Charmaine Olivia Is Fabulous in Black
Artist Charmaine Olivia‘s gorgeous outfit at the opening of her show, Ritual, on January 14th, is an awesome real-life example of a simple but effective look. The black, full-length dress with cutouts in back is from Paprika via ASOS; the look is accented with sterling silver jewelry, including the “Seance” bracelet cuff from Blood Milk, and sets off her tattoos beautifully.

Tim Lewis’ “Pony”
Tim Lewis‘ Pony is a bizarre and uncanny kinetic sculpture that was exhibited at 2009′s Kinetica Art Fair. Unsettling and uber-realistic, Pony looks somewhat like a surreal ostrich-esque creature composed of human arms, pulling a small one-seater carriage behind itself; motion-sensitive, and appearing to “walk” in a very eerie and delicately articulated fashion, it is another creepy and brilliant intersection of art and science, and a provoking piece of interactive sculpture. Its title also suggests a veiled commentary on the relationship between humans and animals.
Kinetica Art Fair is produced by Kinetica Museum and is the first of its kind in the UK. It brings together galleries, art organisations and curatorial groups from around the world who focus on kinetic, electronic, robotic, sound, light, time-based and multi-disciplinary new media art, science and technology.
