Negative and positive space become one and same, in the creative/original/stylized/minimalistic movie (and TV) posters of artist/illustrator Ale Giorgini.
More quality polygonal illustrations. This time from Hope Little's portfolio.
Clever, ingeniously designed, stackable blocks, assembled from cardboard.
Allowing for great building expressiveness, ranging from the most basic makeshift constructions to the more-or-less "permanent" structures, in the most varied forms and shapes.
From an initial design by Jef Raskin.
Viewing it as long-running experiment in emergent behaviour, life-creation, evolution, complexity vs. simplicity. Or simply as beautiful, artful, kinetic sculptures. Or, even, as the (re-)invention of a new (better) wheel (according to the creator himself). Or all of the above.
No matter the facet/lens one choose to look upon it, an interesting (and inspiring) endeavour/work.
Brazilian club Corinthians (Sport Club Corinthians Paulista) immortalized 12 of the team's most memorable goals, in an initiative dubbed The Goal of the Wall (Gol de Muro).
Described/defined as:
The Goal of the Wall is scored with sweat and courage. It could be scored with a heel pass, but not necessarily, it is. It is considered the ones scored with the foot, head, shin, with that little part of the toe´s broken nail or anything else that could be done. Eventually scored in the additional time in very desperate moments. It is the breath taking one, which turns into screams, songs and widespread euphoria. It is intrinsically linked to People´s Republic of Corinthians. Is an emblematic goal that decides and moves the crowd.
Using walls as the canvas, 12 evocative, atmospheric, almost ethereal, goal-related moments, were captured and pictured for posterity:
Above, Sócrates' goal, Corinthians 1 vs 1 São Paulo (1983·12·14).
Below, Tupãzinho's goal, Corinthians 1 vs 0 São Paulo (1990·12·16):
