Take one completely white empty room, add some sticker sheets, thousands of kids allowed to add them anywhere they want – and you end up with something strangely beautiful!

From this fairly soulless white space…

Obliteration 1 600x399

Obliteration 4 600x399

Obliteration 5 5 600x360

To this which I find completely beautiful and fascinating at the same time. It would have made a great time-lapse seeing all the kids adding the dots in.

The installation, the obliteration room, is by artist Yayoi Kusama at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. More info at the original post over at thisiscolossal.com.

It looks like she has a show at Tate Modern coming up on the 9th Feb too which I’m definitely going to have to see.

With Associates have completed their November update to their redesign-our-site-once-a-month thing. The end result is great as usual but also sad to see our efforts for October go.

However the thing that’s far more interesting to me is the behind the scenes or process that goes into it. A fairly ambitious 4 hours was set to do the whole thing and again was recorded with a timelapse which fittingly is four minutes long.

And here’s a few more images from their Flickr set.

Humorous look at those moving into the DV world and becoming ace video makers by buying a Canon 5D.

A beautiful set of images of Sanaa’s Rolex Learning Centre in Lausanne being used as an area for skiing and generally mucking about. Love it. Probably not what the Architect intended but lots of fun regardless.

As the recent owner of a Brompton bicycle – purchased on the cycle to work scheme for meetings and general pootling around town – I find this really impressive. Beautifully shot and edited too. Leaves a really nice feeling after watching. Makes me want to do Lands End to John O’groats. Looks like a fantastic experience.

All shot with 2 Canon 5Dmk2′s and as many lens/tripods/sliders as we could cram onto the back of a Brompton.

Been meaning to post this for a while as it’s been doing the rounds on the net. Something incredible about this. Watch it and then watch the behind the scenes cut after.

So the East Coast of the US has gotten some serious snow last night. Someone knew it was on the way and set a quick timelapse in his garden. Seriously impressive stuff, the timelapse and the snow!

Approximately 20 hours in 40 seconds.
