Since we have been working with paper for the past week, I thought Peter Callesen would be a relevant artist to show alongside Project 4. He works mainly with plain A4 paper and creates intricate, unbelievably detailed papers cutouts:

Here’s a short clip that shows how the people that create some of the most famous, revolutionary animated movies are really kids at heart. Although they use CGI, Pixar still focuses primarily on the ability to build story boards and create a moving image through these sequential pictures.
“I really believe that if you’re having fun making the movie, it’s going to appear on the screen”

Caspar Lam and YuJune Park created this captivating installation which presents the alphabet in a topographic- like style. The height of the letter forms is determined by how often the letters are used in colloquial speech. The smooth transitions between each letter map the rhythmic ebb and flow of spoken English, making our speech visible and allowing for any combination of letters to be seamlessly connected.
Although this is an absolutely pointless website, it does makes you think about the importance of an aesthetically pleasing interface, and what exactly causes it to be pleasing. Go take a look (be warned, it might give you a headache).
Moose Benjamin Curtis isn’t just a regular street artist. His graffiti takes up entire walls and public spaces, but no paint is involved. Instead, he scrubs away at the dirt and creates patterns and images out of the contrast between clean and dirty.
This cool “reverse graffiti” incorporates negative space, but the most interesting part of his work is the explanation he gives when policemen try to arrest him for vandalization.
“The marks were made by pollution. If they wanted to arrest the perpetrators of this crime, they should get with the people who had created this pollution.”
Hi guys,
I came across the artist Paul Landacre and thought that his work went alongside our project pretty well. He was actually a print maker, but was responsible for making wood engravings a recognized art form in twentieth century America; his work is now celebrated for its “technical virtuosity” and “mastery of design”. 
His prints, although designs of simple landscapes, contain a sense of strength and power through the direction and length of the cuttings. The lines formed act as vectors to help lead our eye to specific points in the design, and to provide powerful contrast throughout.

Tang Yao Hoong is a Malaysian graphic designer who uses negative space to create simple yet powerful pieces of work. His images, although at first appearing slightly sparse, are filled with meaning and regularly encompass political and cultural commentaries.
