Sound Architectures by Zimoun

Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun’s minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.

Box Demo by Gmunk

While collaborating with the insanely mad geniuses at Bot & Dolly in beautiful San Francisco, munkowitz was tasked to Design Direct a truly unique piece called BOX.. The piece was originally supposed to function as a Technology Demo, but munkowitz and the team quickly realized it’s visual potential and transformed it into a Design and Performance Piece.
The resulting short film is a one-of-a-kind visual and technological achievement due to the very special combination of talent and gear behind the doors of the B&D facility, and was received throughout the world with unexpected accolades and exposure – all due to the intense amount of love and passion poured into the project.

Magic Carpet by Daniel Wurtzel

Wurtzel is more of a magician than an artists. His art is about “transform(ing) ordinary matter into something extraordinary,” as per the personal statement on his website says. His most famous pieces propell aerodynamic materials such as lightweight fabric, flower petals, and Styrofoam using fans and other air devises. In his work Magic Carpet (2011) a red fabric seems to magically float in the center of the room. The cloth is actually held in place by air currents created by eight fans. Music from the film ‘American Beauty – Plastic Bag Theme’ (See Plastic Bag Scene)
