Photographic Story

Once in a while I come across an installation, piece of art or design that makes me stop in my tracks and really look at it. Then look at it some more and eventually keep thinking about it. Layered Drawings is such an installation and the Japanese artist Nobukiro Nakanishi is such an artist. He photographs the same scene over a period of time, then mounts it onto acrylic and mounts it showing the subtle passing of time. The results are stunning.

Just when I was running out of ideas for a post, along came ixxi. Ixxi is a modular connecting system made from small panels, x's and i's which you can personalize any way you want. It's a pretty simple idea with a very, very cool impact. http://www.ixxi.nu/

These are just a few examples, as really imagination is the only limit of what you can put up there. Also, it is not limited to a flat surface, you can create spaces with them, as the following, very cool image shows.
