Bog Standard Art

This via The Design Inspiration some really innovative art created with old toilet role tubes - never ceases to amaze me how people can apply creativity to the strangest most mundane objects to such great effect.



Really cool stuff - you can see the whole collection here

This is just fun with Lego

By an artist called Walter Wick. Nice.

Cool living art in Trafalgar Square

This summer, sculptor Antony Gormley invites you to help create an astonishing living monument. He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals. They will become an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.

Every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break, a different person will make the Plinth their own. If you're selected, you can use your time on the plinth as you like. One & Other is open to anyone and everyone from any corner of the UK. As long as you're 16 or over and are living or staying in the UK, you can apply to be part of this unforgettable artistic experiment.

You can play your part in making this idea a reality - either by volunteering yourself, by telling others about it, or by experiencing it online or in the square itself.

It's Cannes - it's going to be busy with good work

Just saw this great piece of work has won one of the first awards - the world's first Ephemeral Museum.

Essentially a brilliant and simple idea - this time revolving around graffiti in Lisbon but here is how it works.

1. Make a map of cool graffiti - put it on line
2. Record information about the work - turn it in to a mp3 track
3. Put a small museum title board on the real pieces of graffiti
4. Stick the whole lot on a website
5. People download the map and the track on their ipod and then walk around the streets like a living museum

Great stuff for tourism, arts, attractions, the National Trust etc

Banksy & Bristol

Not much to say about htis other than a great real world mash up - Banksy has teamed up with Bristol Museum to add a little flair to the pieces they have on display.

BBC 6 Music Street Art TV Commercial - Strangely Familiar

I have seen this TV ad for BBC 6 music a couple of times now - it is very good and works really well with the soundtrack - RKCR did a nice job on it and I like it.




But it does remind me of a Brazilian Street Art video I saw about 4 months back, who use this time lapse technique and make crazy/cool animated videos all done in a single day. Maybe RKCR used these guys to do the ad - the style is very similar. They are called Blu.

A Square Meal at Spike

A little bit like a 'Synthetic Fry up' or a 'Tasting Menu' but made solely of crisps and other nasty stuff that comes out of plastic bags. What you get when you let 20 Techies loose in Sainsbury's.
