Sacred Geometry

I wanted to write a post about Sacred Geometry partly because I saw this amazing cathedral, but unfortunately I forgot where, so now I have put together a few images that all have a part of fibonacci structure to them. "Leonardo de Pisa (circa 1180-1240 AD), better known as Fibonacci, explained the uniformity of the following geometric proportions. He found that this geometry and harmony in nature is equal to a number sequence of 1–1–2–3–5–8–13–21–34–55–89--144 and so on, found by adding each number to the previous one to get the next number. He also realized that the natural branching, flowering, and spiraling forms in nature follow the same uniform harmonic laws that can be found in musical scales.

The Fibonacci ratios were often used in cathedral architecture. Dufay's motet was also based in part on the above series of proportions, which were used in the creation of the Florence cathedral and the dome.

Windowshopping in Stockholm

All the pictures are taken by me

On sundays, I love to spend time with my friends and just enjoy getting up to nothing much at all. Stockholm is so beautiful now and I just had to take a quick peek in some of my favourite stores. Spiti is an amazing shop with furniture and details from the middle east. I´m thinking of getting some nice details from there, but first I have to repaint and build a new desk. My taste in interior changes quite often but I have a weakspot for retro 60´s and 70´s designs. Maybe a funky colourful rug from Spiti is a good idea, it would go with my huge painting that my sister refers to as "The psychedelic womit"

Donna Summer - She Works Hard For The Money

After a long and hectic week at work I just had to share a fantastic tune with you. Another tune to add to my "Guilty Pleasures" playlist.. Have a great weekend!

Photo from Simondale

You can find this cute little hobbit house in Wales and it´s built by Simon and his family. There are many similar building projects in and around Wales, and if you want to know more about permaculture, living off the grid and low impact houses I recommend you to check Simondale and sign up for their newsletter, and of course even better, get involved by helping out building similar houses.

Funky Art from "The Imaginary Foundation"

Have you come across the designs of The Imaginary Foundation? They combine digital art with old photographs, in a surreal style and mix it with clever motivational qoutes.

"The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They hold dear a belief in human potential and seek progress in all directions. The small clandestine team is headed up by the mysterious "Director," a 70-something Uber-intellectual whose father founded the Dadaist movement. Avoiding direct publicity, the team has sought clothing as an unlikely vehicle for bringing their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture."
"Be diciplined in life so you can be violent and original in your art"

Do they really have a thinktank in Switzerland with a mysterious dadaist founder called "The Director" or is it just excellent storytelling, who knows??

3D Mandelbulb

This morning I read up on my usual blogs and websites and came across another digital artist, called Tom Beddard. After I uploaded the previous posts of Tatiana Plakhova art, I was told that she uses apophysis, which is good news for me as it is very similar to Ultra Fractal which I´m already famililar with. This guy though, Tom Beddard, 3D mandelbulbs, that is very impressive! I would love to see some animations of them. My project for this autumn is to get into projections and vj´ing, so I might just give him a ring and chat to him abouot his bulbs.

I had to post some more from Tatiana Plakhova, I´ve never seen anything like i
t! I myself work in Ultra Fractal, and I would seriously love to try this out! If
