Liam Young (born 13 March 1979) is an Australian born film director and architect. Young's work is situated within the fields of design fiction and critical design. His work explores the increasingly blurred boundaries among film, fiction, design and storytelling with the goal of prototyping and imagining the future of the city. Using speculative design, film and the visualisation of imaginary cities, he opens up conversations querying urban existence, asking provocative questions about the roles of both architecture and entertainment.[1][2] Young approaches his work as an architect like a science fiction author, or futurist.[3] Through his projects that escape traditional definitions of how an architect practices Young has caused some controversy in the architectural field and the comments section on the industry blog Archinect with his claim that "An architect's skills are completely wasted on making buildings"[4][5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Young

 

Famously anonymous British artist Banksy may have set up shop unannounced at the Venice Biennale arts exhibition — and was booted from the piazza because he didn’t have a permit. Video was posted Wednesday to Banksy’s verified Instagram account of a man — likely the guerrilla artist himself, although his face is obscured — displaying a series of paintings of a large cruise ship in the famed canal entitled, “Venice in oil.” Then, local police show up and appear to tell him he can’t stay there because he didn’t have a permit to operate a stall,  prompting him to pack up and leave, CNN reported. https://nypost.com/2019/05/23/...-at-venice-biennale-gets-kicked-out/
