Corridors of Power

Luca Zanier's series, Corridors of Power, aims to portray political spaces in a fresh and surprising manner:

Luca Zanier - Corridors of Power

"Most are familiar with a parliamentary hall from the perspective of the spectators tribune, however only a few have seen the space from the physical vantage point of the Chairperson. It is my general interest in policy that inspired me.

This project should show where the important decisions taken by a few people are made. To get the permissions for taking pictures is hard work."

Forbidden Moon

Senryū by Monocle

Despite youthful dreams
I’ll never set foot
on your dead grey soil.

Network

Very effective data visualization animation by Michael Rigley:



"Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network."

Pattern Play

Paintings by Jennifer Seymour:

Jennifer Seymour - Pattern Play

"My artwork documents the beauty of the urban landscape. The city is at equal times serene and chaotic; beautiful in complexity, surprising in intensity. Inspired by observing, wandering, imagining and remembering, these paintings are records of my travels and thoughts. I am fascinated by a reflected view and the intersection of inside and out. The city is always changing, always renewing itself and this persisting fascination remains the focus of my art.

My work begins with photographs I've collected and lived with over time. The photographs are altered and transposed into what becomes a personal view of the city that surrounds me. Photographs are then transferred to maple paneling, becoming a departure point. Charcoal, pastel and thin layers of acrylic glaze find their wayinto the work, altering and enriching the composition. The work is sanded and glazed in successive layers creating a surface which becomes as much a consideration as the subject itself.

Stellar Landscapes

Thomas Ruff's appropriated imagery of space:

I reckon this is the song to go with the images - Roly Porter / Caladan:



"Ruff's 'Cassini' series was influenced by a selection of images found on NASA's public website. The result of a four-year space programme on the part of NASA, exploring Saturn and its outer rings, Ruff has transformed the raw black-and-white prints with interjections of saturated colour."
