Rebecca Sittler Schrock

I wish very frequently that I could make quiet photographs like these more often. It's a simple approach that broadens miniature sensations of what it is like to be inside of an enclosed area. I tried to do something similar ages ago with the appliances photographs, but I don't feel like I ever really succeeded. Rebecca here gives such a suggestive quality to the lamest objects, like a mattress pad and a feather duster. I absolutely love it. Her website is here. Discovered on I heart photograph.

Vampires

Photographs of people exiting one of the biggest computer programming gatherings of the year, dubbed campus party. [after, I am assumming, being indoors for extremely long periods of time] Dubbed "vampires" by the photographer, Roc Herms. What a wonderful transition to document. Hillarious, but scary at the same time.

Technology's self portraits.

Photocopies of mirrors.

Can't we talk about music a bit?

I try to keep the music side of my life away from this blog, but it would be ridiculous of me to say that it dose not influence my art, because it probably does more so than anything visual. [It was listening to music that made me decide to be a visual artist in the first place.]

On the 3rd I saw Mogwai play that the 9:30 club in D.C., and I had the unique pleasure to see them perform their 30+ min opus My Father My King. It very nearly may be the most dramatic thing I have ever seen in my entire life. "Music to split the red sea to." As my friend said it perfectly.



This got me thinking about other records which have inspired me visually...there is quite a number of them. Here they are, not in any particular order.




[Air: Talkie Walkie; Radiohead: Kid A; Matmos: The Civil War; Johnny Greenwood: Bodysong; Mogwai: Happy Songs For Happy People; Bjork: Vesperitine; Holy Fuck: Holy Fuck; The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots; Rachel's: Systems/Layers]

edaeda...are these lit up or just inverted?

Argh...I hate it when artists have really, really inadequate descriptions on their website! I'm assuming that they just document their sculptures and then invert them in photoshop, but I'd like to believe that they colored them blue and lit them from the inside.
...right. Either way, the original forms are pretty beautiful. See here.

...I particularly enjoy the sequence of these next two images.





And this following image reminds me of something I tried to do along time ago.



[but I feel like he did it better. my image regardless.]



I only with more information were available on his website. I love mostly all of the work, it has such a nice sensibility to mood and palette. But those first images particularly interest me as I see myself moving into that sort of a direction. [I have been thinking about circles!]

Dalton Ghetti's Alphabet

Insane sculptures made by carving the graphite inside of pencils. Several of his pieces are hanging in the AVAM now. [Theres two film screenings left--where you can enter the museum for free beforehand, keep in mind.] New York Times article about Dalton Ghetti here.

Found on but does it float.
