Studio469 - Lost in visualization

about a year ago i talked about advancements in the field of teleportation. new technological developments always get my neurons firing. so in search for some scientific creative energy i once again came upon an invigorating incident: invisibility.

another one of the holy grails of science, invisibility is usually targeted at creating cloaks for defense purposes [though i wonder being invisible does not provoke more offensive behavior]. some time ago headway was made, resulting in a near perfect 2D cloak [yes, 2D, not 3D. we are not that far into the future just yet].

obviously we will not be discussing the technical details nor the evolution of invisible tanks for that matter. engineering material and wars are as boring as today’s paper. considering this is a blog about creativity and inspiration, we are going to get freaky with invisibility [okay, maybe i lied. “freaky” is not the right word for the job, but i will try to get as close as possible].

This weeks must see takes us to Greece where Sebastien Nikolaou has his design studio SEB DESIGN. His work is mostly graphic design and web design inspired by the graphic art often found in music, CD covers and more. Check out his portfolio and be inspired.
