Browser Pong

Just in case the holiday party you end up at this week doesn’t turn out to be as exciting as you’d hoped, there’s nothing to fear if there’s a computer near, and you bookmark Stewdio’sutterly brilliant use of pop-up windows. Browser Pong’sgift of creativity is undeniably one to share this holiday season.

Happy Celebrating (Linking)!

The Multi-disciplined

One of the more charming aspects of producing creatively in the year 2009, and on the cusp of 2010, is the undeniable feeling that one can make whatever they like, however they like. This feeling is in specific regard to the ability of creatives to ‘cross-over’ into other creative fields (or other productions, altogether), and meddle with their means. And who can blame them, when their passion is directed by a sense of enthrallment and admiration for the spirit of making, the passion can and will take whatever form the admirable has.

A multidisciplinary artist whom manages to not only produce in multiple creative fields, but garner attention within each, is Hisham Bharoocha.

Bharoocha is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He concentrates on creating music, visual art, and photography. His newest works deal with the melting together of images that happens in the mind when one is meditating, dreaming, day dreaming, or going about their daily lives.

The charming aspect of Bharoocha’s work is piecing all of his different projects together and realizing his personal stylistic undertones run through each. His musical project is known as Soft Circle,and you can listen to one of his tracks below:

Information Can Be Beautiful

Can this be so?

Can information be beautiful, all on its own?

Besides the fact that beauty is inherently a kind of information, we’d like to take a moment to link you to the admiration we find in the blog Information Is Beautiful.

I like to imagine that the world would be a better place if we were able to readily understand the complexities of our collective systems with the same ease and comprehension that we look at an advertisement. I’ve also imagined that the popularity of visualizing data might some how be helping to develop this imagined ideal. [That's a lot of imagining.]

The above image is a piece regarding the myths surrounding the year 2012. And as their post-link states, you should probably “make up your own mind.”
