The Klein bottle is a mathematical surface with no distinct “inner” and “outer” sides. Mathematical surfaces and shapes like the Klein Bottle intrigue architects because they provide new possible constructions and ways of communication. Klein Bottle House is an example of architecture inspired by these structures. The architects have successfully created a vacation home which messes with your brain but - nevertheless - is warm and inviting. Therefor, it doesn’t come as a surprise that this house won the award of best home of 2009, at the World Architecture Festival.

I’ve finally made a new portfolio for my illustrations and photography, which is now the home page of h2ogd.com. I chose for a very clean black and white layout so most of the attention will be drawn to the artwork. With the launch of the new portfolio, I’ve added some of my recent work including a set of posters and photography for slashTHREE’s Steampunk.

International art collective slashTHREE has released Steampunk, its 12th exhibition. The influence of the victorian age and the technical developments during that time are clearly visible in this collection of illustrations, photography and music. A few highlights:

Digital art & media collective Depthcore has released it’s 38th exhibition. This is the fourth without a theme, and it is clear that the artists take this chance to let their creativity run wild.

As more and more of our members continue to embark on creative careers, having a relaxed, unguided outlet for creativity becomes more and more important. Full press release.
