BigShinyThing » The Joy of Sets

Thursday 6 July 2006

Nifty brain storming/new business/sanity check tool from Google labs.

Google sets works off a few examples ie Jerry McGuire, Top Gun and then generates the rest of the set for you. Has its quirks but then that makes it more fun… We like our set of iconic 80s pop bands. Excellent for those moments when your brain goes blank… which for us is rather often.

What Goes On

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Tim Walker - Pictures
- "London based photographer Tim Walker has established himself at the cutting edge of fashion photography. His images capture a sublime moment in time, evoking a sense of epic drama and beauty. Stunning sets and lavish locations juxtapose the everyday with the absurd and the fabulous, to create captivating, original photographs. Tim’s evocative images are full of textured nuance and intriguing detail. His innovative photography is amongst the most imaginative and exuberant being produced today."

Dickie Beau Presents
- "Dickie Beau's artistic open clique presents an evening of cabaret inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Inhabiting a distorted version of Dorothy on a metatextual journey beyond Oz, Dickie, together with his travelling companions, discovers that when you dream in colour, not everything is black and white. With a bespoke soundtrack arranged by music supervisor and DJ Helen Noir, Wicked Witch of the East London club night, Film Noir, expect an evening of original performance from an eclectic collection of artists, including Bistrotheque's Lisa Lee; spellbinding dance practitioner, Nando Messias; Geisha School dropout, Ingenue St John; and the obliquely unique Amanda Pet."
