Swiss Design in Hollywood (in Romania)

Not sure if this is really interesting, but I'm posting it anyway

Artists: H. R. Giger, John Howe, Christian L. Scheurer, Deak Ferrand, Natasha Devaud, Nicolas Imhof, Brigitte Wuest, Silvio Aebischer, Simon Christen, Nadja Bonacina, Simon Otto, Alex Ongaro

Swiss Design in Hollywood retraces the work and impact of Swiss artists in the areas of design and digital imagery in international film production as well as in video games. Today, many of these artists are working on some of the most publicly-recognised projects (including animated films) and are leaving an enduring mark on popular culture, although their contribution is largely unknown. Swiss Design in Hollywood gives an historical perspective on little known or underrated artistic techniques and practices. The exhibition also aims to emphasise the personal influence of particular Swiss designers and illustrators – whether they work independently or for the big special effects studios – on the aesthetics of film and video game production, without overlooking their personal creations.

I'm just saying there might be some Oddworld artwork exposed over there.

I could care less about the Oddworld designs. LOOK!!! It's H.R. Giger!!!

Giger's a powerful artist, his works are very well beautiful. I'll take the time look at these other artists, but for now, H.R. Giger deserves some praise. His stunning pictures of futures (or the present?) are carefully crafted. Heck, this dude designed the first and third Xenomorphs in the Alien Series, designed Sil in Species, and had many more designs.

Sorry 'bout that, but I personally find his stuff more cooler than OW ...

Yeah, H.R. Giger is pretty good
