The body as art space

In discussion about the work of Nick Knight and Alistair Mackie, the online zine Grateful Grapefruit strikes a comparison between their work 'Body Language' with  that of Lucy Macrae.  It also links it to this video by Delphic, which suggests novel uses of body decoration, linking little cubes, spikes and bubbles with tribal effects.  Directed by Andrew Huang whose work has been featured on faceCULTURE before, this is new cosmetic technology that removes it from being seen as a canvas and instead presents it as art space.

Andrew Huang - 'Doll Face'

A machine with a doll face mimics images on television screen in search of a satisfactory visage. Doll Face presents a visual account of desires misplaced and identities fractured by our technological extension into the future. Listed among Creativity Magazine's Top 25 "Directors to Watch" in 2008, Andrew Huang's work has been increasingly recognized by his trademark combination of live action, animation and visual effects.

After further reflection on 'Doll Face'  I thought it would be useful to see Bjorks music video.
