“Captain EO” back at Disneyland!

Posted in Movies by pipwonder on January 4, 2010

The theme park announced plans to bring back the 3-D sci-fi film starring Michael Jackson next February, over 23 years after the attraction debuted in Anaheim, Calif. The 17-minute film starred the late King of Pop as a singing-and-dancing intergalactic commander. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and executive produced by George Lucas.

In the film, Jackson leads a goofy alien and robot crew as they battle a wicked queen played by Anjelica Huston. “Captain EO” originally opened in Disneyland’s Tommorrowland in 1986 and ran for more than a decade. Identical versions later opened at other Disney theme parks. They were all closed by 1998.

A wonderful set of illustrations entitled ICON Shoes by Spanish illustrator Rbelion. Everyone loves Dunks. Wish I could get some lif-size Dunks to paint on…maybe even sleep in one.

BUMPS: Sako Architects

Posted in Architecture, Art by pipwonder on December 21, 2009

Sako Architects have designed the BUMPS building complex in Beijing, China.

The complex is a mixed-use residential and commercial development, which will be a landmark that leads to further development in the surrounding area of the city. The building is characterized by it’s constant variation between the different levels.  Every two floors are set as a unit, and every unit is staggered by 2 metres horizontally, with the resulting set-back areas being used for terraces. Kind of looks like little dice!

A series of photographs entitled Exploded by American photographer Adam Voorhis. An interesting visual experience, which shows the elements and the inner workings of different objects. Always wanted to see the inside of an Etch-a-Sketch.
