Robbie Rowlands

tobiaibot thinks this Melbourne born artist is doing some capital work.
These shots reminds her of another artist champion by the name of Gordon Matta-Clark.

Craft as Gesture; tobiaibot is thankful to have read this stroke of poetic genius. Her approach to image and sculpture making, particularly the photographic blazers in the acute #4 exhibiton is now far more conscious of how she makes and why and the images in her head she has of herself while doing so.

End of an Age of Excess; fundamental reading for any person who would like to be convinced that fashion design is not necessarily all evil, egotistic and environmentally disastrous.

remember this exhibition?

Eyes, Lies & Illusions was at Australian Centre of the Moving Image (ACMI) in 2006-2007.
Thankyou Werner Nekes for your boggling collection of pre-cinematic history in which art and entertainment, science and magic, technology and optical trickery are intertwined.

It marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship between tobiaibot and visual perceptions.

felice varini

Felice Varini is an artist who paints on or in architectural elements in a way that creates the illusion of a flat pattern or object where one does not actually exist.

The illusion is visible only from one specific angle; when viewed from other points, you can see the fascinating series of markings that make up the piece. He paints on the outside of buildings, inside of rooms, in corridors, across walls, skylights, doors and archways, often creating the illusion of a physical object in space in the middle of an open area. His patterns are frequently optical patterns themselves, creating a sensation of Op Art by way of Christo.

At first it looks as if the pattern might be Photoshopped onto the image until you see the views from other perspectives; then the remarkable finesse with which Varini has created his patterned spaces becomes apparent.

This work in particular is remarkable for it’s scale in which he creates his illusory pattern across the space of a city street using painted markings on multiple buildings.
