Geocentric Timepiece by Geoffrey Cooper


A science and science fiction inspired watch that uses a motion similar to planets rotating around a sun. The rings of the watch are in constant motion, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The goal of this watch is to create a new form of telling time that will inspire and spark wonder in the viewer.

Atelier Van Lieshout | Casade


Dutch designers Atelier Van Lieshout will unveil an eight metre-tall sculpture featuring oil drums and human figures in Rotterdam tomorrow. Called Cascade, the piece was commissioned by Sculpture International Rotterdam and is made of polyester. Eighteen barrels form a column over which the figures are draped.

CASCADE, 2010

The eight-metre tall sculpture is made of polyester, a material that can almost be regarded as the signature of Atelier Van Lieshout. Eighteen stacked oil drums, which appear to descend from the sky like a waterfall, combine to form a monumental column. From the life-size drums drips a syrupy mass in which one can make out the shapes of a score of human figures. They are anonymous beings, many of them in dramatic poses. Some of them climb upwards. In comparison with the robust contours of the oil drums, the figures are limp and formless. Despite that, these shapes form a network that supports the column. Drums and human shapes, rigid and limp forms, have melted together into a single whole.
