Metropolis II

Posted by Thorbjorn 15 January 2012

Metropolis II is an intense and a complex kinetic sculpture by Californian artist Chris Burden, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. Steel beams form an eclectic grid interwoven with an elaborate system of 18 roadways, including one 6 lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. Miniature cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour; every hour, the equivalent of approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings. Currently exhibited at LACMA.

Michael Pudelka

Posted by Thorbjorn 9 January 2012

“Michael Pudelka was born 21 years ago in the capital city of Slovakia – Bratislava. As a young boy growing in a post communistic country I very soon understood that a boy with Barbie dolls doesn‘t find a place in that world. In elementary school I used to be the queer one and I started to feel the hate of society so I found my own world surrounded by drawings and simply with imagination.” Michael Pudelka is a photographer based in Brno, Czech Republic. www.michalpudelka.tumblr.com
