MISSNOMMER

The Santralistanbul Energy Museum is filled with so much character. Hidden amongst the pulleys, turbines, generators and fuses are an abundance of human expression. The following images are a selection of pareidolia examples taken from the museum and around Taksim.

generating faces

EYES EARS NOSE MOUTH

The following images were created by using software that selects and randomizes elements of the face. For these images, I wanted to experiment with similar shapes that we weren't accustomed to associating with the face. What resulted were cartoon-style images that liked to multiply.

LIGHT FUN

When something shines,
What comes to mind?

With respect to time,
What thoughts do you find?

Think of day, think of night,
Think of heat, think of light.

Think of on, think of off,
Think of hard, think of soft.

Think of dark[ness], think of sheen,
Think of white, think of green.

Think of cold, think of warm,
Think of shape, think of form.

Within are the graphics created and a selection of photos taken for a motion piece submitted to the 2011 Prix ARS Electronica [THE NEXT IDEA] competition.

DARK ARTS — BORNE AT DAWN

Aušrinė, the morning star in Lithuanian mythology, is the name of a ceramics concern based in the Vilnius region. The logo, a homage to Lithuanian ornamental design, was created using The Sign of Māra that represents earth, water and all creatures within.

BATF

For fun, I revisited a previous project and redesigned an identity for the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force. The logo recalls the map of Brooklyn, highlighting Flatbush Avenue and the organization's central location. In addition, enclosed is an annual report for which it was important to correlate the strength and vulnerability within the human body with the strength and the vulnerablity in the local community.

ODEUR

Started as a scent — infused throughout the DNA of its designs — and focused on form, Odeur wished to grow its presence within the fashion landscape while retaining its obscurity and provenance. Working with PM Per Westholm and graphic designer Robin Karlsson for this Hyper module, we were challenged to propose an online presence and digital strategy for the obscure Swedish high-end fashion brand Odeur.

WITH WAITED BREATH

It was my first week in Stockholm. By the end if it, I couldn't walk or eat and, I could barely breath. But, I could still write. This four minute speech recounted my near 12-hour lay-over in Copenhagen that had yet to release it's painful hold on me.
