Super Duper Mario Galaxy

What fascinates me about Super Mario Galaxy is… (besides the awesome gameplay) …the music. I must confess. I do appreciate certain kinds of orchestral music. Something in it just entices me to listen, feel and ride with it. And the fact that Nintendo had the guts to orchestrate a video game is just wonderful! And yes, I do wish that they’d orchestrate most of the games… when necessary.

 

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario has long been the best of the best – gameplay, art, music, you name it! All thanks to the genius mastermind,  Shigeru Miyamoto who somehow had the mind to put Mario in his head and make it come to life. In 2007, he developed another chapter for our always contending hero – Super Mario Galaxy – where Mario takes to the skies and into space to save Princess Peach and the universe from Bowser’s plan for total universe domination. Here, you’ll see some old characters from the series and some new ones who fit the chapter flawlessly. In this series of Super Mario, you get to travel from one Galaxy to the other through the help of the Luma Stars and the Star Princess, Rosalina.

Sand Art by Ilana Yahav

Someone who understands the material of choice. She definitely has control over her art material… sand. Ilana Yahav does her art as a performance piece with a camera situated above the light table where she performs her art. Although the videos aren’t in good quality, you can still appreciate the kind of art performance that she is doing. Visit her site and give her a thumbs up!
