Lenny Kravitz’s house in Miami, designed by Architröpolis (1999)
1960s & 70s space age/disco aesthetic had a strong influence on Y2K design, especially in this example (eg. the homage to Verner Panton). There are some 90s cyber-updates, like $30,000 automatic sliding glass doors, and the bathroom ‘mirror’, which is actually a “camera & video-screen that records everything to videotape”. The music video for his 1999 single, ‘Black Velveteen’ was filmed in the home, featuring lyrics like “The 21st Century Dream”.

Transmissions by Dan Holdsworth
“In Dan Holdsworth’s latest series Transmission: New Remote Earth Views, he appropriates topographical data to document the ideologically and politically loaded spaces of the American West in an entirely new way. In his images of the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Mount Shasta, Mount St. Helens, Salt Lake City and Park City, we see stark, uninterrupted terrains where meaning is made through what it is absent, as much as what is seen. What at first appears to be a pure white snow-capped mountain is in fact a digitally rendered laser scan of the earth appropriated from United States Geological Survey data, a ‘terrain model’ used to measure climate and land change – to measure man’s effect on the earth.
Belying his empirical methodology is the fact that each of these terrains has a rich and conflicting cultural legacy. Beginning with the idealised aesthetic of the Romantic sublime via the deadpan industrial frames of the New Topographics photographers a century later, each has been subject to the gaze of artistic, political, and sociological categories claiming this territory as their own. Extending ideas of the frontier and seeing anew, Transmission captures the world as if from space, functioning not only as a map of the land but as a mapping of the discourses that these lands have come to represent.”
Microscapes. These alien-looking landscapes are created under the microscope, using multiple exposure photography techniques. That top image, the one that looks like the moon over a cliff, is really:
A multiple (3) exposure of recrystallized sulfur, the microscope field diaphragm defocused with a yellow filter (the moon), and a stretched polyethylene baggy (the sky).
Go figure.
