First designed for the Red Bull Music Academy Awards in '08.. this is a totally incredible INTERACTIVE art installation..

what I love most about this is not just the flashyness of it all ... but it's aim at creating friendly human experiences.. through technology. ..

love it..

Kangaroo Valley ...

Designers' Alexander Michaels' House in the south of Sydney is truly amazing... in appreciation for simplicity and practicality of building materials (concrete, galvanized steel, glass, and timber).. the house is a beautiful showcase of architectural tectonics ..

Otto ..

Ok,

So this movie was recently recommended to me: Otto; or Up with Dead People..

It was said that the movie was (and I quote) 'oddly poetic, showcasing incredible music, and spectacular clothes'..

In my head I was like: 'um it's a gay zombie movie are you sure'...

Then I realized that Bruce LaBruce wrote and directed the movie.. this immediately sparked my interest as I am a total fan of Mr. Labruce..

For those of you that don't know him.. he is a writer, director, photographer, and film-maker.. and a self proclaimed underground 'gay pornographer'..
he collaborates with Vice, Nerve, and Blackbook...

he's also done some interesting films with very homo-erotic undertones: The Rasberry Reich, Skin Flick, (ok, well maybe not undertones)..

This immediately caught my attention as I have seen some of his work before and yes, I happen to find some of it very clever and intriguing ..

As I started to find out more about the film I learned that the Costume Designer was none other that Rick Owens..

I was sold.. it went on my netflix queue immediately..

I sat with my BFF and curiously put on the movie...

we were..

to say the least...

awesomely surprised..

Music by CocoRosie .... Antony and the Johnsons amongst others

and the outfits

amazing..
The Jackets.. the pants... the shoes...
spectacular..

take a closer look....



and the trailer....

now remember it's a gay film.. gay sex and all .. so be forewarned..



love it..

rent it ..

let me know what you think ..

Elevator Music ...

A lot of people hate elevators.. they're small, confined spaces, typically boring, they cause claustrophobia, etc etc

A recent installation in at the Design/Art Fair in Verona Italy: Sele-Next Floor turns the elevator into a transporter into a dream like journey. It becomes a truly interactive experience as it is very visual and sensory...

New World..

As I have been lucky enough to witness the beginning of what is sure to be a fascinating Architectural Work of Art.. I have decided to finally write about it and share it with you guys..

I am talking about the New .. and First.. Frank Gehry Building in Florida.. The New World Symphony Building.. right smack in the middle of South Beach and adjacent to the ever so popular Lincoln Road... It is sure to become a staple and true landmark of Miami.

This project has several aspects that make it incredibly interesting... For one it is going to house what I believe to be some of the most talented young classical musicians in the United States right now... and yes I guess you could say I am a bit biased for obvious reasons.. but the truth is.. these guys are incredible.. their talent and potential is incalculable. In this new building not only are they going to be able to expand their musical talents on a personal level.. but the amazing programs and exposure to music that they will offer the general public will be incredible..



The building is not costing much.. only $150 million dollars and it will offer a 700-foot concert hall, rehearsal rooms, office space, and state-of-the-art technical and media facilities — including equipment for giving and receiving coaching sessions, conferences and even performances over the Internet. One face of the proposed building is designed to suggest a proscenium arch, and there will be a sizable park just alongside. It will also have a rooftop garden/park that as much as I can tell from the model and plan will be awesome..

I'm super excited about this building, and not only because one of my favorite architects is responsible for the design..
