Okay, so the content for me is a bit creepy/religious, but visually, it’s really quite surreal. You can watch the video, complete with eery music, and see the way the type moves on the walls. This was an exhibit in January, 2012, in the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. The type is really cool, and the exhibit is beautiful, I just don’t like religious stuff much. mostly because I just plain don’t get it.
To quote the article on design boom, “Chinese contemporary artist tsang kin-wah is working on an ongoing project called ‘the seven seals.’ the series of seven digital video installations uses texts and computer technology to project tsang’s thoughts on various issues of the day. the body of work first began in 2009, and draws references from a variety of sources including the bible, judeo-christian eschatology, existentialism, metaphysics, politics etc., which attempt to articulate the complex situation of the world and the dilemmas that people are facing.” (the article is averse to capitalization apparently)
But that’s just because I’m trying to get things together for tomorrow before I turn out the lights! I am capable of doing nothing! I swear! just not right now! I’m not in denial I promise! (you try doing nothing for two whole minutes! it’s hard!) k goodnight guys. Sunday post marathon over.
This one is awesome too! Rain sounds! Though I won’t need it much this week what with all the tropical storms and such.
Yeah there isn’t a theme (category or source) to this post, just cool sh*t. (ps do you guys care when I swear? do you prefer $@*! or alphabet? I mean I don’t really care, and it’s not like I swear a lot).

Post Number 300 guys! Addicted to Design! I think it’s only fair to post about one of my greatest influences, Dieter Rams. On his 80th birthday a few months ago, Vitsoe released a pdf transcript of a speech of his, delivered in December 1976, which you can view/download here. It’s worth reading.
I’m going to go grab something to eat / charge my laptop. I’ll post more later!
