As If It Were Already Here is an installation by Janet Echelmen comprising of one hundred miles of twine suspended above Boston. It moves with the wind to create an undulating effect and due to sensors detecting tension, it glows from projected lights.

Dreamy and pop-art like at the same time. Love the lemons...

Possibly the only reason I'd like to go to Monaco. It's a good reason.

Pencil Stencil

I’m loving this self promotional, tactile typography by Hilka Riba & Zoltán Riba of Hungary. The 3D interpretation of the Grafixd logo, was made from a stack of pencils glued together which were sliced into layers and then shaped into the logo letters with a router. 

As self initiated projects go, this one’s a winner – taking the design community by storm. I particularly like the edges where the pencil has been cut though the middle to reveal the coloured lead. I just want to run my fingers over the surface.

I've got some jewellery just like this too!

Spin. A Google Chrome experiment by Rodolphe Delapierre that lets you play with spinning colours. Be warned, it's totally hypnotic. (He's also worked out how to control the weather. Clever guy.)

It looks like a strange trick of the light but it's actually ribbons. Inspired.

Photographer Matt Molloy uses a special 'timestack' technique (hundreds of time-lapse sequences of sun sets and clouds, digitally stacked to reveal gradients of colour) to create these astounding images. There's something of the French Impressionists about this style (particularly reminiscent of the brushstrokes of Monet's sunsets).

When Victorian architecture and an '80s computer game collide...

This is Chromolocomotion by David Batchelor at Terrace Wires, otherwise known as the top floor of St Pancras International Station. 

These Perspex shards hang over soon to depart, or newly arrived, Eurostar passengers, creating an explosion of colour in the Grand Terrace. It brings to mind a stained-glass window and an over-sized game of Tetris - I love it.

Handpainted Words of Welcome.

London’s Southbank Centre was brightened up with a splash of sunny colour by the Alchemy Festival, with a significant chunk coming from the creativity of Hanif Kureshi and Painter Shabbu (Akhlaq Aahmad) who worked in situ on this impressive hand painted graphic artwork.

Taking influence from the typography of hand painted street signs seen across India, they took the opportunity to ‘Welcome’ visitors in a range of languages derived from the region. 

I love the the hand rendered 3d treatments and colour choices that were being poured into the display; a great counterpoint to the mute flat grey of the surround brutalist architecture, and one that I would suggest gets retained!

You can find out more about Hanif and Akhlaq at over at handpaintedtype.com, a project dedicated to preserving the rich design heritage and typographic practices of India’s street painters. 

The festival has ended now, but SBC’s event page for this display can be found at southbankcentre.co.uk.

I love the vivid colours splashed across these messages.
