Alberto Vasquez and Péter Toronyi: Walking Light

Alberto Vasquez and Péter Toronyi claim to have “formed light” in their beautifully crafted lamp prototype Walking Light. Made from LEDs and slim foil, this somewhat eerie looking fixture (which looks like a mummified version of the leg lamp from A Christmas Story) skillfully challenges traditional views of furniture design. To bring this creepy creation to life, both designers developed a unique technique that enabled them to turn airy material into a self-sustaining structure. As both artists point out “the dematerialized kind of foil is the materialized visualization of light.”

Herr Müller, Martin Sulzer and Iron Curtis: “O’Hare”

It took one illustrator, one motion video/animation artist, one house musician, some adhesive tape, foil, and light to create this staggeringly intricate music video “O’Hare” for Johannes Paluka, aka Iron Curtis. Herr Müller illustrated the glimmering jellyfish who appear to be coastin’ through the dark abyss, and Martin Sulzer brought the project to life using a range of animation techniques (2D, 2 ½ D, and 3D). “O’Hare” will be featured on Iron Curtis’ upcoming album Mirau set to release later in the year.

Juan M. Sanchez: 3D Experiments

Juan M. Sanchez shows us the very best of digital imaging in his 3D Experiments. Using Cinema 4D, Sanchez created these detailed floating geometric configurations that pay close resemblance to the mirrored spheres from Anish Kapoor‘s towering 2009 installation, Tall Tree and the Eye.
