 This piece of interactive art was suspended in the atrium within the San Francisco Art Museum. The balls of light were linked up to a camera which filmed people outside walking past the entrance. The shapes and movement were then changed into patterns of light which were played through lights changing within the piece.

The Cheesecake Factory, San Fran

Own photo

 This is the Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco. I think the decor is disgusting. The interior is so over the top, the patterns don't match, and there is just way too much happening within the area.

The Guggenheim, New York

Own photo

 This is the Guggenheim in New York, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright designed the building so that you took a lift up to the top floor and then walked down the slope to the bottom. When I was there this was not advertised that it was the correct way, and my family and I only found out about this after we had been to the gallery. The building is very different to my thoughts of Wrights work, Very light, with white render on the exterior and pale and light materials inside.

 I personally don't think the widow letting the majority of the light into the stairwell matches the rest of the design. It does not flow, like the sloped ramp, or the ribbon window shaft going down the outside. It is very harsh and jagged. I do however love the idea of having lots of natural light, as it gives a positive feel to a space.

Bauhaus and colours

Scanned in from Vogue

I love the simplicity of the primary colours. They make an outfit fun, yet still fashionable.

The colours make me thing of Kandinsky's art work because of the colours and simplicity of lines. I've have always liked the work of this artist. Its futuristic and takes a different stand to painting, than Monet etc, which means I find it much more interesting because its so atypical and crazy.
