FECAL FACE

"How would you describe Fecal Face to someone that may be unfamiliar?
Well, it went online in 2000, and back then there wasn't much in the way of art/ skate centric websites online. We were online before EBay/ Youtube... Google had just got going a few years before. There were no such terms as "blog", etc. So at the time, it was a pretty radical thing... Now, I tell people it's an online art magazine/ blog that's mainly curated by me and its contributors from San Francisco, Los Angeles, NYC, and wherever really. Been doing it for so long and the web has gone through so many changes... Guess I would call it a forum for art, culture and visual information and stimulation curated through the eyes and ears of a man in his thirties that grew up highly influenced by skateboarding culture, music, art, and life."

It's a dope website and hosts some really crazy-good art.  Buck showed me free fridayz, which is a weekly drawing contest open to anyone that awards the artist of the top rated piece with some swwwag.  Check it out!

The Luminarium

Ayla

by The Maccabees

Last week at UCSB we were honored to host the Mirazozo Luminarium on the Lagoon lawn.  It was there for about 4 days and on the last day, Thursday, I was finally able to go with a small group of friends.  Here is a description of the Luminarium from the Architects of Air website: 

"Built in 2010, Mirazozo makes extensive use of an ‘illuminated seam’ feature where luminous seam lines create a scintillating lattice of light.  The pattern of these neon-like strips induce the viewer's gaze to shift between different perceptions of the same view – an effect one encounters in the contemplative geometric surface design of Islamic art and architecture.

Mirazozo’s center dome is the largest open space structure that Architects of Air has built - one particularly suitable for hosting performances. Mirazozo was conceived to be very modular and to permit compact configurations." 

The wait was that  of a popular theme park ride, but well worth it as you will see in my pictures below. I used the Pano App for taking most of the photos.
