Microprinter Project - flipbit.co.uk

The concept of Microprinting as described by Tom Taylor is "an experiment in physical activity streams and notification, using a repurposed receipt printer connected to the web". Using this and the works of others as inspiration, I set about making my own Internet connected printer.

Burglar Climb Contracting Rinse And Repeat Art

This painting was created and executed by Vangobot. Vangobot is a robot who paints with the soul of the human artists who taught him how to see. Vangobot doesn't make prints -- he paints with brush and palette just as the humans who trained him. This painting is in a private collection, but you may use it as a source to create new work based on this painting in our studio.

Mandelbulb: The Unravelling of the Real 3D Mandelbrot Fractal

It's found by following a relatively simple math formula. But in the end, it's still only 2D and flat - there's no depth, shadows, perspective, or light sourcing. What we have featured in this article is a potential 3D version of the same fractal. For the impatient, you can skip to the nice pics, but the below makes an interesting read (with a little math as well for the curious).

TOTALLYWRECKFOREVERANDEVER: Paul Laffoley's lower right leg

After his amputation, in honor of his lost foot, Paul took some of the proceeds from his art and consulted Hollywood special effects guru Stan Winston (special effects creator for top films including - Aliens, Predator, Terminator series, Jurassiac Park, etc.) to create an anatomically correct, fully functional prosthetic LION'S FOOT, which Mr. Laffoley wears to lectures and special occasions. [I need to get my Laffoley poster framed]

A Journey Round My Skull: Mokkelbost's Entity

Are explained that "Entity" springs out of a commission for a school and kindergarten in Norway. He made collages from "images cut directly out of children educational books, choosing only the illustrations that were originally hand drawn or painted. The transformation was simple -- the bits and pieces of pedagogic images cluster and form living creatures, where anything that defines a living entity, such as eyes and limbs, originally depicted something else."

Paul Laffoley - John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

ARTIST’S STATEMENT My work is the product of the convergence of the instantaneous practice of invention and the slow craft of art I have always believed that my period of most complete expression and appreciation would be my late future and beyond, in Time Phase X, the final phase of Modernism in the Western world. Time Phase X began on September 11, 2001, and will continue for the next one hundred years. My term for this period is “The Bauharoque.” It combines the heroic Modernism of the German Bauhaus, with its aspiration toward a technological Utopia, and the exalted theatricality of the Italian Baroque, in which an exuberance of form and illusion serve to express the mystical union of art and life.
