The Wobbulator 18:52

This device was originally made by video artist Nam June Paik and video engineer Shuya Abe in the 1970’s. It’s some kind of an analog video processor, aka a thing to make cool images on ye old tv-set. Oh, I’m not even going to begin trying to explain all this. It’s way over my head.

If you want more info, check out the Create Digital Motion-blog where I found it, or the Vimeo page of Blair Neal who made the video.

Kemistry Gallery in London has been exhibiting the work of legendary designer Lou Dorfsman, art director for CBS network.  The exhibition centers on his most notable creation, the 11 meter wide handmade wooden typographic wall that he named Gastrotypographicalassemblage. With custom type created by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase, the wall contains almost 1500 individual characters.

The exhibition closed at the end of October. Well… it was a bit far for me anyway…

Paul Pope Interview 11:05

I know, I know… We’ve had a Paul Pope interview before on this blog. And this one isn’t exactly hot from the presses either (it’s two years old, in fact). But for some reason I’ve always found Mr. Pope one of the more interesting comic-creators around. So there you go.

Candas Sisman 09:36

I recently stumbled across this awesome portfolio of Candas Sisman, who lives and works in Istanbul.

I saw some of his videos first, but was later struck by the beautiful graphic design and photography work he does as well. Check out some of those videos and pictures here, then visit his site.
