VRNO

17 February 2012
By

We don’t know much about VRNO. Supposedly he is from Michigan and his name might be Jamal… or Perry. His work ranges from 7′” x 7″ marker on paper pieces to 24″ x 24″ paint on wood. He has become known for his bright colors and highly detailed patterns in surrealistic situations. He stays a recluse to aid his creative process kind of like Banksy. What is interesting is you can see some of the street art style of Banksy in a few of his pieces. His work reminds us of doodles from an insane genius. But for all we know he could be a she. His flickr page was pretty popular and full of lots of great work but has since been shut down along with anything that is seemingly run by the artist himself. Read more »

drum machine robot

You know those burnt out musicians that are always like”…I like live to play music, it’s like all I do man.” Well for this robot it’s whole life actually does consists of finding stuff to make music on. With a set of ‘eyes’ mounted in front the robot, it seeks out objects, rolls over to them, and begins to beat on them. It first records a short sample and repeats it. Then as it’s listening to the sample it just made, it lays down another layer of drums on top again and again until it gets bored and wanders away to find something new. Read more »

One of the most beautiful marriages that can happen is between art and technology. One of the most striking examples of this is mechanical mirrors of Daniel Rozin. Each mirror has the warmth of analogue media and the brains of the digital world. If your not familiar, how you’re able to read this and view anything on the internet is by way of the thousands of little pixels in your monitor displaying 1 color at a time. Read more »

niklas roy is cooler than you

Our featured artist this month is Niklas Roy and hes the coolest. His art consists of ‘useless’ inventions that are not only thought provoking but usually hilarious. In his workshop in Berlin you can find a classic instilation at work in his front window called My Little Piece of Privacy. His goal was to install a small but smart curtain. Basically surveillance cameras and and old lap top spot a passing pedestrian and a motor moves the dinky curtain to block only where that pedestrian is. It does the opposite of diverting attention but is awesome.

Probably my favorite invention of his so far is the International Dance Party. Read more »
