WHEN IT'S A MATTER OF CHARACTER...the work of Michael Paulus

from Michael Paulus' web site ....

http://michaelpaulus.com/section/59023_CHARACTER_STUDY.html

CHARACTER STUDY

A character study of 22 present and past cartoon characters

"Animation was the format of choice for children's television in the 1960s, a decade in which children's programming became almost entirely animated. Growing up in that period, I tended to take for granted the distortions and strange bodies of these entities.These Icons are usually grotesquely distorted from the human form from which they derive.

I decided to take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as I imagine they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.

These characters have become conventions that are set, defined, and well-known personas in our culture. Being that they are so commonplace and accepted as existing I thought I would dissect them like science does to all living objects - trying to come to an understanding as to their origins and true physiological make up. Possibly to better understand them and see them in a new light for what they are in the most basic of terms.

The photographed pieces are the original, translucent hinged overlay format. the rest are photoshopped facsimiles of the originals.

THE FINNISH POST

_REWIEW OF RANDOMIZED FINNISH MEMORIES_

publishing director: Martina Ruini

N°1 (22/11/2009)

"For the 1st number of the prestigious journal THE FINNISH POST , i've decided to begin with a topic that will illustrate some contemporary architecture ..... because actually it has been the main reason why 1 year ago i've moved to the nordic countries with my student's exchange program .

Therefore for the coming out of next numbers, this non-profit journal will propose "randomized" materials and info, that i've discovered by rummaging in my finnish memories.

Together with the description&photos you will always find my PERSONAL TAG, a sort of short suggestion .

That's all i want to say, just to motivate the realization of this initiative...

so are you ready for your departure to Finland ? " (M.R)

i got to know about Avanto Architects during my last months in the north of europe, surfing the net to see if i could find some place for an internship...then the story ended with my return in Italy on July, so no job -> POSTPONED TO NEXT SUMMER?

anyway

i appreciate a lot their works

so

"...SLA designs spaces for new urban experiences. SLA creates genuine amenity values that in an unorthodox way add a new layer of meaning to the everyday environment.
