Secrets Beneath Cities: Sculptures Inspired by Nintendo Games

12 Mar

[ By Steph in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ]

“The underworld is more fun,” says Luke O’Sullivan, the artist who painstakingly crafts stunning cityscape sculptures with intricate subterranean sections inspired by the seemingly never-ending underground worlds in early Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros. Working primarily in wood and salvaged materials, O’Sullivan creates surreal multi-level spaces with platforms , trapdoors, buckets and ladders. It’s easy to imagine Mario jumping from one area to the next inside, popping out of tunnels, racking up mushrooms and avoiding goombas.

“My work is about the intersection of built environments and subterranean systems,” says O’Sullivan in his artist statement. “Through the application of screen-printed drawings on wood, metal and other flat surfaces, I create architecturally based sculptures. Often inspired by dystopian and science fiction films, I combine recognizable architectural forms and impossible buildings to create diorama-esque works.”

The largest piece he’s completed, “Industry, Entropy,” measures ten feet long and took over three years to complete. The artist describes it as a “milestone piece.” This one is wider than it is tall, but others are like individual islands of towering structures that rise high above the surface and plunge deep below it.

Working in a restrained color palette, O’Sullivan keeps the above-ground sections of the cities relatively two-dimensional, hinting that the more detailed and literally well-rounded world beneath it is what’s really important. These subterranean areas seem full of secret functions, each one brimming with mysteries and begging to be explored. If only we could shrink ourselves down to climb around in them ourselves.

Taking a Look at the Nintendo 3DS

17 Oct

Nintendo’s next generation handheld, the 3DS, is here. The box contains the system, an AC charger, a charge cradle, a metal telescoping stylus, a set of Augmented Reality cards and tons of literature. The 3DS can display glasses free stereoscopic 3D on the top screen using a parallax barrier. The effect is like looking into a diorama. New inputs include a really nice analog slide pad and motion sensing, and the resistive touch screen returns. New onboard features include a variety of AR games, a Mii studio, streamlined online friends lists and a 3D camera. The web browser and the digital store are not available at launch. Added horsepower puts the 3DS’s visuals at about Gamecube level, though few of the launch games really strut their stuff.
