Because it's Cool |
Do not over think it. This is a mixed bag of things I find and like, and sometimes love. |
A coworker showed me this about a half year ago. Thanks to whatwedid for posting it up on Tumblr.Georges Rousse is a photographer, and probably a genius at geometry. He uses geometrical shapes or fluid lines, painting parts of buildings. If you just walk through the building you think that just random beams and flooring are painted for no reason, but once you hit a certain angle, everything lines up creating an optical illusion of a flat image. Innovative and mind-blowing; wish I could see one in person. I wonder if he leaves with migraines after every project.
Artist Ben Heine has some great ideas, just check out his flickr photostream and you’ll see what I mean. One of my favorite though is his series called Pencil vs. Camera. It’s visually stimulating, but what I like best about it is the idea of interpretation layered upon interpretation. It also speaks to the imagination, and that anything is possible. Your mind can take an ordinary scene and interpret it as is, or it can take the scene to places yet to be seen.
