Mona Lisa as part of the landscape

You may think that the Mona Lisa is currently hanging in the Salle des États at the Louvre. And for the most part, you would be right.

In fact Leonardo’s Mona Lisa has been in the Salle des États Gallery since 2005, when she was moved into the then newly refurbished and redesigned Louvre gallery. Her new habitat is a large rectangular space in the museums’ Denon wing overlooking the Seine. Here the painting hangs by herself on a freestanding wall, which divides the gallery.

The Mona Lisa is currently encased behind 1.52-inch-thick glass, in an enclosure that allows her to be kept in a climate-controlled environment of 43 Fahrenheit with 50 percent humidity. The climate experts have determined will best keep her from suffering as little deterioration as possible as she continues to age. This enclosure also accommodates a tiny spotlight. On a shelf in front of the painting, the spotlight helps compensate for reflections and brings out the colors that were lost in the somber displays of her past.

Mona’s gaze falls on Veronese’s monumental Marriage of Cana, which hangs on the opposite wall. Fifty-two other works from the Italian Renaissance surround her on the other gallery surfaces of the Salle des États. All highly regarded Italian masterpieces done by artist such as Titan, Tintoretto and Lotto. These fifty-three storied artworks are then themselves surrounded by 6.6 million visitors annually – 20,000 daily.

As testament to her international status, we can thank Nippon Television and their $2.2 million for the restorations to Mona’s gallery. A Japanese company, Nippon Television has also financed the cleaning of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as well as committing to restore another Louvre galley. The “Venus de Milo” is to benefit from their attention, when the Louvre’s Sully Wing is reorganized and redesigned to accommodate the sculpture. It’s great when one art form can support another.

At the same time the Mona Lisa holds court at the Louvre, she can also be found on the courtyard floor of a shopping mall in Britain, on the side of a barn in Wisconsin, growing in a rice paddy in Japan, as a corn maze in Massachusetts, or as a light installation off the Seine in Paris.

Mona Lisa as she appears as part of the landscape is my next exploration. In most cases I won’t be able to give you the why, but I can tell you the where. Ms. Lisa is replicated in some pretty strange places around the globe. We’ll start with new newest, (and yet to certified largest), appearance in an English shopping mall where she was built to serve a cause.

We’ll cover that in the next posting. And as always, thanks for stopping by.

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 7

The Paintball Assault on the Mona Lisa

As a fan of both the cable program Mythbusters and Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, I am pleased to talk about both in this posting.

The paring of Mona and Mythbusters is at first blush an unlikely one. But as the most universally known work of art, it isn’t much of a stretch to think that if the Mythbusters duo were going to re-create a work of art, then the Mona would be their likely target. And as target, I’ve aptly described how they re-created her. Since paintball guns were the brushes Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman used to make their version of the Mona Lisa. 

In August of 2008, the boys of Mythbusters were invited to the Nvidia’s NVISON conference in San Jose, CA. Mythbusters was enlisted by the conference organizers to provide the closing act. That last bit of sparkle and pow, everyone would go home and talk about.

Their closing act, as Adam describes it, was a “science lesson” on how a GPU processor out performs a CPU. And with all things Mythbuster, blowing stuff up and shooting things was involved. And on a good day…they’ll use robots.

This was a good day.

Taking six months to build two robots, Jamie and Adam fashioned a demonstration on Parallel Processing for the closing performance at NVISION. Not a subject I would find particularly scintillating, but as always the Mythbusters demonstrate you can have fun with just about anything.

Two robots were built. One robot to mimics the performance of a CPU. (A CPU works by performing a series of discrete actions, executed sequentially.) The other showcases the enhanced power of a GPU. (GPU’s can do immense parallel processing, producing high quality graphics for video games.)

The first robot, dubbed Leonardo, exhibited how a CPU processor works. And Leonardo functioned as designed when he methodically painted a Smiley-face using a single paint gun that was attached to its head.

It came off like a clever party trick. Amusing, but lacking wow.

Leonardo’s lackluster performance acknowledged, the Mythbuster boys set themselves a task to paint something more complex. Hence, their decision to re-create the most famous Smiley-face of them all… the Mona Lisa.

And of course, this was going to require a bigger bot. The Leonardo 2.0.

Leonardo 2.0 was built from a thousand pounds of aluminum and steel…a mile of high-pressure air hose… which required hundreds of pounds of compressed air… with 1,100 specifically addressed paint balls in 1,100 paint ball barrels.

When the trigger on the Leonardo 2.0 was hit…

… 2,100 gallons of air went through accumulators… then out a series of valves… into 1,100 paint gun barrels (all of exactly the same length)… at the bottom of which was a paint ball… which flew across 7 feet of space… and in 80 milliseconds… hit their target.

When it was all said and done… there was a new, freshly painted Mona Lisa and a new Guinness World Record. (Fastest painting of a Mona Lisa.)

Take a look at the video.
http://www.nvidia.com/content/nvision2008/day3.html

Be warned, it may take awhile to download. And once downloaded it’s a whopping 9:21 minutes long. Shorter versions of this performance can be found on YouTube. But the image quality on everything I looked at was grainy and unstable. This link is from the conference, and the production values are superior to anything else I’ve been able to find. Trust me, if you are going to watch the video, this is the video to watch.

Today’s paint ball post, marks the last entry on “Mona Lisa at Play”.

At least for now.

What’s next in the Mona exploration?

Not sure. Thinking about showing off Mona in the many off beat places she has appeared. But I don’t know. Might be fun to start talking about some of the serious artists who have used her image. Or some of the ads she has appeared in. Or I could talk about why she is the global icon she is. I just don’t know.

I’ll wait and see what my mood is when I sit down to write about her again. In the meantime, thanks for taking the time to read and explore with me, the Mona Lisa in all her iterations.

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 6

Mona Lisa as a plaything

I’m about to wrap up my postings on the Mona Lisa and her appearance in… and her fabrication from…toys.

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this section. I’m planning on ending this toy exploration with a posting about Mona Lisa and paint guns! But for today, I thought I’d put on view some of the remaining hodgepodge of items that bear a Mona Lisa connection to toys.

As with some of the work that has been discussed in prior postings, people are intrigued with the challenge of rendering the Mona Lisa under very restrictive conditions. Perhaps that is why there are quite a few people who have made Mona images using an Etch-a-Sketch.

The work at the top of the post was done by Jeff Gagliardi. For almost 40 years, he’s been working in this black and white “medium”. Jeff has stated he enjoys taking the familiar and reproducing it in an unfamiliar way. Speciffically, he likes taking familar paintings and re-render them with his etch-a-sketch. And his images have won him some acclaim. The Denver Art Museum and the Berkshire Museum in Massachusetts are among his fans. As are many galleries around the country.

Attached are other samples of his work. Followed by some other Mona Etch-a-sketch finds.

A breakdown of the images:
Jeff Gagliardi’s works comprise the first two images.
After Jeff’s work, there is a picture that was found on the Pensky Library Flickr Photostream.
Next, is an image taken from an online animation entitled, “Babs and Knuckles”. (You can find them on YouTube.)
And there is a very cool Mona rendered by an artist named Etcha. Check out her photostream on Flickr for more images.
What follows are Mona playing cards. A Mona paint by number. A Mona paper doll. A Mona Pez dispenser.

(Also of note, there is a gentleman who has built a machine called a Sketchdunio, which is an automated Etch-a-sketch. The Mona Lisa is among many of the artworks the Sketchdunio has re-created. Works you can see on his site http://joetcochran.googlepages.com/sketchduino.  But be advised that the site is full of code and programming jargon. Checking out his YouTube video is a bit easier to take in. His video has his machine render a Caribou Coffee logo.)

Mona Lisa has assumed many forms… some more playful then others. But all add to the growing collection on Mona.

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 5

Which of the 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible configurations make a Mona Lisa?

Over 30 years ago, Erno Rubik figured out a puzzle.

From there it didn’t take too much time before others figured out a few additional things to do with Rubik’s puzzle. Today the puzzle continues to inspire projects from novelty products and home furnishings to technological gadgets and culinary treats. The cube has even inspired a kind of art movement.

Rubik Cubism isn’t a bona fided, authentic, art history certified art movement. Certainly not something you’d find discussed in E.H. Gombrich’s “The Story of Art.” But Rubik Cubism is the name for imagery fashioned out of Rubik’s Cubes.

What type of person builds Rubik inspired artwork? People… like an electrician and a space invader.

After Robert McKinnon sets aside his electrician’s tools and before he picks up his Rubik blocks, Robert creates a 6-toned pixilated grid of a selected image in Photoshop. This grid is his schematic for building a Rubik image. It’s a 6-toned grid to correspond to the 6 different colors found on a Rubik’s cube… white, red, blue, green, orange, yellow. Not a very nuanced color palette. But check out this formula…

8 x 37 x 12 x 210 approx. 4.33 x 1019

There are exactly 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 permutations, (which is approximately forty-three quintillion), ways to configure this puzzle. And it’s exactly why I never was drawn to tackling this puzzle.

This is no light-weight work of art. 315 cubes affixed to a wooden surface that measures 4 feet tall, makes this Mona rendering weigh in at a hefty 80 pounds.

What’s Robert’s motivation…"making art out of unusual things"—in an "attempt to cure boredom."

“I use a Rubik’s cube like a painter uses paint. They are my color palettes, and by twisting hundreds of them, I create a canvas. I like this idea because it is totally unexpected but the result is awesome.”

-       Space Invader

Space Invader is a world tagging street artist. Most noted for his cubed, Pac-man-esque alien mosaics that he affixes to street side surfaces; Space Invader appreciates the limits “painting” with cubes imposes. Enjoying the challenge of turning limitations into assets.

A close comparison of the two men's Monas, leads me to believe they were both working from the same Photoshop plan. Differences can be found in the height (Space Invader has one more row of cubes then does McKinnon). And there is a difference in the “signature” which is found in the bottom right corner. While there is sameness among the artist’s in their Mona’s, they both have very diverse and varied other cubed artwork.

Robert McKinnon doesn’t have a website, but a Google search yields more images. Space Invader’s works can be found at www.space-invaders.com.

I’ll close with some other Rubik inspired objects. In order of appearance… an Absolute ad, a piece of furniture, a purse, and a cake.

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 4

A Mona Lisa made from Ivory?

Historically, ivory was the material of choice. But today Domino sets are made of synthetic materials, such as ABS or polystyrene plastics, or Bakelite or other phenolic resins. These materials are often chosen because they best approximate the look and feel of ivory. Today, it’s not uncommon for modern sets to stray from the white tiles with black dots. You can find different colors for the dotted numerical display or for the base tile. Colored and translucent plastics are considered modern iteration of the ivory tiles.

The end result… there exits a diverse selection of dominos tiles in the marketplace.
And this selection is the raw material some artists use to create their own version of the Mona Lisa.

So today, we are going to be exploring the Mona Lisa as she is found in Domino tiles.

The origins of the game of Dominos are attributed to the Chinese. With the oldest domino sets dating around 1120. Europe…specifically the Italians, started playing the game in the early 18th century.

Considering his love for puzzles and games, it’s not a stretch to suggest if Dominoes were around in his time, Leonardo would have played with them. I’d be surprised if he wouldn’t have engaged them into his own scientific inquiries. But would he ever have contemplated making art with Dominos? Or ever consider that his art would be re-created with Domino tiles?

The subtleties of his sfumato technique are lost with the use of tiles. But I think he might have been impressed with the ingenuity used in employing such a limited medium for recreating images.

Dominos + Algorithms + Integers + computer programming. Not the typical stuff of art. But Mr. Bosch, a Professor of Mathematics at Oberlin College, has devised the means to convert images into domino art. His software divides an image into areas of gray scale values. These values range from white to black. And to each grey value in a section, the domino that best represents that value is assigned. More impressive still, the Professor also imposes the requirement to work only with complete sets of dominos. If a set comes with 48 pieces, he uses all 48 tiles. It’s a discipline that would have impress Leonardo.

Visit www.dominoartwork.com to see examples of Professor Bosch’s other domino artworks. You can even order your own portraits made from dominos.

4519 colored domino tiles were used to create Mona Lisa for this video.

Flippycat is the creator. Here is a guy that really loves dominoes. His site is www.flippycat.com.

And now for something completely ridiculous and completely unrelated…

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 3

LEGOS and ART

The focus of this entry is fine art re-created out of LEGO building blocks. Thus continuing the investigation of Mona Lisa as she is constructed out of children’s toys.

The primary function of a set of LEGO blocks is to construct something.

Structures. Vehicles. Cities. Random-colorful-nonfunctioning-what-is-this-suppose-to-be-shapes. Even the occasional working robot.

You build something, then break it down to build something else. I suspect it was a part of everyone’s creative play growing up.

But is it art?

Legos have been around since the 1940’s. Currently, the product extensions include movies, music videos, games, competitions and even theme parks. (Lego Group operates 4 Leogland amusement parks worldwide.)

One cool thing about these building blocks is that even though block construction has changed since the first manufactured playing piece, (changed in its design and purpose), Lego pieces built in 1958 still work with sets on store shelves today. Pieces remain compatible no matter what set you use. And there are thousands of different sets out there. The company estimates that in 50 years they have sold over 400 billion Lego blocks.

And a few of that number have been put to use re-creating artwork.

Leogoland has already been mentioned so let’s start there.

The picture at the top of this posting is a detail of the Mona you will find at the Leogoland amusement parks. And below is the full image of the work.

Eric Harshbarger is one of a dozen full-time freelance Lego artists in the country. His prices depend on the scale and complexity of the Lego construction. Starting at a few hundred dollars then moving upwards of $10,000 for those constructions that are large and involved.

To get a sense of Eric’s extensive output, I suggest you wander through the pages attached to the above link. His site says he has greatly pared down his commissioned work. So don’t get too excited if you want to commission your own Mona Lisa.

The “Mona Lego” Eric built in 2000, is a commissioned piece that measures about 6 feet wide by 8 feet tall. The construction of 30,000 blocks, weighs in at 15 pounds. He used the standard primary colors, red, green, blue, yellow, white and black to render Da Vinci’s work.

A former banker turned Lego artist, Marco Pece, recreates masterpieces with Lego building blocks. The average construction takes nine days to complete, as it is built in stages, photographed, then assembled on his computer.

He does amazing things with these dimpled plastic blocks. I strongly suggest you visit his website, http://www.udronotto.it. You will be enchanted.

Here are a few other Lego artists that I think you might enjoy as well. Even though I could find no Mona Lisa re-creations in their body of work, they all have a thing for re-creating works of art.

Andrew Lipson and Daniel Shinu prefer Esher to Da  Vinci.

Brian Korte of Brickworkz is partial to Lichtenstein.

John Cake and Darren Neave of The Little Artists, have gone with the outrageous Damien Hirst.

And the last artist you should checkout, Nathan Sawaya.

Child’s play is not so childish.

Mona Lisa at Play: Part 2

So Let’s Play

Went through some old files in my Mona collection and came across a Wooly Willy styled Mona Lisa.

I wasn’t diligent about recording my findings when I first started looking for Mona. No notes were included with the image. Nor can I recall when or where I made this find. So I would have to do some hunting for information on this Mona creation.

Luckily, I also had an image of the backside packaging for this toy. On the back of “Magnetic Mona” and just underneath the short bio of Leonardo and the instructions of how to give Mona a make-over, the name of the manufacturer and the web address were found.

Bingo.

Well, not so fast.

An online search simply yielded a wealth of lyric information for a Chris Brown tune. But nothing on a company called Gimmethat.

So I got nothing but a front and back image of a toy that uses metal filings and a plastic wand tipped with a tiny magnet. Moving the fillings around to paint a new Mona visage.

So…I’ve separated out the Mona make-over suggestions found on the packaging.

And then I made a Wooly Willy Mona of my own…just for fun.


What shall I play with next? Legos? Or Domino’s?

The Mona Lisa at Play: Part 1

100’s of Puzzles Surround the Mona Lisa

What toys did Mona play with as a child? Obviously, Legos and Etch-a-sketch were not developed at the time of Mona’s childhood. But these items of play do have an affiliation with Ms. Lisa. Because toys made with Mona’s image are in healthy supply.

PUZZLES

Puzzles are probably the most common playthings using Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. His image is used in the most diverse of ways.

As with a lot of things concerning Mona Lisa, there are puzzles made from the original painting, and puzzles made from Mona abstractions. I’ve included examples of what I am talking about.

Traditional Puzzles

Puzzles that are faithful to the Mona Lisa image include puzzles from manufacturers’ such as Trifel, Ravensburger…and the good people who brought us Moron Magnets.

Traditional Puzzles, but not da Vinci’s Mona.

Puzzles using Mona’s image, but are not so faithful representations of the Mona Lisa.… are just as readily found in the marketplace.

Pictured from left to right:

• Robert Silver’s Photomosaics. 500 pieced puzzle by Buffalo Games.

Mr. Silver’s was a student at the MIT Media Lab when he discovered a way to blend images from fine art to create a duplicate image of fine art.

• La Gioconda, Leonardo Da Vinci 1000 piece “Quoteographs” Puzzle. (A Mona Lisa poster is included with the puzzle.)

• Ravensburger 500-Piece, Mona Beana.

• A Mona Lisa Edge puzzle from TCD Games.
Its challenge? Every piece has at least one straight edge. So starting constructing a puzzle from the edges of the puzzle and working in, will be a tad tricky.

• And a 1967 1,000-pieced puzzle from King.

Most recently, at this years Tokyo Toy Show, Beverly Enterprises announced they will be releasing in September, the world’s smallest 1,000-pieced puzzle. The image to adorn the smallest puzzle? The Mona Lisa.

Like the Robert Silver’s Photomosaic puzzle, this puzzle will also be composed of a mosaic of masterpieces.

Just how small this puzzle will be is unknown. Exact measurements were not released.

Puzzles in different states of completion, made into complete images

Next, there are puzzles of the Mona Lisa image, where the puzzle and the Mona image are combined to fashion yet another image.

The image at the top of the posting is an example of this particular category. Found on a blog posting by Vishal Bharadwa’s “AllVishal” website.

Other puzzled Monas I’ve found include an image from Rabkaman’s Flickr  Photostream. Another puzzle was found on FreakingNews.com. And a third found as part of a blog posting on a pending documentary about the theft of the Mona Lisa.

The_Mona_Lisa_at_Play_Part_1.zip (427 KB)

(One of the interesting things about this last finding…Joe Medeiros of the “Tonight Show” is involved in the filming of this documentary. The movie is entitled “A Missing Piece”).

Mona as a painted puzzle

There are others of this ilk, but I rather like Ken Hamazaki’s, Mona Lisa #5 as an example of this type of Mona + puzzle.

Mona Lisa as a piece of the puzzle

And finally, there are puzzles Mona Lisa helps solve.

Symbologist, Dr. Robert Langdon used the Mona Lisa to help solve a murder and reveal the mystery behind the Holy Grail, in the book/movie, The Da Vinci Code.

Mona’s Puzzles

Certainly puzzles abound where the Mona Lisa is concerned.
Who is the sitter?
Who was the painting painted for?
What is the significance of that smile?
Why is she the most famous image in the world?

Puzzles go hand in hand with this image. As apparently do images of the Mona Lisa in puzzles.

A sheepish Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa. The Shepherds. And their illuminated sheep.

My quest for showcasing the different faces of Mona Lisa continues.

I’ve dedicated my last few blogs to the Mona Lisa as she has been depicted using foodstuffs as the artistic medium. It was my intention to move on to another Mona Lisa making ingredient… toys. I have a reasonable collection of Monas made out of Legos, Dominos, Rubic Cubes and even a Mona drawn on an Etch-a-sketch. But I wanted more.

So I went trolling on the web… and I came across something totally unexpected.

A Mona Lisa made out of illuminated sheep.

I laughed. I cried, (from laughing). I wondered how they did it.

I set aside the toys to get down to business. Here is the story as I’ve best been able to piece it together.

March 19, 2009. A group calling themselves “BaaaStuds”, released this video of their exploits using sheep to create moving and static images. They called it “Extreme Sheepherding”. Two minutes and 45 seconds long, this viral ad for Samsung was shot on the green Welsh hills of Caregg Cennen.

National Sheepherding Champion, Gerry Lewis, along with a group of sheepherders and their dogs, orchestrated 400 sheep into specific configurations. Working under the direction of London’s The Viral Factory and Director James Rouse, shepherds, sheep and 43,200 LED lights were herded into creating a number of amusing images.

-       400 sheep (200 white and 200 black) make up the image of one two-toned sheep. This depiction is then made to walk across the hillside.

-       A nighttime game of Pong is played with LED lit sheep

-       Mona Lisa is “built” in segments, with sheep wearing colored LED light jackets, creating “Leonardo Baa Vinci”

-       The finale, (like any good finale) ends in fireworks… lit sheep portraying a fireworks explosion.

It is great fun. Even thought it was enhanced in post-production.

Real sheepherders. Real sheep. Real sheepherding dogs. All doing their real sheep and sheepherding thing. But the images there were all working to create were helped along in post. Computer trickery was employed.

Matt Smith, the co-founder of The Viral Factory, said the main problem they experienced, was not in herding the sheep, but in getting enough of them collected for filming. Filming coincided with the lambing season, making sheep availability difficult. Over the 2-day shoot, livestock was constantly being switched out so as not to over tire the animals.

How do sheep.. making pictures… tie into LED TV’s?

I have no idea.
But the ad did attract over 3.5 million hits just one week after being released.

Not Baaaaa-d.
(Sorry about that. Couldn’t resist.)

Another Serving of Mona Lisa (Part Two)

7.     and  8.   A starch and vegetable mix…Bento dishes

These two Bento Art images continue the Mona created out of foodstuff theme. Both images were found on the web.

Seaweed and ham appear to make up one of the lunch box Monas. But as the text that corresponds to the pictures is in Japanese, I am unable to elaborate on these works or their creators.

http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/05/08/17-amazing-bento-food-art-creations

http://www.bentobusiness.co.uk/page27.htm

9.     Fruit Roll-up

Mona out of a Fruit-roll up… why not.

Here we have a poster announcing an Edible Art Exhibition at Loyola Crown Center Gallery, in Chicago. Brenda Bramel is the artist of this Mona rendition. A Photography graduate from LUC, Brenda appears to be very versed in other mediums besides photography.

10.  The Grease from 14 Hamburgers on 11 feet of butcher paper

Yes, I saved the best for last.

Phil Hansen is a London x-ray technician who works on his art in his spare time.
And in his spare time, Phil was contacted by Arby’s to help promote their new “Roastburgers”.  Posted on March 13, 2009, the viral ad doesn’t overtly mention Arby’s, but he does say people proclaim hamburgers to be too greasy. And…well, the video demonstrates just how greasy 14 drive-thru burgers can be. The provided website, www.burgergreaseart.com, links to the Arby’s website.

I have now idea how Leonado would have responded to this Mona iteration. Leonardo da Vinci is said to have been a vegetarian.

Fernando Botero is the artist of this last work.
I wonder if he had all her foodstuff iterations in mind when he painted this work.
