Symmetrium by Niko Luoma
Luoma on his work:
My material is light. The work focuses on energy rather than matter. My work is about the process as much as about the result.
My process combines systems of calculation and change. I find my inspiration in mathematics and geometry; symmetry and chaos, both imagined and found in nature…
In my recent “symmetrium” series, time reveals the process through thousands of exposures on a single negative.
Theories of Everything by Dayna Thacker
Thacker on her work:
John Muir wrote, “When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything in the universe.”
This body of work takes inspiration from the “thousand invisible cords” of modern string theory, ancient Islamic sacred geometry, and the principles of ecology. These complex areas of study have several overlapping concerns: the harmony of relationships; the correlation between the very large and infinitely small; symmetry; repetition; beauty; an appreciation for the elegance of a perfectly balanced system; and the extreme interconnection of everything.
These geometric rings from Love Mert Jewelry are now available in my Thinx Gifts store.

Work by Mary Iverson
From the artist statement:
Mary’s prints and paintings resonate with so many other things that I am looking at online: data visualizations and information graphics, Modernist painting, and resurgences of photo-realistic and illustrative painting as well. I am particularly struck by the relationships in these images between the natural and the artificial, the figurative and the abstract, and the balance of thought and feeling. This balance is reminiscent of my own feelings about the Internet and the “wildness” of its networks. It seems perfectly appropriate that I would first see these images on the web instead of in the more controlled space of a gallery.
Iverson’s shipping containers can be seen as metonymic stand-ins for a whole system of distribution for objects that we deal with every day. These paintings, until recently, left us with little clue of what they might contain. They are like scientific conceptual “black-boxes” which are put into place to sidestep our actual material understanding. We might see these containers on a dock or train and have only a vague sense of what they may contain or how those materials might be used. This parallels directly with the distribution of data on the net. The analog and digital worlds of things echo each other.
Modern Primitives by Aranda/Lasch
Work by Jordan Rogers
Rogers on his work:
I have always considered myself a creative individual, but my creativity is fed by a deep interest in Science, Technology and Surrealism. Through my Illustration I hope to share with you what I have learned myself, by presenting this information in fascinating forms.
The Facetada lamp and Facetat bowl are the results of a new manufacturing system by the Andreu Carulla Studio.
About the system:
Its manufacturing system is revolutionary, as we start from a flat sheet geometry which is modeled to our liking, allowing to create different shapes. The final result is a unique piece of futuristic aesthetic, with a luxurious finish.
About the lamp:
[It] is a unique piece of lightweight appearance, which distributes the light uniformly on the bottom, while reflects spectacular patterns on the ceiling, creating a warm ambiance.
Watch this video to see their process and the beautiful geometric patterns that fill the ceiling above the Facetada lamps:

Colorful origami by Kota Hiratsuka
Isom Tables by Sebastian Scherer
Jeongmoon Choi creates spectacular UV light and thread installations that play with perspective.
Jeongmoon Choi works with thread and traces this three-dimensional line directly into volume to create illusions of perspective. The thread is coloured and used to outline or redefine the architecture of the spaces the artist invests. Drawing directly into space with her hand, the artist addresses questions about our environment, as well as about aspects of lodging and the role of nature in our urban spaces.
Origami artist Byriah Loper has designed more interlocking wireframes than anyone else in the world and he’s just 18 years old. These are just a few of them.
Work from Matthew Day Jackson’s exhibit In Search Of…
Work by Emma McNally
These may look like paintings, but they are actually photographs by Jessica Eaton.
About the work:
[Eaton’s] work views the world through the capabilities of photography using a wide array of experimental, analogue-based photographic techniques such as color separation filtration, additive color theory, multiple exposures, motion blur, in-camera masking, cross polarization and lighting techniques. [Eaton develops] configurations from repeated fragments, constructing sculptural works on sheets of large format film. The haunting, luminescent images bloom and grow before the viewer, the result of layered time and additive color theory.
