Münchener Freiheit is sooo neon
Stagnacy signifies shortfall and change is good. This is what officials from Munich city maybe thought when they decided to color the underground station »Münchener Freiheit« in NEON.
Yellow is the seasonal trend color of 2009… Uhm yes, but my eyes all go funny… I understand that underground stations should look more positive, friendly and bright, but we have to look at our underground station everyday… Neon yellow e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y! Oh my god, this will give me eyestrain.
However, my favourite underground station in Munich is still »Westfriedhof«, which was designed by the german industrial designer Ingo Maurer.
Primal Source / awesome outdoor installation
Holy sh*t! It’s a giant, floating, responsive, colorful, mist-projected installation! Usman Haque created this marvellous piece of media art especially for the Glow 08 (OK, this post IS a little late…), a dusk til dawn festival in Santa Monica. The image, projected on a wall of mist, adjusted its appearance and behaviour as the noise level of the crowd changed. As you might know, anything that makes lots of people scream, chant and cheer totally kicks ass in my opinion. And if it is combined with floating, colorful projections, it’s simply pure awesomeness!
Kudos to Usman, and shame on me for not knowing about the mere existence of Glow.
