Visual Diary of Joachim Falck-Hansen

For a case of few, electronica is presented with nature (only), and I find that very interesting. I think, that to feel the relation you should listen to the song (below artwork). So I don´t know if this song is part of this album, but I found some belongers here: Oder der letze grun and aurora.  Ironically these still feel very industrial, whereas I will put my faith in the other tracks that have a ´broader specter of happenings´. Hot Chip is quite good, thanks to the vocals and lucid touches.

From what is possible to find on Dominik, he grew up by the Rhine in southern Germany, and is supposedly a park ranger in his spare time. He looks strikingly similar to Bruno, or shall I say it´s the other way around?

The History of the Internet as you haven´t seen before. It was more comprehensive than I expected. The creator force behind it is Melih Bilgil works out of Mainz, Germany, and telling from the view population this had he must be pretty busy these days. Good skills! It takes a lot of effort and dedication to deliver this.

History of the Internet is an animated documentary explaining the inventions from time-sharing to filesharing, from Arpanet to Internet.

Smashing Magazine has a small article about 60 brilliant typefaces for corporate design, of which these are a selection I thought stood particularily out. I think some of them have solid editorial strengths, and Beorcana specifically is a very interesting font, being a calligraphic sans meant for extended reading.

United Visual Artists are pioneers of sorts. These British experimentalists bring a lot of technicality on board projects, doing a lot of installation sets on very grand scales, and with cutting edge results. Seems like a very cool place to work! This project took place by Como lake. Stefano and I went there the other weekend, it´s quite nice. Would be fantastic to see a show like this!

“Using advanced 3-D cameras to capture the physicality of the dancers movement, this was then translated in real time to a monumental backdrop creating a simultaneous performance.”

i do love this moment. it is a smile so charming, that forces me to tilt and mirror back the playful look.

Could you say the world is not designed? If you could only film under water at such a far strethc I think you might find similar beautiful universes. Must watch in HD.

This is another curious case of great visual work by a British designer with a background in applied mathematics. I read from Simon Page´s blog that he has made a fastpaced entry into the design world, and appears to come out of frustration with Microsoft : “I first got in to design only a couple of year ago in 2007 – my first designs stem from creating corporate presentations in Microsoft Powerpoint and realising that it didn’t really offer enough flexibility. From this I soon went on to use Illustrator and InDesign to create much more impressive presentations – which is part of my full time job today which I love to do.”

I found two minimal but evocative, balanced posters that striked me as delightful clean design.

And by the way, this is by far the sound of the week: Crocketts_Theme_FPU Original

A retrospective into some night photography I was doing in Auckland, New Zealand back in 2006. This was the beginning of my love for film. I had attained a 12 mm lense acquired by londonxpress, which seduced me to try architectural and urban photography. I borrowed a variety of nikon analogue bodies to use it with via the university camera hub. It was interesting do go so wide for a while, particularily downtown Auckland, but there seems to always be more to get where the people are. That mindset pulled a little bit led me to K road, a very particular kiwi street and just try to photograph people.

(1st image)Street names are very classical British in the core of the city. The maori (native) names are much more interesting I think.

(2nd image) Used to live right to the right of this tower in the city core of Auckland. It displayed vivid colors interchangably through the year, adding diversity and character to the city. The view from there was quite the sight too. Every night I´d walk under someone jumping down from it.

(4th image) I Came to their attention too early to get a candid frame, but it was an interesting motif anyways, they were whispering something and later I had a chat with the guy with the hood. He knew the photography teacher of the third years, Deborah. She was a hero of mine, so that always made me curious of wheter they had collaborated on projects. Karangahape road, Auckland.

Marcos just posted this lovely snippet of his post master/forget the stress of the world trip. It´s so fucking beautiful!
