Christian Boltanski
Freaking prolific as all hell in my opinion. He deals with a lot of subject matter, but I find his pieces that deal with the holocaust to be the most poignent.

This is literally my favorite artist of all time. He is the inspiration for most of my work since I first encountered him.

I’ve never read any of Delany’s works… but I’m young, I have time.

dangerousdays:

Personal favorite authors: William Gibson - Cory Doctorow - Bruce Sterling - Samuel R. Delany - Neal Stephenson

Seriously half of my book collection alone consists of work by them.

Well if you’re familiar with or enjoy any of the above writers I would definitely check out Delany’s Nova. It was a pretty big influence on Gibson’s Neuromancer and is often considered to be a forerunner to the cyberpunk genre as it features humans interfacing with computer/tech devices. Honestly it’s just a great fucking book; to put it bluntly. Hopefully you’ll check it out and it’ll be your gateway drug into the wonderful world of Delany.

We would get along we’ll. Very well.

THE BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARES OF ZDZISLAW BEKSINSKI

Artist Zdzislaw Beksinski (24 February 1929 – 21 February 2005) was a renowned Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor. Beksiński executed his paintings and drawings either in what he called a ‘Baroque’ or a ‘Gothic’ manner. The first style is dominated by representation, with the best-known examples coming from his fantastic realism period when he painted disturbing images of a surrealistic, nightmarish environment. The second style is more abstract, being dominated by form, and is typified by Beksiński’s later paintings.

DANCE DRAWINGS

Artist Karolina Szymkiewicz - My favourite medium of expression is drawing, mostly in pencil. I work in lots of different formats with a range of different subjects.

My fascination with dance originated from my interest in human body as an art form. Over time this has focused into me being particularly intrigued with the movement of the body. With movement comes the concept of the ‘fugitive’ expression and subsequently there is an artistic need to develop a way to capture this, or at least an impression of the feeling it evokes and conveys. Dance, like music unless recorded, is a fleeting form of art and I find my challenge is to strive to immortalize its essence within a new medium. Read More →

huffingtonpost: Robert Buelteman is not your average nature...

huffingtonpost:

Robert Buelteman is not your average nature photographer. The California-based artist shocks flowers and plant life with thousands of electric volts, capturing an entrancing image of the energy streaming through them.

The photographer’s method has roots in Kirlian photography, a process from the 1930s that is also known as “electrography.” First Buelteman carves at his plant specimens with a scalpel until they are sheer and then places them atop a metal sheet in between Plexiglas, surrounded by liquid silicone. He then channels his inner mad-scientist and passes an electric current through the plant using a car battery. The electrons shoot from the metal and through the skeletons of the translucent plants and Buelteman catches them by painting with a fiber-optic cable. The cable captures the glowing strands of light pulsing through the plants, by emitting a beam of white light, about the size of a human hair. This image is then transferred onto film. The gas around the plants ionizes when the plant is shocked, spurring a mystical blue haze around the flowers.
