I’ve been looking at the idea of functionality in architecture. I was told to make a 3D item of my 2D collage. Me, being the little shit that I am, decided to make a 2D image 3D.
.
This is a rendition of one thing becoming another. It’s a 2D collage which, by utilizing glasses, it becomes a 3D image. This has allowed me to look at an item and begin to think about how perceptions change, and by using a device, or tool, the function, or view of something can change.
.
It’s been a good discovery.
*note: 3D glasses are required to see something pop off the image.
Funny how it was created to say one thing and now, the tables have turned to say something completely different.
What’s amazing about this photograph (by David Shankbone, Mr. Coolest Last Name Ever) is the ‘Charging Bull’ sculpture was initially installed without the consent of the authorities. It’s guerilla art!
The rest of the Occupy Wall St. photos from ‘In Focus’ are equally fascinating, go check ‘em out. (And hey! There’s a rumor Radiohead might be performing for the protesters at 4pm. Woah.)
This is incredible. Click the link.

During the London Design Festival, The Victoria & Albert Museum invited us to intervene in any space we wanted within the Museum: the result is Textile Field an installation 30 meters long and 8 meters wide which takes over 240m sq of the floor of the famous Raphael Cartoons Gallery.
An invitation to lascivious reverie. Our intention is to propose a different, casual approach to freely experience what can be a quite intimidating environment, such as a museum. We conceived an expansive, coloured foam and textile piece with gentle inclinations to produce a sensual field on which to comfortably lounge while meditating on the surrounding Raphael Cartoons. Everyone can immerse into this temporary installation, for a minute, an hour or more, that is the idea. No efforts, no apprehension just contemplation.
