Just another reason why I looooove Brooklyn based architecture design studio, Snarkitecture, is this tiny 90 sq. ft. apartment, home to Daniel Arsham (a partner in the company) which is covered with 25,000 ping pong balls. Read more about it here.
Snarkitecture is a collaboration between an artist and architect, and their work is an interdisciplinary mixture of art, design, architecture, performance, lighting, and installation. You can read my previous posts about Snarkitecture here.
Oh. My. God. Snarkitecture has inspired me again. I can't remember how I came across their site, but I really love this little Brooklyn studio Snarkitecture is. If you guys are reading this, let it be known that we are going to collaborate on something some day somewhere when I finish school.
I saw this new project up on their site, that wasn't there the last time I checked. Its called Why Patterns , and this is how they describe it:
A collaboration with choreographer Jonah Bokaer, Why Patterns is a performance commissioned by Dance Works Rotterdam. The visual design emerges from a single ping-pong ball that is introduced into a frame on stage, initiating a series of choreographed games. Unpredictable results trigger events that flood the stage with thousands of balls, which are manipulated by the movements of the dancers as the square frame is collapsed.
This also is what has now become a series of posts on aarboretum about architecture and dance. Click here to read more about this. And here for a more circusy dancing in the air architectural related post. And here if you just are interested in dance.
Concept in progress for an event space in Miami, FL.
Beirut Ballroom, concept in progress in Miami, FL.
I came across these guys - Snarkitecture - and I really like some of their work! They are a collaboration between an artist and an architect, based in Brooklyn, and it seems to be working well. All the photos are taken from their website, here.
