French artist Koralie - I likie.

Her current exhibition, titled Après la Pluie (”After the Rain”), can be seen at NYC’s Joshua Liner Gallery.

In Après la Pluie, Koralie lets loose a torrent of colorful geishas, depicted in rainbow wall paintings, hanging scrolls, silkscreen works, and large paintings on canvas hung amid collage and other decoration. While inspired by Japanese visual culture, from thirteenth-century prints to contemporary Manga, the artist also incorporates an eclectic global menu of references, including African and English hairstyles, Russian dolls, Indian folklore, and wallpaper design.

Koralie lives and works in Montpellier, France. Learn more about Koralie at kogaylou.free.fr.

It gives the rest of us not-so-smart ones great comfort to know that, even people as smart as Google can stumble on their own intelligence sometimes. In your face, geeks!

Attendees of the Google I/O conference were given t-shirts that, presumably, were supposed to spell GOOGLEIO on the front in binary. Just one problem, the actual message printed spells GOOGLEKO:

G: 01000111
O: 01001111
O: 01001111
G: 01000111
L: 01001100
E: 01000101
K: 01001011
O: 01001111

BTW did you know that upper and lower case letters have different binary spellings?
