  • Photo gifts for every budget: 2016 Holiday Gift Guides

    It’s not easy shopping for a photographer. We’re notoriously picky, our gear is confusingly named and the difference between something we like and something we don’t can come down to what seem like trivial details. Trust us, if picking camera equipment was easy, we’d be out of work.

    But before you give up and just get a gift card, take a look through our carefully selected holiday gift suggestions, grouped by price range, for the photographer in your life. Don’t worry – we won’t tell anyone if that photographer is actually you.

  • Seeing Space in New Ways: 13 Creative Maps & Navigational Guides

    [ By SA Rogers in Art & Drawing & Digital. ]

    map-art-topographic-3

    With the advancement of technology, the ways in which we perceive information have become increasingly visual, interactive and all around multi-dimensional – so why shouldn’t maps evolve to reflect it? These map concepts, installations and renderings in a variety of materials and forms let navigational data pop off the page into 3D creations, or blend the information with functional objects to tell a story.

    3D Tube Map of London Made of Pipes

    map-art-london-tube-1

    map-art-london-tube-2

    British designer Nick Fraser used a network of copper pipes on a black wall to create a map of London’s tube system, making the nickname literal. To differentiate the different lines, Fraser uses a series of colored washers.

    Neon Subway Lights by Petr Koll

    Subway maps for various unnamed cities are rendered in vivid neon lights by designer Petr Koll for this fun series. What you can’t see in the still images is that the lines light up one at a time and then blink together.

    ‘Philadelphia Explained’ Installation Art by Paula Scher

    map-art-philadeliphia

    map-art-philadelphia-2

    map-art-philadelphia-3

    A hand-drawn map of Philadelphia is fitted to the interior surfaces of a gallery using dimensional modeling, immersing visitors in a navigational experience as “a personal reaction to information overload.” Famed designer Paula Scher worked with students at her alma mater, the Tyler School of Art, to create the installation.

    Rijksmuseum Paper Pathfinder

    map-art-paper-pathfinder-1

    map-art-paper-pathfinder-3

    How do you explain to visitors in clear visuals how they can navigate 8,000 objects spanning 800 years of art spread through 80 individual galleries in the same building? Graphic designer Marjin van Oosten came up with a refreshingly simple analog solution: a pop-up paper model of the building with color-coded and labeled ‘floors.’ It lets you see the whole building at once and physically hold a model of it in your hands to get a better idea of where things are.

    3D Map of Tokyo’s Subway System

    map-art-tokyo-subway-1

    map-art-tokyo-subway-2

    The surprising number of dips and turns in Tokyo’s subway system, hidden from sight, are revealed in this rollercoaster-like model by Takatsugu Kuriyama. Different colored liquids pulse through the various tubes to show movement in each line.

  • Strung Along: Twine Guides Visitors Through Abandonments

    [ By WebUrbanist in Global & Urbex & Parkour. ]

    string tour path planks

    Acting as a minimalist and silent tour guide, lengths of black yarn were carefully suspended to direct guests along a route through the broken walls of a deserted series of tightly-packed structures in Beijing.

    Crafted by reMIX Studio, the intervention was part of a pop-up restaurant experience in which the dinner space was placed at the end of a string of rooms in an abandoned building complex.

    Reprising the same visual theme, ceiling-suspended lights in this dark dining room were suspended from thin black cord as well.

    A modest wood-paneled path was constructed to thread the rubble and refuse of the structure, with parallel and intersecting spiderwebs of twine providing directional indications on the sides and above.

    string abandoned path tour

    The direct trajectory was designed to take people through both interior and exterior spaces, small homes and their private courtyards. Bursting through walls, the journey exposes both the dwellings themselves and the materials of which they were made, giving visitors a unique perspective on the traditional dense Hutong neighborhoods of the city.

    Of their work, the studio writes: “We propose a new connective path that reveals the existing building secrets and tunnelling throughout the architectural body it highlights in few observations points the quality and characteristics of the future intervention. The system of new portals is a succession of points of view that … forces the visitors into an unexpected journey; challenging [the] imagination.”
