Future Glyphs by Matthew DiVito
Also known as Mr. Div, Matthew uses a strange blend of alchemy, magic, and the darkest art of them all: geometry to create these dazzling animated GIF’s, scaled up from the micro-sized atomic world of protons and starstuffs that we’re all made of.
Whether you´re an Artist, Architect, Designer or Advertiser, you´ll probably already be familiar with Pantone. The Pantone global color authority has announced several interesting projects to disseminate the hue and brightness of their colors … one example is this wonderful hotel in the region of Brussels, Belgium. The Pantone Hotel was designed by architect Olivier Hannaert, while the colorful and flashy decor was by interior designer Michel Penneman. Each floor was decorated using different color palettes, and the hotel features some great colorful details.

Scars on the Earth | Emmet Gowin | Socks Studio
US artist Emmet Gowin discovered aerial photography after receiving a scholarship from the Seattle Arts Commission in 1980 and consequently being asked to photograph the massive eruption of Mount Saint Helens. Since then, she has been taking black-and-white pictures of the surface of the Earth for over twenty years documenting the landscape of the United States, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Gowin’s pictures record the impact of human action on the planet in a subtle yet very impactful way. Her subjects are ammunition storages and disposal facilities, coal mining, pivot irrigation, nuclear test sites and battlefields which from above look like abstract shapes superposed to natural features. The reading of Gowin’s photos requires a double level of attention: while at first they appear as a compelling, almost romanticized, landscapes, at a second look they reveal the traces of man’s exploitation of the planet.
