Andy Goldsworthy’s Natural Sculptures.

I’m always blown away every time I come across Andy Goldsworthy’s incredible natural sculptures, so I figured I’d share a few with you today!

Gregory Euclide’s “Extract” at Hashimoto Contemporary.

Opening on April 7th, 2016 at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, California is brilliant looking solo show of Gregory Euclide’s entitled “Extract.”

Euclide gathers organic matter from his everyday surroundings and reconstructs them alongside traditional art mediums, resulting in comprehensive vignettes that ebb and flow in waves of contrast. Placed within a new context, the artist’s varied materials make up miniaturized vistas, riddled with architectural geometry and abstract movement, often found trailing out of their compositions. In the artist’s own words: “The forms fracture the pictorial space, at times, inhabiting the frames, robbing them of their ability to define a single view and inviting a phenomenological exploration by the viewer.”

transcranial / embodied cognition

Tech Art performance project from Klaus Obermaier, Kyle McDonald and Daito Manabe deconstructs the visible body parts of dancers into an alternative collage of movement:

Scientists use electromagnetic pulses to create glitches on brain activity by altering neuronal currents. Such glitches may cause temporary failures that can be represented by disassembling the body. As if this would be malfunctioning or out of control. Mind expression through body and body expression through mind. Transcranial explores these expressions of mind and body in an interactive performance where technology and human being play the embodied mind.
