Many people tend to see in the constructor Lego just fun for children and some adults who did not play enough in childhood. But there are people who perceive LEGO as art. These include the Japanese artist Sachiko Akinaga, which created from the blocks of this constructor The New York Times newspaper logo … He called his work simply and clearly "T".
The LEGO constructor and the people who use it in their work have appeared dozens of times on the pages of the Kulturologia. Ru website. Examples include an abandoned Victorian house with 110,000 LEGO bricks from Mike Doyle, a Life-Size LEGO Batman from Evan Bacon, and the LEGO Architecture Workshop at the Reykjavik Museum.
Gradually, people begin to take LEGO seriously, treat it not as entertainment, but as a real art. And not only individuals, but also respected organizations! For example, one of the largest newspapers in the United States of America - "The New York Times", which commissioned the Japanese artist Sachiko Akinage its logo from LEGO.
Eleven days of work for sixteen hours, and now an unusual sculpture with a telling name "T" is ready! It is 2 meters high and is a toy building made of LEGO bricks, styled after the fancy letter T from The New York Times logo.
Apparently, this building is a hotel, and not the editorial office of a respected American newspaper. After all, on the roof it has a swimming pool with people swimming in it and several bars with bartenders, musicians, dancers and lovers of strong drinks.
Around this building, there is a toy park in which people rest. Someone walks along the paths, someone rides on their bicycles, someone sits on benches, someone has fun on a picnic, someone is engaged in various sports (jogging, gymnastics, strength exercises). If you look closely, you can find Easter eggs - four people reading The New York Times.
