Only 4 days to go: the #Geometric Pattern #Book by Kapitza on #Kickstarter

29. Oktober 2013 von schall & rauch

If you’re good at reading geometric font you should probably support this follow-up project by Kapitza and donate for example £40 to get an Early Bird Book as soon as the book is fresh off the press. You might even decode the secret messages each of the pages might contain. Or write your own coded messages. Whooaaaa, the possibilities are truly endless. What if there is a colour code as well? Somebody please pass on this project to Sherlock! I […]

Documenting forty winks – The Ted Spagna Project: Sleep

5. September 2013 von schall & rauch

As a kid I used to wake up in the morning with my feet on my pillow and I’d always wonder how the heck I came to lie upside down and managed to crumple up the sheets like that without falling out of bed. Well, I never found out. I could have, if I had then known of Ted Spagna, who for more than a decade from 1975 till 1988 took photographs of people asleep and not just once but […]

Industrialisation, chemicals, nuclear energy, plastic bags, asbestos: each the result of ever-curious minds on a mission to find out what holds the world together in its inmost folds, a successful advancement at first and dangerous or even deadly in the long run. In contrast, Ursus Wehrli, a Swiss artist and performer, has found […]
