Brian Eno's Ever-Evolving Ambient Art
The North American premiere of 77 Million Paintings was presented by San Francisco's Long Now Foundation, an art collective established to pursue projects promoting a "slower and better" worldview. The show is one of Eno's "generative" works. He loads his images and sounds onto a computer, which plays them back randomly as an infinite set of permutations -- hence the title.

Stolen Jewels
One of my highlights at ICFF this year was the Mike and Maaike booth, in particular their new Stolen Jewels collection. The printed and scored leather “jewels” tell an interesting story, they’re based on actual stolen jewels, in fact pixilated images of the stolen gems from the web, and printed on scored leather so that each facet/pixel can be bent out. Mike just sent us some studio shots of the collection that do better justice to the collection than my show floor shots.

Artist unveils $98M diamond skull
Damien Hirst, former BritArt bad boy whose works infuriate and inspire in equal measure, did it again on Friday with a diamond-encrusted platinum cast of a human skull priced at a cool $98 million.
The skull, cast from a 35-year-old 18th-century European male, is coated with 8,601 diamonds, including a large pink diamond worth more than $8 million in the center of its forehead.

Banksy Was Here
The British graffiti artist Banksy likes pizza, though his preference in toppings cannot be definitively ascertained. He has a gold tooth. He has a silver tooth. He has a silver earring. He’s an anarchist environmentalist who travels by chauffeured S.U.V. He was born in 1978, or 1974, in Bristol, England—no, Yate. The son of a butcher and a housewife, or a delivery driver and a hospital worker, he’s fat, he’s skinny, he’s an introverted workhorse, he’s a breeze-shooting exhibitionist given to drinking pint after pint of stout. For a while now, Banksy has lived in London: if not in Shoreditch, then in Hoxton. Joel Unangst, who had the nearly unprecedented experience of meeting Banksy last year, in Los Angeles, when the artist rented a warehouse from him for an exhibition, can confirm that Banksy often dresses in a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. When Unangst is asked what adorns the T-shirts, he will allow, before fretting that he has revealed too much already, that they are covered with smudges of white paint.

Eduardor Relero's Chalk Drawings
Eduardor Relero has made these amazing chalk drawings in the streets of Spain. However, this don't look like your average Julian Beever drawings, each one could contain a hidden message about poverty or death such as "Amnesty International", but I'm stumped for what these pictures could mean. I especially like the rich man or women holding the gun, it took me a while to see that. I also like the baby head and the skull drawings because they're done so well! I appreciate the skull one more though, because if you look closely at the background the sun appears to be right above the drawing, but the drawing itself seems to create its own light source. How amazing is that?

Still On The Run - Portfolio
Self made designer, I've been practicing design in an intensive way since 2006 and have already been involved in many project such as webdesign, flyers, posters, cd design or visual identity for a number of organisations. Co-founder of the Beneath A Steel Sky nation, I got myself surrounded by a network of skilled people dedicated to design, DJ-ing, drum&bass and nu-roots music production... This "pack" of talents allowed me an extensive number of collaborations and opened the gates to a perpetual renewing of my creative field of expression. Beneath the threats of a steel sky, I'm now evolving among the twists and curves of a urban decay graphic style. My commitment and need for expression have set graphic design at the heart of my current priorities and nothing on earth might change my mind.
I'am available for commissions, collaborations or whatever could feed my creative hunger. Thanx for your support, love and interest! All the best for 2007!
Talk to you soon!

DRIFT: audio visual synergies
On April 15th, poet and Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo and visual artist and filmmaker Leah Singer came finally to Tokyo’s Super Deluxe for their experimental DRIFT DVD. Although the work has been shown all over the world since 1991, we hadn’t had a chance yet to see it in Japan! At the venue, two projectors displayed images on a split screen to be overlapped by sound and poetry… Really, everyone in the crowded and overheated place was completely intoxicated with its fantastic world. PingMag luckily had a chance to talk to the couple about DRIFT.
