The History Of Art

I could’t pass this piece of art without posting it on die without ART.

It have simple look, creative shortage of every artistic epoch and it have educative character :) what could you ask for more? ;)

You can recognize every artists style, I think that commenting on every style is not an essence of this post, so we will just skip that.

There are many artist in same epoch as one of these represented, but as you can see these are representatives according to artist of this piece of art…

Write a comment, give us response if you have something interesting on this subject…

Nothing to lose

I’ve blogged about this amazing guy before, his name is Darryl Richardson and he brought this interesting prison story to us through photography.

Nothing To Lose is a series of photographs documenting the Angola Prison Rodeo. “Once deemed the bloodiest prison in the south, the Louisiana State Penitentiary (nicknamed Angola) has transformed into a criminal safe haven thanks to efforts put forth by Warden Burl Cain. Angola is home to 5,200 inmates and 9 out of every 10 prisoners will die there.” – Darryl said. The rodeo is held every Sunday in October and it provides the way to escape the daily drudgery. On the other hand, it also gives them the opportunity to make an income while in prison, by selling various handmade arts and crafts, or by winning an event in the actual rodeo.

When inmate Michael Lewis was asked to provide his thoughts on Angola, he simply started, “if you have to be in prison this is the place to be”.

This set of the frozen moments explores the brutal reality of America’s mass incarceration culture. Once you are incarcerated, society treats you as an inhumane object, no matter what the crime may be. The restoration process for criminals returning into the real world is virtually nonexistent. Unfortunately, all of your rights as an actual human being are detracted.

With each photograph captured, I attemped to delineate the combative livestock as society and the views in which the majority of society has towards convicts.

In this set you see the inmates put their lives on the line as they fearlessly struggle with the aforementioned “society”. It is easy to risk everything when you have nothing to lose.

Thank you for sharing this with us Darryl, the story is much more interesting through art.

Beautiful metal inspired captures

Let’s move to abstract world of metal captures. This creative submission came from Seattle, USA. Guy who sent me this beautiful textures, Josh Martin is a fairly new photographer who grew up in Southern California. He had parents that were deeply involved in the art world as both professors and critics. He never really saw himself as an artist until he moved to Seattle 6 years ago. When Josh did something about the climate and its effects on metal and concrete sparked his creativity and imagination came out the camera.

Thank you Josh

Light painting from the future

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

“Making Future Magic” is the goal of Dentsu London, the creative communications agency. BERG made this film with them to explore this statement. They developed a specific photographic technique for this film. Using long exposures they recorded an iPad moving through space to make three-dimensional forms in light. Each frame is a long exposure photograph of 3-6 seconds. 5,500 photographs were taken. Only half of these were used for the animations seen in the final edit of the film.

Amazing work, like the future is really here.

THE CRAZIEST MOMENT #2

I always wanted to write more about my friends, especially about my online friends that I still haven’t met in person. That’s for me the best way of interaction. Ines Perković (also-known-as December Sun) is one of them and I could really write about each photo she uploads to her Flickr photostream, but let’s do it officially :P Here is a tactic: 1) Create a group on Flickr 2) Invite her to a group. 3) Let all members submit their creative shots! 4) Catch her :P

As you maybe already read on Die without Art, Ines is a 25-year-old (she says, but I don’t think so) amateur photographer, a radical Nikon shooter from Croatia. Had to mention… I’m also living in Croatia, but on the coast — I hope I’ll meet her soon!

Isn’t todays featured crazy moment awesome? Don’t worry you can also submit your crazy moment(s) to my Flickr group CRAZY MOMENTS …or maybe FEELING THE LIGHT and the official group DIE WITHOUT ART (all three groups are available for your submissions). Waiting for your new creative, thank you Ines (;

About my new online friend, lovely Ana

Making new cool friends via Internet was always my favorite online activity. Especially in the creative circle of people. Some of them are now my real (I also call them face-to-face) friends and I’m such a happy person because of that.

This special blog post is about my new dear online friend Ana also-known-as le vent le cri. Ana is a young 16-years-old photographer from Croatia and you can see some of her shots in this post. FOR MORE VISIT HER AWESOME FLICKR PHOTOSTREAM!

Ana is such a lovely person and I can feel that through her photos, so inspiring. She’s interesting and her photostream is telling one wonderful story. I’m glad she had enough confidence to tell me more about her life. After our call I’m loving her more and more. What has grown from just a few comments, continued via mails? An beautiful friendship! We are still just online friends and I’m looking forward to meet her in person, finally.

Thank you Flickr!

FEELING THE LIGHT

In photography everything is about the light, right?

I’d like to introduce you my new Flickr group “FEELING THE LIGHT“. Last month I saw so many comments as “Wow, look at that light” or “Love the light…”. So I wanted to start a collection of all those beautiful shots, hoping people will understand what I want from them. We are looking for shots with the great light, even they are taken by day or night. Every shot you adore because of the light. Beautiful sunset or awesome long-exposure ghost at dark. My friend Ana is helping me (Thank you dear!) with all those submissions, over 80 accepted so far. The group is very young, so I invite you to share your light with us, let’s feel it together.

Nadia, the camera that thinks

Unlike a conventional camera Nadia has no display of the photographs to be taken, but rather gives the judgment of aesthetic quality to the machine, displaying only a current rating as feedback about when and what to snap.

The world is full of many different new technologies and each is more or less useful. Artificial intelligence has been a topic that is approached with hope, fear, cynicism, curiousity and caution. However many intelligent devices have already been effortlessly absorbed into our culture and everyday lives. Soon we’ll see devices and systems that have the ability to think creatively and infer beauty. Maybe better then us, no? This novel little device with beautiful name Nadia improves and works its way into consumer devices, watch the video!

Realised in the Digitale Klasse under Joachim Sauter and Jussi Ängeslevä at the University of the Arts Berlin, Germany. Congratulations guys!

Creepy in a creative way, meet cute Jolene

I took up photography because I wanted to be able to create something artistic without drawing it all out. I love drawing but sometimes it’s very difficult to illustrate certain things so I use photography instead.

You can’t find so much information about Jolene on the internet, but I’ve tried to find out a bit more directly from her. Her really real name is Jolene Yeo and she lives in Singapore, wow! She’s 18 years old taking a diploma in Apparel Design. Jolene speaks Chinese and English as well. She’s posing on many of her photos and that is very commendable because we know how hard is to find a model and even photograph yourself, self-timers, remotes and so. Jolene loves staying at home and doesn’t like parties or social gatherings. “…I must sound like a very boring person…” – she said. No you’re not, at all! Your creativity is probably connected with your lifestyle and that is very good. I can see your story in your photos, even when it’s kind of acting – I’m serious!

Looking forward to see your new work, feel free to submit it. Lovely regards to you, Jolene and to all my other dear readers. Be good, I’m very busy now… back to work.
