The Mobile Mobile

"Mobile Mobile - an interactive installation by James Theophane

Brief: Create a Christmas experience that actively demonstrated Lost Boys core value of collaboration.

We took this as an opportunity to reinterpret the Christmas tree and its role as the traditional focal point for a communal space. 'Mobile Mobile' is a six metre circumference interactive sculpture, and signature piece for the entrance of the Brick Lane studio.

Mobile Mobile upcycles fifty old agency cell phones (available after an agency-wide upgrade just two months prior). Each phone is individually addressed by a computer to cofunction and create a choral arrangement. Assigning each phone a tone, the mass is transformed into an aural form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting for onlookers."

Just amazing. Recycling up to 50 phones to make an installation creating to the tune of "Carols of the Bells".

Origami

Origami, My favourite past time hobby.

Though I've been folding since young, I had not reached the staged where I can create my own art.

This is the latest work I've done.

It should had been done in white and in crepe but I couldn't get it.
The orchid is the current most challenging flower piece model ever since the kawasaki's rose model (shown below) years ago.

Of course there are many great "origamist" out there creating amazing origami..
I guess one of the best (and youngest!) is Satoshi Kamiya!
He is really one fantastic "origamist". His creation is superb with attention to small details.
Just see few of his creations on youtube. Wait till you see the end of video at 6:46!
You'll be shock. And yes, it's "pure" origami; folding from ONE untrimmed square paper.

For those who had not seen too, I got the profession images from school.

This are 2 of the 3 sculptures done for my graduation back in June. (the other one I'm trying to find a good pics.)

You do not see string attached, and nope there isn't any. this is not photoshop-ed, and its is a full sculpture.

The concepts deals mainly illusion, and the way I play with visual perception. Questioning the ideology of hierarchy.

I twisted the roles of my subject and given it a quirky situation. Rope, they are strong images in my mind and plays a part in my imagination and dream, soft yet strong; they are used as a supporting role towards other subjects. Its only important when you had other objects to be used with. By itself, you can say it have no objective and useless.

Now I contrast between the rope and the chain and(or) the wood, I render the rope equal objective and new role as the rope mysteriously sat still in space and tasting the eyes of audiences attentions.

Which is holding which now?

This questions also the way we behave; can we be driven by the reality of dreams or the other way around; our dream is driven by our reality around us? Can we express feelings through the sophistication of scientific proportion of formulas?
