The eyewriter.

Zach Liemberman is an artist and computer programer. He is combining the two in some pretty interesting ways.

Check out this video by PopTech and see his collaboration with Graffiti Research Labs that has enabled graffiti artist, Tony Quan who is almost completely paralyzed, to tag buildings from his hospital bed using only his eyes.

This technology allowed him to draw for the first time since 2003.

Everything is going to be alright.

I love typography and I love it even more on buildings.

My friend pointed out this building when we were heading home on the skytrain a while ago. I was walking in Chinatown today and came across it and took a picture.

It is an installation piece by British artist Martin Creed. The artwork is mounted on The Wing Sang Building, the oldest building in Chinatown, which is owned by Bob Rennie, an art collector and condo marketer.

Expo 86.

Something's Happening Here

In Vancouver over the past year I have noticed a collection of posters advertising Expo 86, seeing new ones posted just last week I finally decided to google it.

It is public poster project "Something's Happening Here" by Jeremy Shaw and has included 25 posters in multiple locations around Vancouver. This project started February 2009 and has continued for the the duration of the year.

It was a project in response to the 2010 Olympics, commenting on the similarities of the effects of Expo 86 and this year's games.
