The inside of Exxopolis, the inflatable sculpture I photographed yesterday. It's lovely Inside, all curved lines and surfaces, glowing with the sunlight shining through the fairly him plastic panels.
You have to walk through barefoot and they go to a lot of effort to make sure you know it's not a bouncy castle !
It's inspired by geometric shapes, and Islamic architecture, this space was one of the highlights.
Artists from Barcelona doing fantastic things with people's hair and make up. The kid on the right had no hair, speculatively I'd suggest due to a health issue, so they glued in fur strips into a Mohawk. It looked fantastic, and she lied it, walked away with a huge grin on her face.
Now we're at BLINC, the digital art festival, and the limitations of the iPhone camera really show here. So there are only a couple of photographs, it was a lovely, small scale but interesting and quirky display of digital art and video art using city scapes and buildings. Walking under a giant elephant through a mocked up Arc de Triomph was just fun.
There aren't many photographs of the festival and artists themselves, the limitations of the phone camera are now coming evident. The lack of zoom is annoying, and it doesn't handle bright light directed onto people very well, they look washed out.
The highlights were, obviously, the Buena Vista Social Club, Astronomy who feature the lead singer from The Herd ( a surprise find as it's not one I would have picked), and Depedro, a great high energy Spanish singer. The South Korean girl playing traditional instruments ina thrash style, well the less said the better.
