Emma Kunz

Better RECOGNIZE. Emma was a healer, researcher and artist who was telepathic and had divine powers:

"Even in her schooldays, Emma Kunz occupied herself with exceptional happenings. When she was 18 years old, she began to use her abilities of telepathy, prophecy and as a healer, and she began to exercise her divining pendulum."

Her bio goes on to say she was dedicated to activating "powers that lie dormant in everyone" and discovered a healing rock that is, to this day, approved by the Swiss Agency of Therapeutic Products. And then there was her art, which people believe her knowledge is "coded" within. via but does it float

Aakash Nihalani

Jockin' everything Aakash does, but I love the whimsicality of his public art the best. His Flickr stream is also worth following. via Flavorwire

From Aakash's statement:

"I'm not trying to push a certain highbrow logic or philosophy or purposefully communicate through the esoteric medium of art. I work instinctively, trying to follow my gut about the sensation of color and space, and have fun doing it.

People need to understand that how it is isn't how it has to be."

Homage to color

Since I saw the Bauhaus exhibit at the MoMA a couple weeks ago I've been thinking non-stop about Josef Albers.
