A short one this month. I’ve just come back from a wonderful vacation to South Limburg including the lovely city of Maastricht.
👨🎨 Abstract Season 2
In April I recommended watching the series Abstract: The Art of Design. Recently Netflix released season 2! This time with the story of these six creative professionals:
- Olafur Eliasson: The Design of Art
- Neri Oxman: Bio-Architecture
- Ruth Carter: Costume Design
- Cas Holman: Design for Play
- Ian Spalter: Digital Product Design
- Jonathan Hoefler: Typeface Design
🌍 Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell
A colleague of mine recommended this YouTube channel to me, and I’m so glad he did. They make beautiful animation video’s in which they explain things (in a nutshell).
Watch this video for example:
Some other great ones:
- Loneliness
- Why Alien Life Would be our Doom - The Great Filter
- The World War of the Ants – The Army Ant
- The Egg - A Short Story
🎥 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
★★★★
I watched this film in 35mm (analogue, as Quentin Tarantino meant it to be watched) in Eye Amsterdam. There’s something about watching films in analogue. I love it. 35mm is equivalent to 6K in digital. Add to that the rich analogue color palette and the beauty of the gritty film grain, and you have a unique cinematic experience.
