MADEMOISELLE MAURICE – ORIGAMI STREET ART
The latest creations of the French artist Mademoiselle Maurice, ephemeral installations and non-degrading poetic street art performed with hundreds of colorful origami glued on the walls of Paris. A daunting task to achieve thousands of origami using mostly recycled paper, in a spirit of friendly temporary installation, for the environment and the street. A cloud of origami that fly just like the human network and natural elements, with particular reference to the little Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki.

Magical moments from Globe to Globe (by ShakespearesGlobe)
Before every performance a member of the company is invited to sprinkle alcohol around the stage as an offering to Dionysus, God of theatre, wine and festivity, to bless the space and performance.
Two balloons, one inscribed with ‘Shakespeare’s Globe’ the other with the name of the company were released as a symbol of creative unity and good luck.I love theater traditions, especially the connection they bring between past, present, and future productions.
Resonate Installation at Luminale 2012, Frankfurt
A series of white elastic strings pulled across the interior of a container ship formed the aptly-named Resonate installation, an enthrallingly interactive feature at Frankfurt’s Luminale 2012.
The work was christened during the festival’s opening party, where visitors could play with the strings and thus participate in the creation of an audiovisual performance. When fiddled with, the pulled strings in fact produce sounds and lighting effects, turning the room into a collective musical instrument.
Interactivity aside, the soft structure created within the rational and rigid container – which will become a theatre for other events after the festival – established a playful relationship between the installation and its surrounding shell.
The project, visited by more than 10,000 people, was an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Master students in the Spatial Communication program at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz and the Sound-Art Composition Master program at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

I cleaned these up a bit in Photoshop: fixed some levels, nothing crazy.

What an incredible space to learn and be inspired… A playground of color!
“With a striking and modern white exterior, the school features frameless rainbow windows in communal spaces like hallways while leaving the glass in classrooms colourless. The result is corridors full of dazzling, multi-coloured light that is constantly changing as the sun moves during the school day.”
