Luke Ramsey | Color in Motion 243
Luke Ramsey is a self-taught Canadian artist and co-founder of “Islands Fold”, an artist residence (Pender Island, Canada) which promotes and specifically supports creativity and art production. Luke’s work is characterized as organized chaos. He is inspired by many artists he’s collaborated with like Jon Boam and EKTA. He is influenced by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee. His work has been exhibited in art galleries around the globe. Although he prefers media print and public art he doesn’t consider his work as graffiti, “I like street art, because it’s a different way to express yourself. It seems less about ego and more about connecting with the audience”.
One of his more famous work is “Giant Transition”, a big mural painted in the Howard Building Society, Edmonto, Canada, in collaboration with Josh Holinaty. Although it just seems a squiggle shaped person, it actually has a good story about consumerism and transition from destruction to a world in harmony with nature. The mural won an Award of Excellence in 2011 from The City of Edmonton, and a National Urban Design Medal in 2012 from The Royal Canadian Institute of Canada. Recently he made the Japandroids poster for the Polaris Prize 2012 Short List Nominees and collaborated illustrating for the sci-fi book “The Where, The Why and The How”.
Mear One & Daedelus present “Humanity vs The Machine” | Art News
“When one feeds their soul, they can feed many. Don’t give up.” – Mear One
The following statement is one of a few words from Mear One that opens this eight minute visual and sound time-lapse project headed by Mear One, producer Roger L. Griffith and electronic extraordinaire Daedelus. Mear One is one of the most important street artists to us from the endless amount of inspiration his works stand for and the type of knowledge he is spreading through his networks and art. He is an artist who has never been afraid to walk out on the edge and really define something new for the art world and the consciousness of the 20th and now 21st century. The musical pairing of Daedelus creates the perfect setting for the visuals to really activate. I love when film, art and music come together on this level.
From Mear One | http://www.mearone.com/
This marks the most complex of the year long mural tour of MEAR ONE. Keeping in line with the stream of thought carried throughout the subject matter of each mural, Humanity Vs. the Machine is an homage to the individuals who stand in resistance to authority, oppression, and slavery inflicted on the human soul.
Produced by: Roger L. Griffith
Original Music by: Daedelus

Porter Records
2935 S. Fish Hatchery Rd, #414
Madison, WI 53711 / USA
Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
