wall

Pretty, but terribly difficult to prune.

School is in session!

Milan-based design group Carnovsky created an installation that's a little different than the norm. The group painted three separate wall murals using the primary additive colors (Red, Blue, Green) combined with lights of the same color within the room. Cycling through the lights gives you three entirely different looks in the room as murals become more or less invisible. Check out the views in the gallery below, and more information in the via link!

Ahem To pontificate, a little (or WINtificate, if you will):

What I appreciate about works like these is that it calls into question our traditional understanding of the natural and artificial. The lush foliage resting on the side of the building - shooting upward, contrary to our natural horizontal and horizon-oriented understanding of "The Natural" - creates a juxtaposition between created and un-created space. With this we are reminded of the a priori condition of the urban space we have dominated and controlled - and yet also our uncomfortable co-existence with it. The distinction between subject and object called into question, we move along with our day and admire the architecture for what it is.

Also, what's up with the photographer getting that fire escape stairwell in the shot? Totally ruins the mise en scène.
