Visual Complexity.

A collection of data visualizations. They are really interesting to look at and some are interactive. I noticed that some of the demos don't work, but there are at least pictures.

remember....

7th Annual Transmodern Festival

Hope y'all know about the Transmodern Festival events happening this upcoming weekend...

I recently strolled across an artist by the name of AJ Purdy and immediately thought of Mike Moore. Purdy uniquely combines illustrative skills with an advanced design sensibility to create works that embody the spirit of Herring.

Colorforms at Hirshhorn

"Milk Run" by James Turell at Colorforms exhibit now on view at the Hirshhorn til September. It takes a few minutes to get your eyes adjusted to the dark room and then the room becomes a Mark Rothko picture without the frame...Also, Wolfgang's hazelnut pollen floor and Fred Sandback's piece are great...each has their own room.
