Decorer

Decorer

Well, nice to see that fashions in Tokyo are keeping up with the reputations that suround it. Looks like Harajuku, that would make sense as that is where you find all the supporters of the latest fashion… craze (or is is affliction?) If you ever visit Tokyo make sure you stop by Harajuku on a Sunday so you can see the locals get all weird.

In the past, this style was called “ shinorer ” because Japan ese talent, “ Tomoe Shinohara ” wear like this. After that, this fasion trend disappear at onece. But recently this fasion start to rampant again as “ Decorer ” .
At first, their way of decoration is very slight, subtlety and casually. But now their decoration technique go to extreme. Yes, they are really decorer !

Cinema Redux

Pretty cool, like an storyboad after the fact. Pretty cleaver idea, I’d like to see a larger version of this, say 80×60 pixels on a big poster.

This explores the idea of distilling a whole film down to one single image. Using eight of my favourite films from eight of my most admired directors including Sidney Lumet, Francis Ford Coppola and John Boorman, each film is processed through a Java program written with the processing environment. This small piece of software samples a movie every second and generates an 8 x 6 pixel image of the frame at that moment in time. It does this for the entire film, with each row representing one minute of film time

Guardrobo

“I think the “D” in Guardrobo D1 stands for Davros.”
-Kevin

In an idea straight out of science fiction, robots could soon begin patrolling Japanese offices, shopping malls and banks to keep them safe from intruders. Equipped with a camera and sensors, the “Guardrobo D1,” developed by Japanese security firm Sohgo Security Services Co., is designed to patrol along pre-programmed paths and keep an eye out for signs of trouble.

Fickle Flickers website offers glimpse into hallucinagen induced japanimation reality world…..

Fickle Swimmers

I stubled accross this site as a link for my previous post and tough it had some outstanding artwork on it. I was amazed to see such good work merging real photos with animated figures. I did not find the artists’ name but you have to click on the ‘profile’ button and then click on the artists rendition of himself….I though it was cute. (I may try and master this move for my daughter).

Not bad for a random stumble-surf-finding…..

Have fun!
