Boris's villains and happy freaks

Love Boris’s villains and happy freaks, as he describes his imaginary world! Boris Pramatarov

The Ulm SchoolDesign Systems at DHUB focuses on the design of systems, illustrated with projects in visual communication, interior design, architecture and user interface design. In the 50’s, the Ulm School focused on exploring form within a system and design in relationship to technology and industry. 

Among my favorites were Hans Gugelot’s Sistema de mobilari M125, Otl Aicher pictograms for the Munich Olympic games, Susan Kare’s interface graphics for Apple Macintosh.

I was disappointed however with the exhibition signage. The title graphics aligned to the bottom of the pieces, in inappropriate weight on gray background, were quite difficult to read.  
On view until 20.05.2012 at Espai 0, DHUB, (Montcada, 12), more info.

These stunning photographs are of Golden Fireflies in Japan! This series captures the fireflies in long exposure as they mate after thunderstorms.

I liked the nativity scene in Barcelona! I expected yet another wondrous kitschy take on the account of the birth of Jesus, but what a pleasant surprise! Bones Festes!


My friends Irina and Bobi of Arch-i-Tech, recently worked on a 3d mapping show for the 10th Anniversary of Hilton Hotel in Sofia. I thought they did a great job and asked Bobi, who was in charge of the project, for more details:

On the evening of 10.11.2011 the 10-years old open-book-like building in the center of Sofia was again “opened” with light 3d mapping show and fireworks. Past, Present and Future – the guiding line - with the desired by the client Wow effect, without being boring, and without the clichés of 3D mapping were the leading aspects by which Arch-i-Tech Ltd. prepared the concept and designed the lighting show. The Past – that is how and the foyer/Entry of the hotel is designed as an ancient-temple-like architecture. The Present – the green, bio-ecological experiments of Hilton to breed bees and produce honey on its roof with remarkable success. The Future – stepping in the second decade of its history with bright ideas.


I like Marco Tempest´s magic! 

An interesting presentation on the human brain, great use of illustration/animation by Andrew Park, RCA. Psychiatrist and writer Iain McGilchrist talks about the “divided brain.”

A few photos from The Big Draw drawing Festival/ La Festa del Dibuix, in Barcelona. I too did my share of drawings around town. Absolutely!
