Giovanni Pintori exhibition catalog c2003

Giovanni Pintori won a scholarship in 1930 (at the age of 18) to study at the ISIA in Monza under design heavyweights like Marcello Nizzoli and Edoardo Persico. After graduation he was invited to work for Olivetti in the Development & Advertising Office located in Milan. Three years later he would become the head of the department. Over the next 27 years he created an impressive body of work for Olivetti that would earn him a lasting international reputation.

This book was made in conjunction with a 2003 exhibition that highlighted many of Pintori’s designs for Olivetti.

Phil Ashcroft

Work of London based artist Phil Ashcroft. I like the way his work is reminiscent of Japanese painter and printmaker, Hiroshige Ando.

Visual DNA Project

Science meets art in this compelling project where artist Daniel A. Becker creates gene code as graphic sequences.

Click on the link here to see letters turn into beautiful organic tapestries, as seen below.

First, you see the corresponding DNA linked to the graphics...

Then the letters turn into graphics that then creates this mosaic. In this case, this pattern was created by the DNA of the White Shark
