17th Biennale of Sydney

On a random walk around the city I took a ferry to Cockatoo island where currently the whole place has been overtaken for 17th Biennale. Imagine if the Tate Modern took over a island and filled it with great work and video pieces this would be it. A brilliant location, Cockatoo island used to be a ship factory and convict prison, so all the buildings are pretty old and huge! Great place for photography, with all the old rusting tools still where they were left.
The pictures above were taken with Hipstamatic on the iPhone, which is becoming one of my fave apps!

Woo Hoo I’m in Sydney!

After months of planning I’m finally here! Can’t wait to head north up the east coast and see what this vast and great country has to offer!

This is what my average day on the mac looks like. Mousepath tracks the movement of your mouse and produces cool visuals like these. Next time I’ve got a heavy day of Flash/After Effects I’m going to run it again and see if theres a clear view of my mouse going back and forth along the timeline.

Wu-Tang Vs The Beatles

This is by far one of my fave mashups. Way way better than the Grey Album (The Beatles White Album + Jay Z’s Black Album). Best of all you can download it for free at the link below. Enjoy.

The Endless Chair

Recently I’ve started to find the beauty of well designed chairs / furniture. This caught my eye, a sorta M.C. Escher’esq inspired design. Though for a very cool chair like that they have a shockingly terrible flash site.
