Yuken Teruya’s playful forestscapes:

Toilet rolls sprouting spreading branches are hung to create a ‘forest’ hanging on the wall or hanging down from the ceiling. There is a moment when the hanging cut-out-parts start holding their branches and leaves on their own strength. It is as if I’m helping the paper awakens its ability to be an individual tree.

Stereo.type by Ebon Heath

Ninja May 20th, 2009

stereo-type-by-ebon-heath

Language comes to life in Ebon Heath’s beautiful, kinetic typographic ballet, Stereo.type.

Heath’s intricately hand-cut mobile sculptures (the more recent pieces are laser-cut) feature Tupac and Rakim lyrics, Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto, advertising slogans, and religious texts. His cascading tyvec and bristol letters are strung on fine wire and dance in the air. Heath cites Alexander Calder as a strong influence on his work.

Brooklyn-based Ebon Heath is an artist, graphic designer, and a Professor in graphic design at Lehman College (he holds a bachelor’s degree from RISD). He is also the co-founder and partner of Cell Out.

Here’s a fun, poppy, electronic groove for your Friday.

You don’t need a big budget to make a great music video. I love the DIY papercutting, stop motion animation in Rex the Dog’s Bubblicious music video. The Bubblicious single drops February 23rd.
