Rose Wong

Been enjoying the works of Rose Wong - the illustrated pieces often have a cute vibe to them that is often undercut with a little bit of melancholy. Pieces like this are both adorable and seem to speak to being alone while being together.

Or maybe I'm just really overreaching. There are also adorable hamburger animations and sketchbooks featuring egg dresses.

Offworld Returns?

posted March 11, 2015 #

When did Offworld relaunch? I just caught a tweet from Graham Lineham heralding it's return but I've no idea if it's actually recent or not. Regardless, it's re-emergence is irrelevant because it's there now. If you're interested in reading longer form articles about artistic, independent, video games - steer your browser towards articles about Ladies of History in strategy games, Twin Peaks re-emergence in videogames or Clickhole's Adventure Game.

Great new photos from Maryanne Ventrice of Mount Sharp. If you still haven't heard Weird Fears, you're only hurting yourself.

foundsoundscape

posted March 10, 2015 #

The foundsoundscape project from Janek Schaefer combines field recordings from over 100 different artists into a 24-hour streaming experience. At any given point you're hearing three different layers of the world - sometimes four as Schaefer has a live microphone from his studio into the mix as well. It is, surprisingly, the opposite of cacophonous. The writeup on the project lends some wonderful insight into its creation:

Foundsoundscape was inspired by the very first Digital Radio station in the UK, that simply played a recording of a rural location. Radio you could just leave running to add a peaceful ambience to your environment indoors. It heralded a new media paradigm, as digital broadcasting offered more capacity than requred for the first time, and that space needed filling. At the same time on TV, Channel 4 was broadcasting Big Brother live 24hours, and at night I loved to tune-in my analogue TV sets all over the house, and the shed, so I could hear the housemates gently sleeping as I worked through the night. Since then infomercials, and gambling TV have taken over, and I greatly miss that sense of real-time space, that does not demand your attention. This then just quietly underscores your environment, by creating new ones from others.

My hope is that others will find foundsoundscape enjoyable and leave it running all day & all night long, just like a radio! It's as simple as that, with one click. A salute to serendipity and shared sonic space. Bookmark it. Play it in rooms around the house. Share it . . Take a break . . .

The list of contributing artists is long but you'll likely see some names in there you recognize - i.e. Brian Eno.

It is surprisingly pleasant... put it in your headphones. via Disquiet.

Been diving into the works of Polish artist Olaf Brzeski and finding a plethora of pieces that manage to juggle that fine line between vaguely disturbing and childlike amusement. Granted, it's not a combo that you encounter often but it's great when it works.

Dive into more via this retrospective, this Raster gallery or via Tumblr.

There's a lot of fashion going on at Dusen Dusen that is clearly not for me but the blog has an undeniable top notch imagery with some vibrant colors, patterns and overall joyous feelings.
