Landscape photos are wondrous by their very nature, and landscape photography is an art form practiced by professional and amateur photographers alike. The folks at OneBigPhoto.com, a site where you can see new big hq photos everyday, created this list of 20 amazing photos taken around the world. Enjoy!

French artist Guillaume Reymond has had a lot of success with his former projects.  For instance,  the video performance “GAME OVER”  had over 12 million viewers around the world, and the video film “Human Tetris” saw great success.  He won the 2007 You Tube Video Award for that film. Now he is involved with a new project called TRANSFORMERS, where he parks several cars, buses or trucks in a special pattern so it looks like the enormous Transformers robots (like the movie, the toys, the cartoon, etc.)  when viewed from above.  On one of the “robots” he even used people in different colored shirts to create the shape.

The huge art installations don’t look as CGI-shiny as they do in the movie Transformers, but they are quite a sight to see, especially if you have the chance to view it from the air. 

More than meets the eye, or exactly, spot-on, totally what meets the eye?  Me thinks it’s the latter.  It’s a bunch of buses, all put together to look like a robot.  Hurrah!

A still flash mob makes the day go faster.

Not everybody has their own helicopter, so we’re glad we could provide these aerial shots for you. Some of us have the ability to transform into helicopters though. If you’re one of these people (a “robot in disguise,” if you will), I urge you to turn into a copter and fly over these amazing projects.

To experience the art of Felice Varini is something out of the ordinary and rather spectacular. At first it all looks like geometric and abstract shapes dancing over different landscapes and buildings, but if you move in a certain direction you will notice that the shapes are starting to make sense and suddenly they will flatten into colorful 2D shapes. The Swiss artist has managed to use large areas and geometry to make abstract art that almost looks photoshopped and unreal.

He thinks it’s great when people find that right spot to stand in so his artwork makes sense, but he doesn’t get disappointed if they don’t, because it’s still art no matter how you see it. Varini has done several installations like this and has put lot of effort and work to it so the results would look perfect.

In Berlin an artist has done a similar thing where you have to stand in a special angle by a fence to spot his art.

La Gaîté Lyrique is the new venue in Paris dedicated to digital arts and new musics. La Gaîté Lyrique , an abandoned 19th century theater is set to is set to become a center for digital arts when it opens in December 2010. The artistic team and Passion Paris director Yves Geleyn have teamed up to create an every animation and 3D experience which will give visitors an abstract, sensual taster of the venue. The director of this project has done an interview exclusive for thisblogrules.com.

What exited you about the project?

When La Gaîté Lyrique approched me, I had just finished working on a long project for an ad and I wanted to work on something more personal. The timing was perfect. The most interesting thing about this project was the fact that it was so creative, open, experimental, a really good way to build something very different from what you usually see. Projects like this one are so rare,  I immediately jumped in it without any hesitation & no second thoughts.

How did the venue’s history influence the film? And what were the other influences?

La Gaîté Lyrique does carry an enormous amount of  history within its walls, and  it’s located in the heart of the Arts part of Paris. It was built 150 years ago, under the Second Empire, by the architect Hittorff Cusin and managed by Jacques Offenbach. This heritage was literally slaughtered in the 80s when turned into an urban amusement park for children, “Magic Planet”! It was cynically renamed “Tragic Planet” because it was abandoned only a few weeks after its opening. La Gaîté has remained sadly unoccupied and ignored for the past 14 years.  In a way it inspired me to insert various visual references from the past of the building inside the project, a kind of subtle tribute to the past but turned towards the future. The film, is also completely infused with the shadowy and naïve world that you can see in my other productions, its also full of enigmas and references, in particular to Kabuki and baroque and Italian theatre,and many other ones. This project was super inspiring for me.

How did you develop your interpretation of the theater? Was it quite spontaneous or did you do a lot of research?

I started with the architecture of the building designed by Manuelle Gontrand, it was very inspiring and I spontaneously developed all the spaces. I did a lot of research before finding the right balance between all  the spaces. I don’t wanted to be realistic so I decided to show the essence of each space by using the textures. For example I wanted to make the Sound space look like a giant cocoon made of sound cones, and the ‘Mediatheque’ was made of paper origami because in this hi-tech building it’s the only space where you will find books. So textures and forms were inspired by the function of each space.

What were you hoping to achieve with the interactive experience?

Early in the developement, I felt the desire to visit these spaces I had created. Furthermore, what should be just a film becomes a complete film/website system. I really wanted the people to live an experience, I don’t want to create a game website, but more a whole new experience, an insight as much as an illustration one. So I teamed up with studio Grouek to extend the initial artistic diktat of La Gaîté Lyrique.  The 3D animation film gradually becomes an independent space from which the visitor can visit La Gaîté Lyrique virtually, without a click, simply through the movement of the body, the breath or hovering the mouse on the background. An interactive stroll bathed in mystery and poetry. You can play with the characters: you interrupt them, you disturb them. They live in a weightless environment and you are the pleasant intruders.

How long did the project take?

I started over a year ago, I spent a lot of time on it – because I thought it was a terrific project, I didn’t count the hours. The good thing was the fact that I had time to develop the project extensively. Usually you don’t have time to develop characters, design, spaces etc. when working in advertising. For La Gaité I spent the first 6 months simply developing the project, it was just great! Then I spent the last 6 months working with “One More Production”  for the 3D and “Grouek” for the interactive part, both enthusiastically bound to the project and displayed all there talent into the project.

Ruth thinks that being different appeals to younger people, and that’s why she is liked all over France. When people ask her if she has any retire plans coming up, she answers with a smile: “Why retire? If you got the energy, and the enthusiasm, and the love of music, why stop? As long as I can keep going, I will.” Beside her gigs Ruth is working at the studio on a single that is going to be released during this spring.

Ruth is not the only one that shows the world how age is no barrier; these guys are almost 100 years old but still competing at athletics.
