Voile d'anarchie à Moscou

Présentée au théâtre de la Création contemporaine pour la biennale de Moscou, "Chaos Theory" est la toute dernière installation interactive du duo français d'Electronic Shadow (é:183). L’œuvre se présente sous la forme d’un long voile de soie qui descend d’un mur jusqu’au sol dans une pièce sombre, comme la portion d’une bande infinie qui sortirait des limites de la pièce. Sur le voile sont projetées des images de fluides et d’éléments naturels, comme une rivière magique qui coule vers le sol. Lorsque le visiteur s’approche du dispositif, sa présence perturbe de façon exponentielle le voile qui évolue grâce à la ventilation et entame ainsi une danse envoûtante tandis que les images s’accélèrent, se déforment puis se transforment pour le faire basculer dans une autre dimension et un nouvel état.

Cut&Paste International Digital Design Competition 2011: Call for Competitors

Adobe and Cut&Paste announced the call for competitors for the Cut&Paste signature event, the Digital Design Tournament. This "Iron Chef" for design tour is held live in 12 cities worldwide.

Cut&Paste is a social arena for showcasing design talent and creating opportunities for designers - a global movement of artists, firms and media working to strengthen creative networks through events and local support.

Cut&Paste's sponsor Adobe's Senior Worldwide Design Evangelist Rufus Deuchler has outlined a number of key techniques that will give competitors an edge in the competition. Available at adobe.com/go/cutandpaste, Rufus' video tips focus on how to create spectacular designs quickly and efficiently in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, which is crucial for competitors working under the extremely tight deadlines the tournament imposes.

Sparkawards

THE NEW SPARK:PRO AWARDS

Exciting news–The Spark Design & Architecture Awards, has been divided into two competitions. "Spark Pro," is now focused on work that has been built (produced, realized or in pre-production). This competition no longer includes design work in the idea or proposal stage, which now can be found in a dedicated competition called Spark:Concept. Both competitions continue Spark's core mission, Criteria and Categories.

Thanks for your interest in Spark. Please tell your friends—there's a new home for Good Design!

OVERVIEW
The New Spark Awards will divide the former competition into two new awards series for design entries, determined by their degree of “realization.” This division will allow for greater focus and dedicated resources for each type of design. Spark is international in scope and accepts entries from all designers, everywhere.

a. Spark Concept Design, for work that is essentially an idea
b. The Spark Design & Architecture Awards, for work that has been built (produced, realized or in pre-production)

TIMEFRAME
Spark:Pro will continue on the annual schedule established in 2008, with a Call For Entry February 1, and final deadline in late September. Jury and Winners Celebration will be held in October.

PROCESS
The Competition will be judged along the same lines as earlier Spark events—same Criteria, Categories, website and branding. They are multi-disciplinary and multi-level. Spark is a two-phase competition. There are two pricing tiers–one for companies and professional designers, and a second for NGO's and non-profit organizations (Status must be provable with to win a Spark).

Spark juries are new for each competition, international and come from across the spectrum of design disciplines, media, educators and experts.

Entrants will initially upload three low-resolution, 72 DPI images of their work, plus Finalists will send one high-resolution (300 DPI) image sized to fit an A0 board (sent to our Hi-res partner-site). Entrants will also supply a short description (synopsis) of up to 125 words, and a longer description of up to 1,000 words. All entries and their descriptions must be in English.

The Phase One jury will review entries at each deadline (Early and Standard). Status will be announced on a rolling basis, as judgments are determined. Finalists will pay a "hanging fee" to proceed in the competition, and send their work (or high-quality display board) to the Jury site in San Francisco, California.
