new crop
i visited a preview of the hague art academy (KABK) final show last friday and these are some of the graduates whose work caught my attention: a very comprehensive and well researched project on adoption from miranda ensink, who is herself a korean adoption child (although the final book she made is not yet on her site), inbal kaplan who created a series of playful posters based on the familiar smells associated of her family members (also not yet on her site), karlijn van leeuwen, judith veenendaal who is passionate about music and illustration, this recent video, for example, which she made for young electronica artist ‘sotu the traveller’
and finally florian schick who concentrated on font design and is currently working on a new upcoming font release ‘calligrafx’
yellow pictures might be by either
this fascinating geo-tagging project looks a lot better than the one mentioned earlier today… shown here are amsterdam, tokyo and london…
…blue points on the map are pictures taken by locals (people who have taken pictures in this city dated over a range of a month or more).
Red points are pictures taken by tourists (people who seem to be a local of a different city and who took pictures in this city for less than a month).
Yellow points are pictures where it can’t be determined whether or not the photographer was a tourist (because they haven’t taken pictures anywhere for over a month). They are probably tourists but might just not post many pictures at all.
The maps are ordered by the number of pictures taken by locals….
