Ornamental Elements

In Thursday’s Wall Street Journal there is an article about video art inspiring runway fashions. Jennifer Steinkamp’s video installations inspired the Spring Collection from Narciso Rodriguez. I was intrigued by the title of one photos on the Installations page…’The Sky is Falling’.

“Jennifer Steinkamp and John Houck were commissioned to create a 3-D animation of multiple pieces of cloth falling across an LED screen at the Knight Theatre. The art piece consists of real-time generative 3-D animation of cloth falling out of the sky. Each piece of cloth is texture mapped with children’s images created in workshops at the various museums on the campus.” Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the page…This is so cool!!! (There are videos of many of her installations.)
