3D Optical Illusion Street Art By Former NASA Scientist

3D Optical Illusion Street Art By Former NASA Scientist

They may look like a computer-generated images but these incredible scenes are in fact hand drawn using chalk. Master artist and former NASA worker Kurt Wenner uses his mathematical skill to create illusions on cobbles and pavements across the world. The 3D artist, who was once commissioned to draw for the Pope, will soon be heading to London to unveil his latest creation. This is one of three interactive pavement art pieces commissioned for Buick motor company in 2009 in Herald Square in New York

Finally


Finally, my first of 2 shows this week has gone up and gone on display for a week from today, we put the work into the gallery on saturday and its a really diverse collection of work, there is video, painting, sculpture, print, etc... and it all works very well together. My work has came together very well, it involves 3 tv's displaying 3 videos of breaking news coverage of the death of princess diana, 9/11 and the 7/7 bombings, like I've previously said.


It's quite difficult to capture with a camera, not helped by the fact it is pretty dark in there (which works very well for me)

The show is on all week from today 12pm-6pm and we have a private view on Wednesday 6pm-9pm.

Meanwhile my end of year show is on tommorow night, which means I have to get all my portfolio work done for then aswell, not good. For that show I am having a show reel of highlights of my years work in Video, which will work well for showing the tutors aswell, much better than just having a few screenshots.

I feel bad. 
I haven't posted on here for a long time. 

But then again, I haven't done much work in a while, bit of artists block, bit of arsing around, bit of easter, its all kind of toppled on top of me.
Most I've achieved is finishing that work for the book for the show next month.



I'm going to have to, but I do want to aswell, work my ass of for the next few weeks in order to get the work ready for the show. I think the video work I have done I will keep and I am going to work on how to display the work, once I am happy with that, I may go back to editing, if I have the time.
At the same time, I would like to do some photography work, as other work to go with it. I do feel like what was a really good term, last term, I ruined by getting too into a small section of work on this conspiracy theory stuff, not going to art history and generally worrying rather than doing work (and getting pissed...) Lucky enough, its first year, so I only need to pass....

edit

I've been messing about with the image I put on here earlier, I knew it wasn't right so I've tried a couple more edits, not sure what I like best yet but I like the imagery. I also took out Michael Jackson, just due to the fact the image was a lot brighter than the others and it didn't look right.

Ive put a few pop culture references in the image, which I hope people see and understand its not supposed to be serious, one in particular, because otherwise it could look like I'm actually a bit thick.
