The piece consisted of 28 cords stretched from the ceiling to the floor below, each associated with a line of text from a poem about a woman’s worth. By plucking and pulling on the cords, visitors could release sinuous clouds of letters and billowing ribbons, projected on the opposite wall. The harp was a unique visual instrument that struck a balance between legibility, aesthetic beauty, and interactivity.

Inside Out: The Art of Vesna Jovanovic

The art of science is in full bloom in the multimedia drawings of Vesna Jovanovic. Jovanovic, a visual artist based in Chicago, creates mysterious and complex images in which human organs, plants, and other organic shapes emerge out of abstract inky pools. Invoking the phenomenon of pareidolia, or the perception of meaningful forms from random stimuli (think Rorschach blots), Jovanovic typically begins her drawings by spilling ink on various 2-D media, including paper and Yupo (a polypropylene-based paper). In response to the shapes created by the ink, she draws in new elements to create a detailed and cohesive composition: cilia-like hairs sprout from shadowy watermarks; intestine-like tubes snake around a rivulet of ink; dividing cells blossom out of blotchy, reddish stains.

Overall, Jovanovic’s work reflects her interest in the broader question of what it means to have a body in an age of dizzying technological advancement and scientific discovery. Her work is a striking montage of the physical and the ephemeral: far from traditional medical illustration, Jovanovic’s compositions are thoughtful and poetic reflections on our relationship with nature and the human form.

Given her background in both visual art and chemistry, Jovanovic’s fascination with the intersection of art and science seems a natural fit. In addition to informing her drawings, her interest in science has tinged other aspects of her work, including her photography and ceramics practices. Vesna Jovanovic is currently completing a residency at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago. To see more of her work, go to her website , and her fascinating blog, Traces.

(top) [via @motutech] I really like the back-lit MOTU booth. For some NAMM attendees, this was their first brand impression. <EDIT> Better angle of the logo: https://twitter.com/motutech/status/427192462453387265 </EDIT>

(bottom two) [via @motutech] Check out the product display desk. The rack-mountable items are in a display rack and the table top items are next to laptop-looking-rectangles of product info. Not to lean too much towards skeuomorphism, but making the 3d models fit in a virtual rack on a products page might just work. It gives a sense of scale and context to the use of the product.

This is the TOOL IN CONTEXT. Reminiscent of Lulu’s photos. Lots of depth in each photo. Consistent placement. All the settings are places that inspire creativity.

Aphex Twin’s cover for Ambient Works looks a lot like utthita parsvottanasana. 

Nice illustrator project idea…
