Cinématique

Two souls dwell inside Adrien Mondot; that of the computer scientist and that of the juggler. In Cinématique these souls guarantee a performance unrivalled in its beauty. Dance, juggling, video art and music unite in an astonishing way. Cinématique is a fascinating, hybrid spectacle of dance, circus and visual performance. Noorderzon, August 23, 24, 25.

Little people

http://www.holeinthedyke.com/images/hitd-news/miniature_oldenburg.jpg
Little People is a tiny street art project by Slinkachu. Little handpainted people are left on the streets in London. Like these two, who are checking out what appears to be a giant Claes Oldenburg. It is both a street art installation and a photography project.

Chris Jordan constructed this image from the names of all the organizations in the world that are devoted to peace, environmental stewardship, social justice, and the preservation of diverse and indigenous cultures. A million names in total is the conservative estimate for the actual number of such organizations worldwide. Craig S. Kaplan wrote the program that assembled all the names into the image you see here. Click the image to zoom in.

Babel Tales Addendum

http://www.holeinthedyke.com/images/hitd-news/Babel_tales1.jpg http://www.holeinthedyke.com/images/hitd-news/Babel_tales2.jpg http://www.holeinthedyke.com/images/hitd-news/Babel_tales3.jpg
Peter Funch’s works are documents of moments that never existed, as they are composed of thousands of frozen moments taken over the duration of several weeks for each work. By shooting at the exact same position over a period of time, Funch is able to superimpose images, and thereby he creates a fictional work based on documentary photography. After his contribution to Dream Amsterdam in 2009 his most recent 'Babel Tales Addendum', comprised of 41 monumental panoramic works, is the result of a 4 year long exploration of the streets of New York.
