The Ceres Enviromental Park is a community-driven project dedicated to sustainable design and living.

‘Crate Man’ is another great example of Melbourne’s diverse street art scene. Constructed from vibrantly painted milk crates, the huge figures have been found scaling fences, hanging off cranes, perched on rooftops and even fishing in a creek.

In January this year PSFK wrote about Perth’s street art group Ololo and their Condor Tower Carpark Project.  This Saturday Ololo will launch their project,  with many claiming the car park is the largest permanent street art exhibition in the southern hemisphere.  Taking twelve months to complete, Ololo was initially asked to brighten up the entrance, but the project soon grew with the group covering the entire car park, from the pillars, ramps and walls, right down to the smallest wedges and gaps.  Around fifty local and national artists contributed, including Stormie Mills, Reka One, Creepy, Yok, Pat Doherty, Daek, [...]

PSFK recently wrote about Monocle’s Top 25 Most Liveable Cities 2009. Even though Melbourne made it into the top 10, Michael from linefeed has some innovative store concepts to boost the city’s retail sector. Believing that the city lacks quirky, niche stores Michael states; When I think of [...]

Architecture firm CODA has produced an interesting take on an old idea.  The West-Australian-based firm designed the redevelopment of an old horse farm for a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.  Created to aid recovering patients the farm will house and rehabilitate abused horses.  CODA used recycled materials for the project and chose colours that would be “both uplifting and soothing for residents.”
CODA explains:
We sought to reuse as many of the materials as we could from the farm itself and develop a construction system that could be executed by many enthusiastic but largely untrained ‘builders’. The total budget for [...]

A while ago PSFK wrote about Melbourne’s recent rebirth of craft via the Craft Cartel.  The Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef project is another such example that craft is back.  The collaborative installation is run by the Stitches collective and the Institute For Figuring as a “testimony to the disappearing wonders of the modern world.” The project draws on a hyperbolic crochet technique originally developed in 1997, by Cornell mathematician Dr Daina Taimina.
The IFF explains the technique:
In 1997 Dr Taimina discovered how to make models [...]

Created by digital artist Lukasz Karluk, aka Holler and Sydney sculptor/painter Maddi Boyd (KissKiss), TimeBomb is an impressive marriage of street art and digital programing.  Held within Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, TimeBomb will see nine street / studio artists paint the space, one after the other, all documented by time-lapse photography.  The finished product will be two pieces; one the painted wall, the other an interactive projection, allowing viewers to reveal different layers of the wall via physical movement.
Karluk on the technical apects of the project;
The TimeBomb application is based on memo’s fluid dynamics library for openframeworks, ofxmsafluid. It’s [...]

Mysterious alterations to existing Council street-signage have started to appear in Sydney’s inner-eastern suburb of Darlinghurst. No one knows exactly who’s responsible for this street art, or what it means. Ideas?
