Geeky Posters and More!

Do you know how many suns does Tatooine hat? or in which city can you find the Daily Bugle? or who said: “The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?”.

If you know the answer to these questions, you should definitely check 2046 Design from the designer Justin Van Genderen. Even if you don’t know what I’m talking about you should also see his posters which would be the perfect Christmas present for that geek friend that everybody should have. Moreover, there is other non geek stuff which is also definitely worthy.

Conceptual Documentarism by Wolfgang Stahl

I just came across the website of photographer Wolfgang Stahl (Munich).

38 Conceptual Documentarism by Wolfgang Stahl

Stahl’s consistent visual language is one of vibrant colours, stark geometric subjects and sublime composition. Usually minimalistic and unadulerated, streetscapes are interspersed with deliberately placed civilizational debris, while people appear as transfigured products of society, gazing into a distant nullity.

33 Conceptual Documentarism by Wolfgang Stahl

Seemingly purposeless and discarded objects become testament of the dichotomy that, even in the absence of man, he and his artefacts wield influence over our collective conscious and our psychological strata. All of it reminding us that beneath the aseptic surface of life and the symmetry forced upon our ancestral past, lies more than the sheen of our skewed perceptions and desires: namely, our repressed or actualized struggles to become who we are.

Hope Gangloff

A time ago I asked Hope Gangloff to send me a hi-res scan of one of her paintings. She was very polite and promised to send it through. I still got a huge white wall in my living room so obviously she didn’t. However, she’s still one of my favourite artists and her work is just too good to be mad at her. You got a couple of days left to visit her exhibition at the Richard Heller Gallery in LA. So if you make it, please bring my scan.bild-2 Hope Gangloff

Inspired by Junk Mail

You think Spam eMail sucks?

 Inspired by Junk Mail

Not always:

The Spam architecture series by the Romanian Alex Dragulescuare are generated with a computer program, that translates various patterns, keywords and rhythms found in junk email into three-dimensional modeling gestures.

The Spam Poetry Institute turns spam into poetry by collecting and preserving the fine literature created by the world’s spammers and combining these words in a very powerful way. Or like they describe it: “A collection of desperate cries for attention from the marketing gutter”.

Also funny is Spam Radio that turns junk mail into a streaming audio broadcast.

Last but not least, one can find cartoons inspired by spam subject lines, too.

Found on Spiegel (unfortunately just in German)

Descriptive Verse

Picasso said that there’s nothing more difficult than a line. This guy does not seem to have problems with lines at all. Expressive, punchy: Rene Almanza.
