sun-poem-11An extensive exploration with shadows, the One Day Poem Pavilion demonstrates the poetic, transitory, site-sensitive and time-based nature of light and shadow.

Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion’s surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem.

The movie night starts at 8pm and is FREE and open to the public with sodas provided by Izze and popcorn courtesy of Snack Bar.

WILD COMBINATION is director Matt Wolf’s visually absorbing portrait of the seminal avant-garde composer, singer-songwriter, cellist, and disco producer Arthur Russell. Arthur prolifically created music that spanned both pop and the transcendent possibilities of abstract art. Now, over fifteen years since his passing, Arthur’s work is being embraced by new and ever growing audiences. Wolf incorporates rare archival footage and commentary from Arthur’s family, friends, and closest collaborators, including Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg to tell this poignant and important story.

thunderheist - jerk it from thatgo on Vimeo.

Baltimore meets the ’80s on Thunderheist’s Jerk It EP, which has been garnering the Toronto-based duo much attention lately. The pair recently signed to Big Dada, and they’ve also released this video for the EP’s title track. Appropriately, it features tanned and toned ladies decked out in chains and spandex and dancing to the beat. The chicken that shows up is a little more inexplicable.

Media Plaza - Utrecht, Netherlands

123dv Architectuur & Consult is yet another award-winning — and strangely numbered — multi-disciplinary Dutch design firm. The Rotterdam-based 123dv practices architecture and interior design in a wide range of areas from residential to commercial buildings, from small-scale to huge projects.
 
A commercial project, the new wing of the Media Plaza in Utrecht, was launched with a high-tech party in October.
 
The Media Plaza is one of many conference and exhibition venues under the wings of the venerable Dutch Fair organization JaarBeurs.

Image
 
The Media Plaza’s new expansion involves eight meeting rooms and a main congress hall that accommodates 700 people. The space 123dv created is an incredibly flexible blank-canvas for seminars, conferences and corporate events.
 
The design emphasis is on various light sources and different projection methods. The new wing is accessible via two tunnels in which 123dv designed all surfaces to be canvases for projection, with floors and walls reacting to the movement of people.

Image
 
Light and projection are the main features also in the foyer and in the meeting rooms. To create different moods or to emphasize event-appropriate colors, the LED-light walls in the foyer and the fabric ceilings in the session rooms can change color.
 
123dv outfitted the main hall with a 100% transparent ETFE (ethylenetetrafluoroethylene) roof to mimic the feel of an ancient amphitheatre — a meeting under the open sky. The completely white congress hall seems an ideal backdrop for events where the organizer can really allow its colors or products to pop. We can already picture the possibilities for a fashion runway show. - Tuija Seipell
