZKM (link to the right) in Karlsruhe.

The work is a play between the real and the imaginary and uses film and photography to immerse the viewer into the imaginary and speculative/propositional world of the architectural model. See more of his intriguing work here

Ceal Floyer, Light Switch 1992

Ceal Floyer’s installations are often inconspicuous or unassuming but make sophisticated use of a number of strategies from such art historical precedents as the readymades of Duchamp and conceptual and minimalist art of the 1960s. Light Switch, one of Floyer’s early works, is a colour photographic slide image of a light switch, projected to scale on a wall at the height one would expect to find a switch in a domestic setting.

Her work orientates around encouraging the viewer to consider something beyond what is presented to them.

Nanoengineers created blackest-ever black metal

Boston College Physicist Willie J. Padilla and a team from Boston College and Duke Univ. have nanoengineered a material that absorbs all the light that strikes it. How much more black could it be? None more black.

Architectural Furniture + Film

Some examples follow of how furniture could be from film in its broadest context.
I am developing a project called The chair that wasn't there, dealing with notions of furniture design and film/vision.
In this first example by Adelbert Ames (Jr?) We see something that looks like a chair, but only from one point of view. (image from Eye and Brain: The Psychology of seeing, by Richard Gregory, 1966)



There is also the possibility of looking within film for examples or inspiration for furniture. Here we see the outre furniture made by Liz Moore for Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
