Rafa Zubiría

http://www.rafazubiria.es/files/gimgs/11_rafa-zubiria.jpg

This series of images was created by Spanish artist and photographerRafa Zubirà a - they beautifully blurry, and almost mundane (were it not for the impossible way the structures hover in the sky), featuring generic housing blocks and nondescript townhomes.

Las inquietantes imágenes de Rafa Zubiria (San Sebastián, 1985)., en las que su surrealismo onírico desafía los posicionamientos políticamente correctos, nos sumergen en un estimulante universo pleno de lecturas. En las obras de Rafa Zubiria descubrimos a un autor formalmente sofisticado que nos enfrenta a unas imágenes bellas, sugestivas y sensuales. Comienza su carrera artística obteniendo numerosos premios. Al mismo tiempo que empieza su colaboración con publicaciones dedicadas a las nuevas tendencias artísticas, su obra se muestra en diversas exposiciones tanto colectivas como individuales ; y desarrolla su inmensa capacidad imaginativa en la dirección artística de campañas publicitarias. Su investigación sobre la imagen le lleva a trabajar en el mundo del videoclip.

Dream Big: Portrait Made of 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes


Can’t solve the Rubik’s cube? Don’t worry, because there’s a much cooler way to use it! Pete Fecteau used 4,242 officially licensed Rubik’s Cubes to create a mosaic of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The construction process took a little over 40 hours. Each cube has been “reversed solved” or twisted so that one of the faces maps its nine stickers into the total image, 38,178 stickers total. It measures 19′ x 8’6″ x 2.25″ (5.8m x 2.6m x 5.7cm ) and weighs roughly 1000 pounds (454kg).

Pete Fecteau is a designer by day. He attended Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan and attained his BFA in Digital Media Design in 2007. Upon graduating college, Fecteau accepted a position as design integrator at Spout.com. In 2009 Fecteau volunteered to help with registration of voters and artists to ArtPrize (the world’s largest art competition). Fecteau knew that he would want to compete in the 2010 competition but was failing to find a competitive concept. During the time he was volunteering, Fecteau went home to sleep and had a dream where he was using Rubik’s Cube to create something. Upon waking up, Fecteau set to document the idea and brainstorm other areas of the concept to make it well-rounded.
