Voynich Manuscript & Codex Seraphinianus

2009-07-23T04:57:00.000-07:00

The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious, undeciphered illustrated book. It is thought to have been written in the 15th or 16th century. The author, script, and language of the manuscript remain unknown.

The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978. The book is approximately 360 pages long, and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, a thus-far undeciphered alphabetic writing.

Both books are best viewed as less literature and instead art.

Jungle For Dummies

2009-02-12T05:42:00.000-08:00

Jungle is the name given to a style of electronic music that incorporates influences from genres including breakbeat hardcore, techno, rare groove and reggae/dub/dancehall. There is significant debate as to whether Jungle is a separate genre from drum and bass as some use the terms interchangeably. Jungle and Drum and bass started to separate musically in the late 1990s. There is a fuzzy period there where it is harder to distinguish the difference between the two. There is much politics attached to labeling different tracks as a specific genre. Presented here is a choice selection of Ragga/Raggacore & standard Jungle/d&b... a great introduction to anyone interested.

2009-01-15T00:35:00.000-08:00

Description: Tamala, a sort of Hello Kitty-alike who swears like a sailor and flies around in her retro spaceship, lives in Meguro City, Tokyo, Cat Earth, a world of corporations and commercialism, where a giant mechanical Colonel Sanders wanders through streets with an axe embedded in its head repeating an advertisement for meat over a loudspeaker. Tamala, bored with the city, leaves her human foster mother and boards a spaceship bound for her birthplace, Orion. Her ship is shot down and she lands on Planet Q in Hate City. There she meets a male cat, Michelangelo, who becomes her boyfriend. Planet Q is a place where dogs rule and the couple is pursued by Kentauros, a sadistic dog dressed as a motorcycle cop. Tamala uncovers not only the secrets behind ‘Catty & Company’, the huge megaconglomerate that rules the Feline Galaxy, but also her own identity. That, and a whole lot of really weird stuff happens.

CataraX is a VJ artist who's primarily concerned with electronic music, live triggering clips over midi sync ensuring a unique visual response & a synchronous expression of the moment. The end result is a phantasmagoria of quickly shifting images, all synched to the kind of music i highly approve of, abstract electronica.

Peter Tscherkassky

2009-01-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

Peter Tscherkassky is an Austrian avant-garde filmmaker who works exclusively with found footage. All of his work is done with film and heavily edited in the darkroom, rather than relying on technological modes. Tscherkassky not only presents beautiful and haunting images, but also forces the audience to rethink the traditional conception of film and film narrative.

I like to describe his work as beautiful epileptic chaos....

D*Face

2009-01-11T07:34:00.000-08:00

"D*Face" aka. Dean Stockton. Grew up in London and had a childhood interest in graffiti. He credits this to Henry Chalfant's coverage of New York subway graffiti in Spraycan Art and Subway Art, later as a teenager skateboarding and in particular Thrasher magazine's coverage of skateboard deck graphics led his interest in stickers and the DIY mentality associated with skate and punk fanzines. He attended an illustration and design course and worked as a freelance illustrator/designer whilst honing his street work. Influences included Shepard Fairey's "Obey Giant" art campaign, Jim Philips, hip hop, punk music, and popular animated cartoons.

Best known for his supremely deranged artwork for Deerhoof's Milk Man album, Japanese Artist Ken Kagami, takes great pleasure in exposing the brightly coloured injection-formed world of the toddler to the horrifyingly sordid reality of the big kids playground. Inane, puerile genius.

Always more interested in g-spots than f-stops, director Eon McKai graduated high school early and completed both undergraduate and post-graduate degree studies in no time. Feeling like mainstream porn was out of touch for his generation -- the emo, punk, goth, electro generation -- Eon cooked up the perfect recipe for neu-erotica. (porn for hipsters, as he likes to call it)

2009-01-07T16:48:00.000-08:00

Kunstformen der Natur (German for Art Forms of Nature) is a book of lithographic and autotype prints by German biologist Ernst Haeckel. Originally published in sets of ten between 1899 and 1904 and as a complete volume in 1904, it consists of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself. Over the course of his career, over 1000 engravings were produced based on Haeckel's sketches and watercolors; many of the best of these were chosen for Kunstformen der Natur, translated from sketch to print by lithographer Adolf Giltsch.

Paul Insect's refined interpretation of visceral subject
matter has thrust him towards fame in the past year, with
a noted collector absorbing his entire 'Bullion'
exhibition. Equally, Paul’s work has evolved considerably.
Victorian graphics have been replaced by Dada-ist collages
fusing adolescence, aggression, and 'rough around more than
just the edges' pornography. These motifs are
tempered by a joyous use of colour and an ambitious style.

Who is Lucy Monostone? Fictional Manga Character, or real life Terrorist shrouded in mystery... honestly i have no idea, i do know there are books on the subject, but from what i can see so far, they're in Japanese.

Whoever this person is, they supposedly did the killer track from Takashi Miike's MPD-Psycho, a spaced out psychedelic jam called 'Strange New World' which i highly recommend.

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

2008-12-20T10:41:00.000-08:00

Gary Baseman's work is distinguished by big-eyed characters in slapstick situations and vivid use of colour. He has cited influences as varied as Warner Brothers cartoons, vintage American comic strips, Hieronymus Bosch, Day of the Dead artifacts, and Japanese pop art.

Tim Biskup is an American artist generally considered to
be a part of the group that has been dubbed "lowbrow" or
pop surrealism. His free-spirited style recalls 1950s
storybook illustration, with bright colors and whimsical
shapes unrestricted by the black outlining typically used
in character design.

2008-12-20T10:33:00.000-08:00

The Art of Jan Feliks Kallwejt is simple yet sophisticated. He juxtaposes and multiplies his work bringing to life the complex and tricky compositions, spiced up with attention to detail. He usually limits color palette, operating within two or three tones. To render the reality he employs multilayered symbolism, occasionally dropping in a dose of perversion where not expected.
