This stop motion animation project by London designer Nicos Livesay is totally far out, man. The wildly colorful models are made of plasticine, and then “sliced” like a loaf to reveal the patterns underneath. Each from of the stop motion is another slice. Really cool! The colors, man, the colors! I really like this, the …
Alain Vonck recently graduated with a degree in graphic design from a Paris university. “Ruins” is his masters thesis.

The exhibition is called “Trace”, and consists of very short clips of video, which work to give a living essence to otherwise static images.

Back in the days before digital information systems, transactions had to be recorded on paper, and often by hand. The concept of a “ledger” may be foreign to most millennials, but the older generations will remember them. In this meticulous work, Jill Sylvia individually extracts the entries from ledgers, leaving blank spaces. I’ll leave the …
