Arte urbana em São Paulo
Arte urbana em São Paulo - Livros e Afins
Apesar de não agradar a todos, São Paulo está a caminho de ser a capital da arte urbana no Brasil. Embora alguns artistas brasileiros, até mesmo renomados no exterior, tenham tido suas obras apagadas por aí, a arte nunca para de se multiplicar. Está visível em viadutos, pontes, no alto de edifícios e muros, os grafites dão mais cor e vida a cidade.
E foi com prazer que separei algumas áreas onde é possível encontrar algumas das mais belas artes grafitadas em São Paulo. A maioria dos pontos citados nesse post fazem parte da lista de lugares que todo o turista deve visitar ao passar por São Paulo.
1. No centro, de frente a Pinacoteca de São Paulo, próximo ao Viaduto Prestes Maia, um dos painéis criados por Daniel Melim chama atenção. O artista utilizou técnica estêncil, um tipo de molde vazado, para dar vida ao desenho inspirado no movimento Pop Art de aproximadamente 30×25 metros, considerado um dos maiores do mundo.
2. Falando em Pop Art, os artistas brasileiros, Os gêmeos que fazem intervenções no mundo inteiro, não podiam deixar a terra natal fora da lista. Sempre polêmicos, os grafites podem ser vistos em muros e edifícios clássicos em diversas regiões de São Paulo, principalmente no centro, com o intuito de transmitir mensagens para quem passa pelo local. Além disso, Otávio e Gustavo Pandolfo grafitaram muito pelos arredores do Cambuci, onde passaram boa parte da vida.
3. Segundo o mercado imobiliário, a Vila Madalena não é só conhecida como um dos bairros mais cobiçados para se viver nem mesmo como uma das regiões mais movimentadas para quem curte a vida noturna. A região também também tem fama pelas intervenções artísticas que acontecem desde 1980. O exemplo mais famoso é o Beco do Batman, que recebe estudantes de arte e artistas de todos lugares.
4. O Beco do Aprendiz, também na Vila Madalena, ganhou vida após colaborações de grafiteiros. A área que antes era frequentada por traficantes, agora é uma grande e colorida galeria de arte. Obras de mais 50 artistas, sendo atualizadas frequentemente.

5. Quem passa pelo bairro mais oriental de São Paulo, a Liberdade, não pode deixar de notar as obras. Mesmo tímidas, elas seguem a linha dos desenhos japoneses, com traços finos, bem semelhantes a mangás. Entre os artistas que deixaram a marca por lá, estão: Titi Freak e Whip.
6. É impossível não perceber o painel com criações de diversos grafiteiros entre a Paulista e Rebouças que recebem diariamente o grande fluxo de carros na cidade. As artes não são fixas, são substituídas por uma nova surpresa sempre que surge oportunidade. Uma das mais marcantes foi a pintura do grande artista Kobra em homenagem ao Oscar Niemeyer.
7. Em 2015, o atual prefeito de São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, recebeu duras críticas por autorizar intervenções artísticas feitos nos Arcos do Jânio. Obra que gerou polêmica, pois foi considerada uma homenagem ao ex-presidente da Venezuela Hugo Chávez. O artista responsável, Rafael Hayashi, diz que a proposta foi distorcida e a intenção real era representar um homem negro.
8. Outro local que recebeu toques de arte urbana em São Paulo foi o Viaduto 23 de Maio. Cerca de 70 murais criados por 400 artistas com um único objetivo, deixar a cidade mais bonita. A cada trabalho no Viaduto, um estilo diferente de se fazer arte é proposto. É só passar por lá para mergulhar em cada cor desse universo.
9. As pilastras do Minhocão também protagonizam o cenário artístico de São Paulo, receberam obras de grandes nomes no Brasil e do mundo, e hoje é praticamente uma galeria de arte urbana, recentemente foi palco para o projeto fotográfico “Giganto” que presenteou a região com a série de retratos de Raquel Brust.
Se até o prefeito de São Paulo se rendeu aos encantos das intervenções urbanas, ainda acredito que outros cidadãos irão começar a apreciar a arte de rua que só contribui para ruas mais bonitas.

More Journalists Arrested While Covering Labor Conditions In Qatar
Just like those Germans a couple weeks ago, a crew of British journalists investigating the living and working conditions of the laborers tasked with constructing the (really cool! ) infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar were arrested, had their property confiscated, and were forbidden from leaving the country. Since being released, one of them gave his account of the arrest.

Colin Gibson (Production Designer): You bet your sweet… George — unfortunately — doesn’t like things that don’t work. I have in the past built him props that I thought were just supposed to be props, and then he goes, “Okay, plug it in now.”
The first version of the guitar which — I think I put too much into the flame thrower, not enough into the reverb. And yes, the flame throwing guitar did have to operate, did have to play, the PA system did have to work and the drummers… Unfortunately, I did get practice in all positions and I’ve got to tell you, the drumming was very uncomfortable at 70 [kilometers] an hour, eating sand.
[…] George actually had the guitarist come over, fairly early on in pre-production in Africa. And so he had a month or six weeks of getting used to it, of actually being able to play at full speed, while bungee jumping and blind.

Fractal Formations: The Fascinating Future of Urban Growth
What might the patterns of urban sprawl look like if humanity were to survive another thousand years or so? Artist Tom Beddard envisions fractal formations seemingly cut right into the earth, broken up by the occasional sky-high tower or curving superstructure. The architecture in this futuristic vision entitled ‘Aurillia’ ranges from bleak industrial scenes to incredibly complex city centers, all created using a fractal formula called Mandalay.
The London-based artist, who earned a PhD in laser physics before moving on to design and web development, used the Fractal-lab tool that he built himself to render the images. Fractals in visual form are generally characterized by obvious patterns, but with this formula, the resulting aerial views have a surprisingly organic look.
“What I found particularly interesting was the mix of architectural forms that could be found when certain parameter combinations create structural resonances,” Beddard told The Creators Project. “The curved domes are due to the Mandlebox sphere folding effect and the towers result from the different fold scaling of individual axes.”
We’ve seen some amazing applications of fractals and parametric designs in architecture and furniture designs, from mobile pavilions to fantasy cities, but nothing on quite this large of a scale. Check out aerial views of real-life suburban complexes and you’ll see that these patterns aren’t all that far from the patterns we’re already creating with urban development.

Earthlight
“Earthlight is the partial illumination of the dark portion of the moon’s surface by light reflected from the Earth and from the Earth’s airglow. It is also known as Earthshine [or] Planetshine, the Moon’s ashen glow, or the old Moon in the new Moon’s arms.”

Eshima Ohashi Bridge, A Tall Bridge in Western Japan That Resembles a Roller Coaster for Cars
photos via The Asahi Shimbun/Getty Images
The Eshima Ohashi Bridge is a Japanese rigid frame bridge with an unusually high span that–from certain angles–makes the structure look like a roller coaster for cars. In reality, the 144-foot-tall bridge features grades no steeper than 6.1% (long lens photography exaggerates the incline). The bridge connects the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato in Western Japan. The bridge’s high span is designed to accommodate boat traffic, as Sakaiminato is a major fishing port.

Mostly Mute Monday: The Most Extreme View Into Deep Space (Synopsis)
“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” –Joseph Campbell
Imagine you just stared into darkness, collecting every photon of light that came by. What would you wind up seeing? The Hubble Space Telescope has done this many times, creating the Hubble Deep Field first and then the Hubble Ultra Deep Field with upgraded cameras and more time. But most recently, the eXtreme Deep Field has surpassed even that.

With double the exposure time in the same region as the Ultra Deep Field, we’ve set the most robust lower limit on the number of galaxies in the Universe, and learned what it will take to find the rest.
