Metafoil, 2008 by Pae White

Made as a curtain for a theater, the shiny threads are machine woven to create the blown-up photograph of crumpled foil.

"Loomscapes"

Tapestries by Christy Matson of stitched-together screenshots from the LucasArts game Loom.

Loomscapes is inspired both by the tradition of tapestry weaving and contemporary video game culture. Each weaving is composed of screen shots taken from LucasArts’ early 1990’s computer game, aptly named LOOM, to create “digital landscapes” that are curiously absent of narrative (unlike the well-known Bayeux Tapestry of France, a 230-foot long cloth made 1066 that depicts the battle of Hastings).

"The wave action demonstrated here is in "real time" which means that a NOAA monitoring station at Woods Hole, Massachusetts transfers instantaneous wave heights via modem to Silver Spring where they are transferred to the wave pool. The wave action is produced by a pneumatic pulse generated by a large blower and computer controlled valve located in the parking garage under the site. The actual waves vary in height from 6 to 24 inches. When they hit the coastline the waves create 12' high surf."

Pantone has announced the color of the year for 2009 will be Mimosa, aka Pantone 14-0848.

"The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance.”

"Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”
