Articulated Bicycle Camera Mount With Quick-Release

drawing with light


Cenci Goepel and Jens Warnecke's Lightmark photo series is bit like a highly refined version of LED light pen projects we've covered here. The incorporation of picturesque scenery with silvery light-born objects seems to reference a feeling of alien presence in our world - beautiful work. - Lightmark [via Neatorama]

Upcoming Exhibition Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable Art

September 11-December 7, 2008
Opening reception: 5 p.m.-7 p.m., Thursday, September 11
Reception and exhibition are free.

Exploring intersections of art and sustainability

Balancing environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic concerns, sustainable design has the potential to transform everyday life and is reshaping the fields of architecture and product design. Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable Art explores the influence of this design philosophy on artists who combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructively critical approach to the production, dissemination, and display of art. The exhibition includes existing works, commissions, and previously presented work that has been “recycled,” spotlighting ways in which artists are building paths to new forms of practice. Many of the artists work collaboratively and leaven serious social aims with playful, off-the-grid spark. Their approaches range from the metaphorical to the pragmatic, sometimes serving as models for audience activism.
