Chinese demolition

If you are going to demolish a building ensure you plan it carefully or the shit will hit the fan !

The demolition failed due to technical reasons, the China Daily reported. Experts had intended for the building to break in to two parts – but the rest of the experiment had, clearly, gone awry.

Graphical Art through gaming history [pac-man]

Came across this article by Stephen Totilo who recently took a trip to see the work of early 20th century painter Vasily Kandinsky. He descibed ” There are plenty of painters who developed their style differently. Not all veered toward abstraction. But walking past Kandinsky’s life’s work, walking through it chronologically, watching the development of his style and interests, I couldn’t help but think I was seeing the “progress” of video game graphics in reverse.
On the lowest level, at Kandinsky’s earliest work, I saw the closest things in the exhibition to a Gears of War or God of War.
At the top of my spiral journey, I saw Pac-Mans and Centipedes”. Article

I most certainly remember the early years of electronic gaming especially Pak-man, i suppose you could even go back to some of the original black and white games ‘ Pong ‘ strange to think that these images were classified as art but looking back some of the game footage was creative considering the technology.

Kandinsky

ioneer of abstract art and eminent aesthetic theorist, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) broke new ground in painting in the first decades of the twentieth century. His seminal pre–World War I treatise Über das Geistige in der Kunst (On the Spiritual in Art), published in Munich in December 1911, lays out his program for developing an art independent of one’s observations of the external world. In this and other texts, as well as his art, Kandinsky strove to use abstraction to give painting the freedom from nature that he admired in music. His discovery of a new subject matter based solely on the artist’s “inner necessity” occupied him throughout his life. via http://www.guggenheim.org

Top Gear’s Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust featured in Autopia poll

It’s hard to believe just 10 years ago automakers were working double-time to churn out the biggest SUVs consumers could stuff into their garages. Bigger was better, fuel economy be damned. Why worry when gas was less than a buck-and-a-half a gallon and few people knew about, let alone cared about, global warming?

Last week we laid out our 10 best cars of the decade. We took a slightly different approach to that old moto-journo chestnut, opting to chose cars that represent a technological or ideological step forward.

Van by name and Van by nature Caravan man goes green!

Don’t take your caravan to the country, let the caravan bring the country to you. Caravan by Kevin Van Braak is customised caravan that opens out to provide a grassy area of calm to wherever it’s situated. With our environment becoming increasingly more concrete and green spaces disappearing rapidly, Caravan can bring a touch of country living to anywhere it’s needed.

Mr Van Braak, from Amsterdam, bought a 1976 Constructam Caravan, stripped out the inside and cut it in half so it would open flat to reveal a grassed area capable of seating 15 people.

He said: ‘My caravan appears to be no different from any other caravan when it is pulled behind a car but when opened it manifests itself as an artificial garden, park or camping sight.’
