A Modern-Day DaVinci Genius?
December 22nd, 2007. Published under art. No Comments.
Theo Jansen, artist, studied science at the University of Delft Holland. The first seven years being a artist he just made paintings. Then he starts a project with a big flying saucer, which could really fly.
It flew over the town of Delft in 1980 and brought the people in the street and the police in commotion. Since about ten years he is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind.
Eventualy he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
Living Camera – Stephen Wiltshire ( autistic )
December 19th, 2007. Published under people. No Comments.
Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not speak his first words “pencil” and “paper” until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. For this film we’re testing the “Living camera” in Rome. (ColourField production)
