Stupid bloody printer / scanner / old mac.
After an hour and a half, i had almost managed to conclude my scanning of Vit 3D and then for no apparent reason all the images have frozen and it won't let me save them [insert a mad or sad face here!!!]
Thank god for Hospital podcasts. As it goes the familiar loudness of drum and bass is the only thing that has saved me from standing on my mac. Currently i am having a little catch up session of 5 podcasts i have neglected to listen to for unforeseen reasons over the last couple of months. I forgot how amazing they are. Yes yes yes. Second to save me is an amazing Russian hat i bought today for far too much money. I look weird but it makes me really really happy.
This so far, has been a week of music and moving occurrences. My mind feels in a strange state of play between being inspired and swimming like a goldfish bowl. Today i actually realized just how much second year will entail and all i know is i now wish there were more hours in the day. Argh!!!!!!
I have all the ideas i'm simply having trouble putting them down, but there's no time to have trouble. Buggery.
Oh well.
Back to the subject at hand. Here i have my long overdue Fabrica post.
This book is sensational! Possibley one of the most relevant publishings i have looked at in a long while [not to say that i haven't seen some amazing books, this one just floats my boat greatly]
The works are hosted by a multitude of 'emerging' artist all going under the Fabrica 'brand' as it were.
Although the works are more related to advertising and photography the approach is [in my mind] very fine art, as it pushes social, mental and design boundaries. My chosen pieces offer a range of connections to my own work in both their messages and their subject matter, playing with the idea of optical illusion, alternate realities, humor, irony and sometimes the grotesque.
Innovative and inspiring to me it may be, but the work has been known to be banned and i know most people who view the works will question the need for such brutality. But for me it's about looking beyond that aesthetic, using that to initially create something interesting but which holds a stronger philosophy inside.
I like the way in which something can become something else, it doesn't have to be loyal to it's original use or state and Fabrica take on board this notion of alternative purposes.
C'est Tres Bien!
