Beautiful flow in the structure depicted in this image. Very much like Van Gogh in his later paintings. Perhaps this is what you start to see once your brain deteriorates from the consumption of too much absinthe. Or perhaps this is what his retina eventually looked like, so he saw everything with a pointillistic flow. Continue reading A picture a day… #14
It’s odd with Da Beat’s mindset and boxification. Clearly, boxification is about the change in the industrial landscape to highly functional but extremely unappetising boxes. This obviously suggests that wider views need to be captured in order to depict the actual landscape, and not singular units that usually result in almost abstract studies. Yet somehow currently in its infant state, this project seems to trigger … Continue reading More Boxification
Really, Da Beat could seriously do these all day long. Although, here he was perhaps a little quick on the draw. Passing the building at the side, he thought it was just another box, but it ain’t so.

Gregory Bateson already noted that in nature something similar occurs. … Continue reading A picture a day… #2
No, don’t worry. Da Beat is not going all woolly and alternative lifestyle on you. He can assure you he’s still well grounded with his feet on earth and his nose in the wind and still has a practical sense of wealth and prosperity. He merely wanted to share the backstory to one of his more abstract and minimalistic images, so as to demonstrate that … Continue reading Feng Shui
