Nils Guadagnin – Back To The Future II Hoverboard

July 1, 2010 |  by Joe  |  art  |  No Comments


Back to the Future II Hoverboard made by french artist Nils Guadagnin. Just two days ago I was talking to my a buddy of mine about how great it would be for someone to recreate the Back to the Future II Hoverboard and what do I stumbleupon today? For anybody that ever saw Back to the Future II and hoped that those hover boards were real, this is a dream come true.

“The Hoverboard is a project born in 2008 for an exhibition named “Back To the future”. This work is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air. In the making of this work, I was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it’s a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.”- Nils Guadagnin

Cartoon Character Skeletons

May 7, 2010 |  by Joe  |  art  |  No Comments


Animatus Series by Hyung Koo Lee.
Hyung Koo Lee created skeleton sculptures of our favorite cartoons growing up. He poses these characters in mid movement bringing new life to the dead bodies. Bringing the ordinary 2D characters into a real life 3D environment, we can analyze the structure and physical forms of our beloved animated characters through these sculptures. Using a mix of real animal bones and synthetic materials to create this visualization is really quite remarkable.
Try to guess which each of the characters are who before scrolling down.

Lee restores the real shape of characters like Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Coyote and classifies these creatures into Latin scientific names according to the biological categorization hence combines it with ‘Animatus’ a Greek world referring to ‘Breathe life into something’ and ‘make enliven’. -artinasia
