Although Lisa Rienermann’s “Type the Sky” project is from 2007, I first heard about it yesterday. “Type the Sky” is a photographic alphabet consisting of sky-snippets, which are framed by houses…it’s hard to describe…sorry! Take a look yourself! It was awarded by the Type Directors Club New York in 2007 and was uses by the car manufacturers Mercedes and Renault for their advertising-campaigns! In my opinion Lisa’s artwork is a great combination of my three major interests - as you know urban landscapes, typography and photography! For me it’s nice to see, what is possible with a sharped eye and a cam in a city! ...

As I told you some weeks ago, light art and facade projection are in vogue this year. More and more audiovisual art installations can be found worldwide and more and more artists use modern technologies for their works. Today I got an e-mail including a link to a superb audiovisual facade projection, made by the Telenoika Cultural Association at the “Ingravid Festival of Contemporary Culture” in Figueras, Spain. I was impressed while watching it. The sound, the lights, the shadows, everything dovetails nicely! ...

Space Invader hits South Korea - I think, he is one of the most traveling urban artists worldwide! His tile installations can be seen all over the world and wherever they occur, they let the people wonder. Recently some photos of a new urban art invasion in Daejeon, South Korea appeared, which I’ll not longer withhold from you: space invader daejeon invader daejeong space invader daejeon ...

Even if it’s some days ago, I can’t ignore the largest free running jam on earth! On September 26, 2009, over 3,500 traceurs in 37 countries teamed up and called for a world with clean power.

This great urban acrobatics event, called “One Giant Leap” was organized by environmental action group Sandbag together with pro traceurs from Parkour Generations and the international parkour community. ...

There’s a good reason for not writing something last weekend - the phenomenal extreme sports event Freestyle Berlin! Freestyle Berlin, that was impressing freestyle motocross (FMX), great freestyle skateboarding in a four meter vertramp, freeskiing and freestyle snowboarding on three days at the former airport Tempelhof in Berlin. My friends, I and about 13,000 other visitors were fascinated by the extreme stunts, jumps and drops. I took a lot of photos there and made a nice black-and-white series out of them - take a look into my Flickr-photostream! ...
