Bob Dylan is a welder and he makes big iron gates out of scrap metal. You can see for yourself at Castle Gallery in London for the next couple of months. Says Bob: "Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow. They can be closed but at the same time they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow. They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways there is no difference."
Combining famous historical paintings with images of 21st century technology, Art X Smart has transported them into another time. "The addition of smartphones onto masterpieces by artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh and Manet forces one to re-examine them and question the influence of technology on modern society. The works are intended to be humorous parodies of the way smartphones have dramatically changed today’s social interaction. The models in the classical paintings use the devices to play games, take pictures and listen to music, as though the action was of second nature to them, like it is for us."
Google Street View Hyperlapse is a web app that lets anyone make motion control time-lapses using Google Street View imagery. The app was created as an experiment by Toronto-based digital studio Teehan+Lax. To demonstrate the app they created this globetrotting time-lapse video entirely out of Google Street View imagery. Also, Google announced that Google Street View is now available in the canals and walkways of Venice, Italy.
Leonardo Da Vinci is well known as a man who invented many things on paper that never found their way into three-dimensional reality. Some would later prove to be unworkable in reality. Others would later prove to be potentially life-saving. But not all of Da Vinci's inventions were of a practical nature. Consider his plans for the viola organista, a keyboard instrument containing a system of revolving wheels, strings and other machinery to create a kind of cello that can be played with a keyboard. Never constructed in Da Vinci's lifetime, the inventor himself could only imagine what it would actually sound like. We no longer have to imagine that.
