Marco Brambilla “RPM” 2011 (excerpt)

Marco Brambilla is my favorite video artist who has also directed a huge-budget Hollywood action film.

If you hate the cheesy slapped-together look of the official Drive blu-ray / DVD cover, you can always download this attractive substitute by James White at Signalnoise. Get it here.

I’m at a Christmas party where the food is all inspired by modern art. This is a carrot curry geleé inspired by Josef Albers.

MIT’s Giles Phillips has studied Louis Sullivan’s “A System of Architectural Ornament, According with a Philosophy of Man’s Powers” and produced what is, in his words:

a Shape Grammar for Sullivan’s detailing, based upon one of the tiles from the building’s facade. To develop the grammar, I studied Sullivans designs, and also his writings, which speak in depth on the subject of ornament.

It’s a fascinating read.
