Debra Broz’s Kitschy ‘Superorganisms’ Are Both Familiar and Strange

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=RqrhOlF9X-U

In a practice she describes as “ceramic collage,” Debra Broz delves into the world of secondhand decor and kitsch. The Seattle-based artist’s quirky sculptures are made from found figurines, which she cuts and reconfigures into playful hybrid forms. “A lot of times when I look at them, I think about if they were alive, how would they move and how would they operate?” Broz tells Seattle Channel.

In her ongoing series Superorganisms, the artist creates three-dimensional assemblages that toy with the boundary between familiarity and the uncanny. “It’s really important to me that you look at it and your first thought...

Импликация, следствие и условия

Никита Прокопов написал, что импликация — нифига не интуитивная штука, и поэтому её нет в языках программирования. И действительно: там в комментариях начался обмен мнениями, который хорошо иллюстрирует неинтуитивность. И мне сразу захотелось написать этот пост.

Импликация — это логическая операция вида «A → B». Она истинна во всех случаях кроме одного: когда A истинно, а B ложно. Можно оценить по таблице истинности:

Saman and Sasan Oskouei’s Sculptures Puncture the Weight of Everyday Objects

What good is a ladder without structural integrity? Artist brothers Saman and Sasan Oskouei consider this question in The Weight of Less, an ongoing series of pocked wooden sculptures. From a school desk to a door to an industrial pallet, each humble item is punctured with irregular yet cohesive holes, rendering their former functions impractical.

“As layers are removed, the objects lose their original purpose while gaining a new presence,” the artists tell Colossal. “The carved spaces expose hidden rhythms, patterns, and relationships within the material, allowing absence to become an active part of the work.”

The brothers are longtime collaborators and...

Innovation Endeavors

Ten years after building the original identity, it was time to let the brand catch up to the firm Innovation Endeavors has become.

What will the future stadium look like?

For our Future Stadium series, we asked nine of the world's top stadium architects to predict the biggest shift in stadium design over the next 10 years.

To determine how stadium design will shift over the next decade, we asked each of the nine architects: "what will stadiums look like in the next 10 years and beyond?"

Rather than focusing on style or form, almost all the architects focused on what lies around a stadium – the red-hot trend of sports mixed-use districts, which we explored in depth earlier in the series.

The architects were also interested in what goes into a stadium,...

A Security Camera Designed to Indicate When It's Not Watching (You)

Home security cameras are intended to record intruders, not the homeowners themselves. It's creepy to think that someone could hack into them to observe you, but that's the trade-off these products require.

One departure is this Smart Camera 4 Zoom by Xiaomi.

It has two lenses that resemble eyes; one is an 8 MP ultra-wide and the other a 5 MP telephoto, so it can cover an entire room but still zoom in on people. 

The motion-tracking camera can pan and tilt.

Most notably, the camera has been designed...

The Era of Contradiction Materializes in Genesis Belanger’s Uncanny Sculptures

How do we distinguish between the artificial and the real? And perhaps more importantly, why should we? Genesis Belanger makes the tension and anxiety that arise from these questions tangible as she lures viewers into an unsettling world.

Known for her ceramic works depicting an uncanny vision of domestic life, Belanger often teases out the dynamic relationships between discomfort, consumption, and capitalism. New pieces like “Dreams of the Luddite” nod to our collective malaise over the ubiquity of technology, portraying a nostalgic world just out of reach. “Care-taken” captures a similarly contemporary dilemma, as it presents a bathroom cabinet with medicines...
