MEME

Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition is happening this weekend and just for kicks I added some typography to a digital image I made earlier this week. This event is turning out to be quite the festival bringing in some top name acts in the industry. Check out this years event this weekend here in Winnipeg. http://www.memetic.ca

It Does Not Happen To Everyone

I created this graphic just after the MEME poster. I've always loved colorful geometric design work such as in charts and diagrams from my school day textbooks, but I think it goes even further into my background from being Ukrainian and growing with Ukrainian Easter Eggs.

Mondrian Gallery

As I promised last week, here are a few more stereoscopes for your cross-eyed viewing pleasure!

Piet Mondrian is one of my favorite artists. He's famous for his compositions in red, yellow and blue. (He hated green.) He was an expressionist painter at first, then through a period of 25 years he distilled his subject matter to its simplest form. He then spent the next 25 years painting variations of his red, yellow and blue compositions. I cannot help myself but to love his dedication and work. Here are a few compositions I came up with to play with my stereoscope eyes.

Look at last weeks post if you need the viewing instructions.

Hemispheres

I like to exercise both sides of my brain. The rational and the abstract. The tidy and the messy. I am the worker and the dreamer. Often, the work I create from one moment to the next will be very different from each other and I really enjoy this. It allows me to have a much broader experience of the world. At times when I don't get out much in Winnipeg winters, I need to create a stimulus that allows me to see the world through various artistic disciplines.   

IN STEREO

All right kiddies. Free Inside! 

.....or rather Free inside your mind. Because today in the Nakfactorium we have some 3D eye boggling to do. No special glasses are required. Just simple cross-eyed concentration. It's easy!

Here's how to do it.

1. Click beside the image to get a larger view.

2. Place your finger between the images.

3. Slowly move your finger towards you while keeping a focus on your finger. A third image will slowly grow between the two images.

4. When this middle image is the same size as the other two, stop moving your finger towards you. 

5. Remember to keep your focus on that distance where you finger is and do not change your focus to the image behind it.

6. Move your hand quickly away (don't change your focus ) and that middle image will become three-dimensionally clear!

Here are three to get you going. Write me for more!
