The Balls Suit Was Shortlisted!

noreply@blogger.com (D Haim) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:30:00 +0000

Very Exciting News!
Two years ago my Danish buddy Learke and I set out to create a suit: A beaded, braided, balls suit. Little did we know what journey this magical suit of balls would take us on. I was informed last week that the video was shortlisted for Youtube/Play a Biennial of creative videos in collaboration with Youtube, Google, and Guggenheim, New York. 23,000 videos were submitted from 91 countries and our video made the top 125. Now a special jury is currently deciding which 20 videos will make it to the Guggenheim in October for a special celebration. Lets hope that balls suit journey continues to New York!

I came across these chairs and thought they were another great example of "the common wound" (like found) about how often creative friends will be working on projects and ideas without each other in their studios perhaps years or oceans apart and how we are all working and thinking in similar languages and playing fields. I was so happy to see these are by a friend from RISD, Jessica Carnevale, at Carnevale Studios. You can currently see Carnevale Studios at ICFF 2010 in NYC.

Good Times

A little shout out to Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski. I really like what they both are wearing and the set behind them. Made me a bit nostalgic when I found these, boy did I love Saved by the Bell growing up.

Glitter Trail at the 2010 Rainbow Gathering..

noreply@blogger.com (RenataSparkles) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:41:00 +0000

The awesome picture of the northern lights tipis (obviously) inspires thoughts of the Rainbow Gathering.. since it will be in the northeast/east this summer (rumors of various eastern states have been floating, most recently I've heard Tennessee!!), it will be convenient for a lot of you! and others should make it convenient. I felt a little twinkle of The Glitter Tribe presence there.. lets make it happen!

Here are some moments from last year's gathering in New Mexico:

The Rainbow Gathering (for me) is a wonderful experiential example of the new earth paradigm we are transitioning into.. Lets make the future part of the now, while incorporating great ideas from the past. It is held in a different national forest each summer, the climax of the gathering is always July 4th, although many people are there for weeks or months before that. The Gathering is open to anyone and everyone, the motto being: Welcome Home. welcomehome.org is the (un)official website of the Gathering. The Gathering feels a lot like a city of tribes and families. There are many camps and kitchens and the entire operation functions through service, loving, giving, and trade (without money).

Welcome Home.

Northern Lights TIPI of LOVE!!!

House of Organic fashion show

Collaborating with this awesome group of talented and conscious designers was truly an amazing and inspiring experience! (my contributions are the necklaces, with the exception of one, which was made by the talented girls at Eko-Lab)

A great gallery of images and article about the House of Organic show. From the wonderful Ecouterre. http://www.ecouterre.com/12642/ekovaruhusets-fallwinter-2010-collection-exemplifies-bohemian-spirit/

artist cao fei: avatars as experiential art

noreply@blogger.com (RenataSparkles) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:35:00 +0000

I have been thinking a lot lately about reality creation, and the various expressers (artists, writers, scientists, creators of all kinds) who work with that big idea. Cao Fei's conclusion to her starting question about avatar interaction is that the created reality (in this case the virtual reality of 2nd life) ultimately presents the same problems as our reality does. I am interested in finding realities that ultimately free us from our perceived limitations, thus allowing our reality to expand into places we currently consider 'impossible.'

Please comment and share any links or examples of reality creators you admire.. more from me coming soon!

Please also check out the site for the PBS program Art:21 there is so much great stuff on there, including videos of entire episodes. You can also stream episodes from older seasons on Netflix.

Sparkle On.

Amarnath found this incredible jacket on his friends land and brought it home. We are going to try and keep it alive. This maybe a direction I am heading for many future projects. It's so beautiful!

and also From the Priestess of Glitter...

(via andy warhol)

Many of the Factory regulars hung out at the 3rd Street apartment, having “Glitter Festivals”. Stanley Amos, who was sub-leasing the place from Tom O’Horgan, kept a drawer full of glitter and half the people there would drop acid and the other half “would be paranoid on amphetamine, staring at the half that was tripping on LSD,” according to Warhol.

Thanks to Luci Daum for these awesome GT pics from with mid-west. You may recognize Chicago's Millenium park, where the security gaurds were not into the glitter like we are. The last photo is from Luci's birthplace of Madison Wisconsin. As always keep spreading the love!

Long Overdue

noreply@blogger.com (D Haim) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:55:00 +0000

I made this video last year with one of my closest friends, Laerke Hooge Andersen, an awesome Danish pixie I study with in Central Saint Martins. This project was a part of our Biomimicry project where our textiles had to mimic nature in some behavioral way. We were inspired by bioluminescent sea creatures and mushrooms. We were also looking at the human body as a place to fuse these ideas for a wearable costume/dance piece. We created the costume using recycled tights, rice , beads, and ribbons. Enjoy the beaded, braided, balls suit dance. ( remember to watch at 480p)

Calling All Doodlers!

I have been guest blogging for the month of January on Doodlers Anonymous, a really great hub for spontaneous drawing, illustration, graffiti, graphic design, and oh so much more. I highly suggest checking it out and going through the archives, some really beautiful artists doing beautiful work. Thanks to my dear friend Rony Tako who is the creator and one of four facilitators for this fantastic site. A wonderful source of inspiration.

sometimes the best way to rid yourself of negative emotion is to create something beautiful from it.
