about

2AeM is a cooperative design effort composed of the 3 young Midwestern-sprung, spread-the world-out, out-and-out Architecture student-architects: nicholas m. reiter, Jessie Wilcox and Peter Nguyen. The team base was originally Milwaukee, WI but since has become a mobile abstraction or a state of mind. 2AeM is sometimes physical, sometimes sober, partially virtual, usually vocal, and all-the-time IN-it.

We are track jumpers, demons, villains and observing you right now. Design is the New and so are the Stakes.

shadow art

legos have been receiving a lot of love recently.
everyone it seems is using these building blocks that have powered so many of our imaginations growing up.

there's james may's lego house.... sadly destroyed.



then there's Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's, a famous fashion designer, accessories strutting down the catwalk.



but, this project absolutely blows my mind. while i maintain a personal nostalgia for these little modular building blocks this project utilizes these tiny pieces in combination with light to create amazing works that shape shift before your eyes.



"the program called shadow art is an amazing new computer model that allows designers to create objects based on the multiple and highly specific shadows that those objects will cast when lit from different angles."

i don't quite understand how or what these designer/artists are doing, or how they are able to combine images into a three dimensional work, but it's an amazing process with equally supreme results.
