SOMA, A MYSTERIOUS NEW PROJECT FROM JAMES JEAN

I was browsing around over on James Jean’s blog and came across these images from something called SOMA, which certainly piqued my interest. There’s basically no info about it, just a line from James that reads “From my secret stash.”

UNIMPRESSED BY IMPRESSIONISM: ANTHONY LISTER’S NEW WORK

Anthony Lister is one of the new artist/badass combinations who have a very distinct visual expression. His style is impossible to imitate and straddles the line between impermanence and durability, flirting with both street art and “proper” art. Last night at New Image in Los Angeles, his latest works were unveiled which did not feature any superheros or popular culture items: it featured popular art items as subjects.

Lister tackled Impressionists by giving his take on what his ballerinas would look like and what his van Gogh would look like and how he would do Impressionism. The pieces were all very informal, most without frames, some partially painted onto the wall, his notes and commentary on every piece all over the gallery. His work is intentionally not pretty and at points very ghostly, bordering the macabre: it’s like a delightfully playful and cocky middle finger to popular artists of centuries past. It’s super great.

JMC Soundboard

Designed by master guitar-builder Jeanmichel Capt with the exceptional creativity and skill he employs to sculpt musical instruments, the JMC Soundboard creates a beautifully encased sound system that blends seamlessly into most any environment. Built with time-honored techniques used in making JMC guitars, the speaker blurs the line between art object and home audio system. The Soundboard has been around for some time now, but we only recently got to experience it in person—between the uncannily thin silhouette and masterful uniformity of sound, it certainly struck a chord.

Fidelio SoundRing

The design-driven Dutch company has created a bold, beautiful wireless system in the Fidelio SoundRing. The speakers deliver 360 degrees of surround sound, and look brilliant from any angle at the same time. The compact design allows the circular speaker to be taken from its dock and moved wirelessly throughout the room for stellar audio anywhere. The Fidelio SoundRing, powered by 16W RMS of total output power, will be released in November with a retail price of $300.

Ocean Trash Photo Collages by Mandy Barker

‘soup’ is a description that is given to the plastic debris that is suspended in the sea. it is a title which makes particular reference
to the mass accumulation of refuse that exists in the area of the north pacific ocean, also known as the ‘garbage patch’.
in researching this, UK photographer mandy barker developed a series of images entitled ‘soup’ which depicts these plastics
and discarded items salvaged from beaches around the world. the work is a means of representing a global collection of refuse
that exists within the earth’s oceans for various amounts of time.

for each still, individual pieces of plastic are photographed on a black background as well as in combination with other
articles of a similar size. barker then overlays these images with one another, illustrating the smallest up to the largest items of trash,
creating a feeling of depth and suspension in the final visual. the sequence of the photographs reveal a narrative
which begins with the initial attraction of plastics to sea creatures, their attempted ingestion, ending with their ultimate death
represented through ‘soup: ruinous remembrance’. ‘soup: 500+’ wraps up the collection of photos, a complete contrast to the earlier images,
portraying the fatal consequence of ingestion by illustrating a more compact arrangement. it suggests how the plastics
would have existed in close proximity to each other when within the stomach of a dead sea creature.

through the series, barker aims to engage with and stimulate an emotional response within the viewer,
resulting in a contradiction between initial aesthetic attraction and an awareness of the disturbing statistics of
dispersed plastics having no boundaries, ultimately ending with the death of marine life.

DEGLON MEETING KNIFE SET

You don’t need to appreciate clever design to like the Deglon Meeting Knife Set ($740) — but it helps. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this ingenious set includes a 3-1/4-inch paring knife, 5-1/4-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef knife, and 8-3/4-inch slicer, alternatively made with an internal cavity or shaped to go inside one, such that the entire set fits into the included steel block using roughly the same amount of space as a standard chef’s knife — which also makes it perfect for those times when space is at a premium.
