Manfred Mohr’s Youtube Channel

A collection of videos featuring works by pioneering computer artist Manfred Mohr, many dating back to the early 70’s. Also includes interviews and lectures:

Manfred Mohr is considered a pioneer of digital art. After discovering Prof. Max Bense’s information aesthetics in the early 1960’s, Mohr’s artistic thinking was radically changed. Within a few years, his art transformed from abstract expressionism to computer generated algorithmic geometry. Encouraged by the computer music composer Pierre Barbaud whom he met in 1967, Mohr programmed his first computer drawings in 1969.

Earlier this year Beijing artist Li Hongbo opened his first solo exhibition titled, Pure White Paper in Australia at Dominik Mersch Gallery featuring his flexible sculptures made of common paper. Each sculpture is comprised of thousands of sheets of paper manually glued on top of each other in a sort of honeycomb composition allowing the layers to be pulled and stretched like an accordion. These paper stacks are then cut and sculpted using an electric saw into figurative forms. See the video of the Pure White Paperexhibition below!

Cao Hui

Chinese artist Cao Hui challenges conventional perception of inanimate objects by re-imagining their innards as something more than the inorganic materials used to compose their exterior. When fully assembled, the artist’s modular sculptures appear to be like any other finely crafted structure, but it’s upon dismantling the piece that one notices the insides replicating the color and texture of raw meat. Essentially, Cao gives life to a dead object with his constructed illusion, which is actually made of resin.

Glass Viruses by Luke Jerram

The devil’s in the details, or at least tiny microscopic bacteria are, which Luke recreates precisely in glass and at about 1,000,000 times the size. Everything from SARS to e.coli and HIV is represented in these stunning see-through pieces, giving you an up close and maybe too personal view of just how sinister-looking these bugs can be.
