I’d like to talk about Chanel Mobil Art due to different reasons.

On one hand we have that Chanel Mobil Art is an itinerant exhibition featuring peaces of 20 contemporary artists, in which all of the peaces are inspired in iconic Chanel quilt bag.

The exhibition started in Hong Kong on February 27th and will travel to Tokyo, New York, London, Moscow and Paris.

On the other hand we have that the pavilion, called “Art Container”, is a futuristic structure created by the architect Zaha Hadid

And to finish gathering all this, the Web page is absolutely in accordance with the exhibition concept. As Karl Lagerfeld says: “Design and Architecture are the real art of today”.

Let’s have a look to Chane Mobil Art web page!

Meet The World, is a campaign organized by Revista Grande Reportagem, with the idea to bring across the concept that the magazine offers profound journalism about topics of real importance to the world of today.

From real data taken from Amnistia International or UN , they put new meanings to the colours of the flags, to portray current topics like the division of opinions about the war in Iraq in the United States , the violence against women in Africa, the social inequalty in Brazil, etc.

Best Digital Art 2007, is a post form Art Culture, a bloc dedicated to Digital Art.

I mention this blog, because a part of being a good source of information, I think the selection made is quite good, I mostly agree with it.

Illuminated is a new animated series being created by some of the people behind GNN (Guerrilla News Network), Phong.com (Eminem’s “Mosh”), Pod Collective, Broken Saints, and ConceptArt.org.

“Set in the not-too-distant future, planet Earth is being ravaged by rampant environmental change and collapsing economies, as widespread social movements triggered by online interaction are reshaping the face of world politics.

Saturated by media, people have lost their ability to dream and plug into a sophisticated communication system each night called the DreamField, which gives them access to a virtual dream-state, networked with the rest of the world.

Online, dreams have become just another kind of media, and a group of dreamstars have emerged as the culture’s new celebrities. Coming from an established political family, Aya is one of the most popular dreamstars, and millions plug into her dreams every night to experience her adventures through a hyper-dimensional vide-game reality, live as they sleep.”

Updating resources gathered together along the years, it’s useful sometimes.

 

In this case, all URL’s I have been using along this year about Free Photos Data Bases.

 

They’re good sources of ideas and creativity, as well as hight valued graphic resources. I’m with those who think that the Internet is image.

 

At least, it’s possible to enjoy very interesting creations and works.
