deballon: Kianoosh Motallebi - Terrestrial Ball A small spherical object made with the 94 naturally occurring elements on Earth. It measures 2,5 cm in diameter. Born in Liverpool in 1982, Kianoosh Motallebi’s objects and installations use science and scientific principles as a context to explore art and existentialist questions about mans existence. His works often define a larger context which both the viewer and the work inhabit. This larger context creates a space to challenge and explore the interconnection of everyday experience of mans surroundings and the physical laws that govern them. Motallebi completed his Masters in Arts at the Slade School of fine Art in London. He currently lives in Amsterdam where he has recently finished a two year residency at the Rijksakademie van Beelden Kunsten. currently exhibited at DEAF

Tumblr Artist

Marcos Martinez on Tumblr (Spain)

Creative, inquisitive and retailer, Marcos Martinez is an artist living and working in Valencia, Spain. Dreamlike, disturbing and personal, his work invites us to plunge into an idealized world while disconcerting, where the past becomes the morning recovering old images from different areas, which become more important to treat them, decontextualized and extrapolate to the present. Please visit his Tumblr for more work. (Interview with artist by ARTchipel May-2012)

Art work revolving around geometric and mathematical equations is the immediate, natural impressions perceived…the themes and personal revelations based on Julien Salaud’s work. The French artist uses threads, nails, and taxidermy based on mythical creatures.

I like to think it Tacksidermy.

Bioluminescence in the Gippsland Lakes

Noctiluca scintillans doing what it does best in the Gippsland Lakes, a small chain of inland lakes in Victoria, Australia.

The events that transpired to make this happen are quite miraculous; firstly there was widespread fires in Victoria that burned pretty intensely for quite some time. Then, they were followed by intense flooding that inundated many areas of Gippsland amongst others. The basic effect was that floodwaters carried nutrient-rich soil and ash from the higher reaches into the Gippsland basin, leading to a eutrophic condition in which algae and bacteria can thrive.

This gave rise to a particularly prolific cyanobacteria getting a foothold, Synechococcus. Essentiallysmothering the lake in cellular life, it gave an opportunity for some pretty special creatures to breed prolifically given an abundant food source - Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent Dinoflagellate.

And so, you end up with photographs like this. A once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, captured for all to share.
