I just released a new keepsake game- Bleed Map! You play alongside a video game of your choice, creating a map of the digital space. At the same time, you'll be prompted to record emotions and thoughts from your everyday life that bleed into the experience. florencesmithnicholls.itch.io/bleed-map

I cut flowers from my garden today and put them in three Growth Vases. We created them in 2009, using a branching growth algorithm to generate the form. 17 years later, I’m still fascinated by the same question: what can we make when we use nature’s algorithms for growth to create art and design?

Large, round, white, y-shaped sculpture with a bumpy texture, outdoors on fake grass. I am casting a shadow on the sculpture with my arms stretched upwards. The sculpture is called Up-Up by Adeline de Monseignat

Another similar sculpture by the same artist but bean shaped. My shadow's arms are stretched out to the sides. The sculpture is titled Croissant

Another similar sculpture by the same artist but shaped like a cartoon worm crawling. My shadow's arms are more tucked into the body but the forearms are stretched out. The sculpture is titled Gusano which means worm in Mexican Spanish

It's funny I used to hate listening to my own voice when I was younger, but I recently recorded voiceover for a trailer and I'm actually feeling good and confident about it. Think I'm just way more comfortable in my own skin now. It's nice to be reminded of how far I've come

The half shells were separated into 2 octagonal boxes (桶): 'shells to be played' (出貝), representing earth/yin, and 'shells fixed in place' (地貝), symbolising heaven/yang. At its most elaborate 360 matched shells (1 for each day of the year) would be in play, with 20 players!

🐚SHELL GAME🎴 To while away those rainy afternoons...a game of 'kai-awase' (貝合わせ). Traditional or seasonal scenes are painted in elaborate detail on the inside of shells. The aim of the game is to find pairs amongst the shells (each half related in some way). #貝合わせ #京都
