The powerful, revolutionary works of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, as well as Picasso and the Cubists — whose blocky abstractions echoed the geometric patterns of classical Islamic art — planted seeds of inspiration for Palestinian artists of the 1970s and 1980s, Ms. Halaby said.
|
|
He draws liberally from the minimalist animation of '50s studios like UPA (home of Mr. Magoo), meaning he uses lots of big, bold lines to form his characters and lots of blocky shapes, with occasional breaks from that format for variety's sake.

Some of those objects also appear in the Minecraft games, which give players a chance to search for tools to smash their way out of burning buildings to the sound of hacking coughs, or to combat rising flames with a blocky squirt gun.

Brightly lighted and heavily shadowed, standing out against his garishly striped robe and the horn he raises to his mouth, the German artist's balding, blocky head reads as a glimmer of self-reflection about to drown in an unthinking tide of rage.
|

The Dutch painter eschewed the typical paint-splattered garret: His workspace was a diorama of his oeuvre, the walls covered with cardboard rectangles in grays, whites and his signature primary colors, his sofa blocky blood-red and black with oblong throw cushions.

While the old G21970 was clearly designed in a pre-infotainment, utilitarian age where cupholders were seen as unnecessary conveniences, the new one takes Mercedes' industry-leading interior design language and makes it more blocky and suitable for the squared-off Geländewagen.

In the original, of course, Doc uses a DeLorean — but instead, we see Elon Musk's blocky truck as the vehicle that will whisk Marty back to 1955 at 88 miles per hour while being chased by Libyan terrorists in a mall parking lot.
|
|
On the rare occasions when Oklahoma City passed through my mind, I pictured a generic everyplace — the sort of beige and blocky cityscape (warehouse, shed, warehouse, garbage can, shed) that a 8503s video-game designer might have invented for characters to fight in.
|

Currently, to name just a couple of examples, Breuer's American Press Institute in Virginia is slated for razing to make way for condos, while a blocky former police headquarters in Winnipeg had a local council recently vote in favor of its destruction.
|
|
The selections bounce from a still life done in hard-edged, Cubist flatness to another painted with Rousseau-ish naïveté, to a blocky landscape that could have been made by Marsden Hartley — all in the same year, 1916, when he turned 26.
|
|
Of the 13 massive paintings in that long-ago show — their eccentrically blocky shapes and slick, glassy surfaces alluding, perhaps, to early video game graphics — three are included in the stunning Mark Dagley: Radical Structures, on view at Spencer Brownstone through January 21.

Darker scenes tend to fare the worst, as sunsets that are supposed to gently fade from color to color turn into blocky digital stripes and rooms lit by firelight start to look chunky and pixelated, like web videos from 15 years ago.
|

I started out as a Zebra, lolling around a desert landscape in Everything's signature blocky animation, and phased around so that I inhabited everything from ants to camels to grains of sand to tiny microscopic life forms, all in search of some meaning about life.

An antiquated, one-way broadcasting system used extensively by providers like the BBC until the internet and digital broadcasting made it completely obselete, teletext was particularly notable for its blocky, geometric, lo-res (80 by 80 pixels) aesthetic reminiscent of 8-bit gaming systems.
|
|
If we want to avoid blocky three-letter word regions, our only options are under the N or U of NUMBER — while there are words that end with U, there are way more that end with N. So that's a good place to go.

About halfway through the trailer for the 2011 movie Green Lantern—it's presumably in the movie, too, but that's impossible to verify because no one ever saw it—an otherwise ordinary Ryan Reynolds slides a big, blocky ring onto his middle finger and becomes a superhero.
|
|
De la Peña's work is aesthetically unique: it uses real location blueprints, photographs, and motion capture data to create simple digital scenes that participants can walk through in VR. It feels distinctly influenced by the blocky style of Second Life, suggesting reality rather than recreating it.

CreditCreditFred Merz for The New York Times The drab free port zone near the Geneva city center, a compound of blocky gray and vanilla warehouses surrounded by train tracks, roads and a barbed-wire fence, looks like the kind of place where beauty goes to die.

The House of Government, as it was initially called, was a mishmash of the blocky geometry of Constructivism and the soaring pomposity of neoclassicism, and had five hundred and five apartments that housed the Soviet Union's governing élite—commissars and Red Army generals and vaunted Marxist scholars.

It was taken in the Hasidic part of Williamsburg, and Hay was wearing a long black dress from a children's costume she'd bought in Jerusalem, a wig, a nineteen-fifties pillbox hat, a frock coat, blocky shoes, and thick stockings with a seam up the back.

Blocks, which is available now for free for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift (no dice for Daydream users), takes the simplicity of Tilt Brush and injects it into 3D object modeling, letting users build, export and share cool little blocky creations to the web with ease.

The Saturday Evening Post once called Columbus "Athens on the prairie" for its dozens of notable buildings, particularly by the Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (including the strikingly spire-topped North Christian Church, 230) and his father, Eliel Saarinen (the blocky-but-ethereal First Christian Church, 21993).
|
|
Instead of the graceful Art Deco forms of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, or the gleaming modernism of One World Trade Center, we are presented with a blocky cage, a contemporary take on Mies van der Rohe and 222s functionalist/international style architecture.
|
|
But as I laughed at the jokes and delighted at the facial expressions (we had precious few facial expressions in the blocky VGA version in 1990!), I would catch myself thinking, as a 30-year-old woman, this would be the perfect game to play with my kid.
|

There's scrunched-up cheesecloth, muslin, and drawing used to form the figures, but some bodies are rounded and amorphous, while others are blocky compositions of squares of color or rectangles of black that imply a body but leave the figuration as only a suggestion of the complete form.
|
|
But, the basics: Qbby squeezes other squares out of his little blocky body, which can be strung together to create hooks, bridges, steps, rockets, all sorts, used to traverse short A-to-B stages full of obstacles like spikes and lasers and massive great holes in the floor.

THE PUREST EXPRESSION of Portaluppi's vision can perhaps be found in Casa Corbellini-Wassermann, a blocky vertical villa in Milan's Città Studi neighborhood, finished in 1936 for another powerful family (its patriarch, August von Wassermann, a German-born bacteriologist, pioneered the Wassermann test, still used to diagnose syphilis).
|

The Xbox Series X, as it's called, is the next-gen Microsoft console, and it's already inspiring spirited debates about how much of a console-PC hybrid is and just how big of a performance leap it'll provide, as well as some hilarious memes about its blocky design.
|

In Santiago, similarly progressive projects became popular in the 1950s after Sergio Larraín García-Moreno — who, with Jorge Arteaga, built Chile's first Modernist structure, Santiago's blocky, round-cornered Oberpaur building — introduced a Bauhaus-inspired curriculum at the city's Pontificia Universidad Católica, or P.U.C., the country's most prestigious architecture program.
|
|
But it's also an ambitious abstraction — Chandler has chopped his bathers in two and cast them as highly geometric figures whose bodies create a series of triangles, which leads us straight back to Cézanne (not only are his forms blocky, but "The Large Bathers" is essentially one big triangle).
|
|
The game is being developed by TT Games, the studio behind the family-friendly Lego series, which got its start with a blocky rendition of A New Hope in 2005 and later expanded to cover some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
|
|
The imagery in the game is deliberately not Native in style — we see no tipis or dress usually associated with Native American culture; the landscape consists of blocky islands floating in space — in part because Nejo doesn't want to affirm any players' pre-conceived notions of what is or isn't Native.
|

She points out that "pit bull" isn't a breed but a social construct, including four breeds: the American pit bull terrier, the American Staffordshire terrier, the Staffordshire bull terrier and the American bully, but also any mixed-breed dog with a blocky head, white chest markings and a brindle coat.

Hunters' visuals might be a bit on the blocky side, more N64 of appearance than the then-contemporary Wii, with assets reused liberally (just, y'know, sometimes wheeled out in a new color); but it's a wonderfully atmospheric game, tight space station corridors and lava-surrounded landing zones alike feeling oppressive, dangerous.
|

Clearly defined rectangles aligned with the canvas's edge and dispersed across an agitated, soupy ground will always remind this viewer of Hans Hofmann's mature work; Jackson Pollock's pre-drip "Male and Female" (1942) also comes to mind, with its blocky, totemic personages crowding the foreground of an otherwise deep landscape space.

First, it lets you build a vast virtual world in whatever way you see fit, so you can do some digital journeying if real-life journeying isn't possible; and second, it lends itself to multiplayer rather well, so you can invite some friends along to help you explore your blocky world.

Mr. Ai collaborated with HHF Architects in Switzerland to develop the two-building complex: a blocky main house with a corrugated metal skin and a weathered Corten-steel guesthouse shaped like the letter Y. The property encompasses 37.5 acres in the Hudson Valley, about two hours north of New York City.

Last week, Trump's blocky, all-caps handwriting was memed as he responded to scathing testimony by U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who testified in the impeachment hearings against Trump about whether the president tried to use his power for his own political benefit for the 2020 election.

See Red Workshop, "Women Constitute Half the World's Population" (1980) (photo by the author for Hyperallergic) What's especially striking about the images collected in this book is the variety of graphic styles — some using blocky, simplified forms and bold letters, others cartoons, while some reproduced photos into a more collaged look.

Blocboy's stage name notwithstanding, the spare, sweeping, piano-driven sound pioneered by producer Tay Keith and associates is too flowing to qualify as blocky, an adjective that in hip-hop implies a sort of cartoon pixelation; Glideboy or Soarboy JB would be a truer approximation of what the record sounds like.

RuneScape (222)One of the best games to play in the early 2005s if your parents refused to pay for video games or an expensive computer, the once browser-based MMORPG's blocky, low-powered graphics and grinding gameplay gave it an endearing charm that distinguished it from the big boys on the block.
|

If ASCII is too hardcore for you, there's also now a --color flag you can pass (open source evolves fast!) that will attempt to render the images in color using huge blocky ASCII "pixels" (as demonstrated in the lead image of this post, which I believe is a rendition of the P20 Pro).

You won't get much more than that aside from some blocky trees in the corner of boxy rooms, but that's not much of a surprise since this is the work of the fast-paced 32in24 community, which gets its name from its original aim to make 32 multiplayer maps within 24 hours.

The subjects are all arranged alphabetically (according to their Italian names), adding a level of objectivity; Square, for instance, begins with the Hellenistic plan of the Agora of Ephesus and a 1951 Josef Albers painting, and concludes with a sculptural model by Mary Vieira and blocky Chinese calligraphy by Wang Hsi-Chih.

Whether employing the vibrant "stitched" brushwork of the early paintings or the interlocking, blocky and sinuous forms of the later works, Hartley layers elements to lock in the mass of a mountainside, a logjam pileup, or crashing waves between more or less narrow registers of sky above a rocky shore, lake, or valley below.

Once with walls built entirely out of old stones — some nearly three meters-thick — the now privately owned Castillo de Matrera in the small town of Villamartín features smooth concrete additions, with Spanish architect Carlos Quevedo Rojas choosing to transform the once-crumbling structure into a peculiar hybrid of ancient fortress and blocky modern monument.

The blocky blockbuster was met with major fanfare when it was revealed last month that it was landing on the Gear VR. I had a chance to try it out and wasn't overtly impressed, but it is undoubtedly a major development to have such a triple-A title landing on a virtual reality device.

FROM COINAGE: The Lavish Lifestyle of the Kardashian Kids On Thursday once again, the Vogue cover girl kept her mini LV bag and swapped out the rest of her look to hit the gym, wearing a pair of black, mesh-paneled leggings, a bright orange windbreaker, blocky black and white sneakers, and sculptural sunglasses.
|
|
It sounds weird, but that's the game: In addition to rocks, water, walls and various other items, there are blocks defining the actual rules of that level with a crude, blocky logic, such as "flag is win" and "rock is push," meaning you win if you touch the flag and rocks can be pushed.

In a new blog post on the Google Research Blog (hat tip to The Verge), a few researchers from the tech giant discuss the process of replacing the blocky VR headset with an image of the user's face for mixed reality videos — videos that show both the VR user and the virtual reality around them.

His 1980s works feel more figurative, resembling waves and blocky waterfalls, and bearing titles that allude to nature, such as the wild "Cascade" (1983), in which sheets of blue-painted aluminum hang from the ceiling of the vaulted chandelier space at the University of Toronto's Art Museum, like a chunky strand of cut construction paper.

When Kanye first showed some of its imagery while performing this song twice during the 2013 installment of NYC's Governor's Ball festival, the effect was perfectly menacing and awesome—but the video itself is shoddily made, full of seam-showing CGI and blocky visuals that less resemble, say, Arca, and more resemble bad Quake 2 footage.
|

Minecraft in all its blocky glory is setting up shop on mobile virtual reality on the Samsung Gear VR. I had a chance to demo the game at an Oculus media event during GDC in SF this week and there was a decent amount of hype surrounding the wildly popular game making its mobile VR debut.

Like their first two albums, the cover for I See You features a distinctive blocky 'X' set on a monochromatic background (xx featured white text on black, Coexist was the inverse, with an oily swirl of color in the middle), but this time it's a reflective, nearly luminescent object that turns the focus back on whoever gazes at it.
|
|
Along with the original NES-inspired design, the blocky retro controllers also have a 1980's-era wired connection that, when used with today's massive multi-foot screens, can put you a little too close to the TV. But third-party controller company Nyko is already ready with the Miniboss, a wireless controller for the NES Classic.

It's a sequence that millions of Star Wars fans have imagined, and numerous Star Wars games have tried to re-create from the original 1983 Star Wars Atari arcade game vector-based graphics, to the blocky 3D polygons of 1993's Star Wars: X-Wing games for PC, or the N64 and Gamecube's Rogue Squadron series.
|

Seeing structures like Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret's 1925 Villa La Roche in Paris on the same page as Tidy Arquitectos's equally blocky 2008 Schkolnick House in Santiago, or Loos's 1910 Steiner House in Vienna mingling with the similarly cubic 2011 Rieteiland House by Hans van Heeswijk in Amsterdam, does have some wordless communication about this heritage.

He first traveled to the region more than a decade ago to visit his friend, the Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus, known for his blocky white stucco homes in and around Melides, a serene town in a region that has, of late, welcomed residents such as the French shoe designer Christian Louboutin and the German painter Anselm Kiefer.
|

There is much to marvel about in Gosha Rubchinskiy, the Russian designer and photographer (and former hairdresser) whose cultlike ascendance can be attributed to his blocky Constructivist graphics, to the shrewdness of his styling inspired by Moscow skate rats and street boys, and to the substantial support and marketing savvy of Comme des Garçons, which distributes his brand.

These practices also rely heavily on physical models, and it was great to see a number in the show, including two big, blocky roughs for SANAA's New Museum, showing its development from a stack of cardboard boxes, and two elegant, shell-like paper models of the roof at their Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, plucked from a pile of hundreds more.

For example, Erik Demaine, a computer scientist at MIT, has proved that any straight-sided figure—an octagon, a cityscape silhouette or a blocky Bart Simpson—can be extracted with exactly one straight cut if you fold the paper up the right way first (you can make a just-one-cut Christmas tree, and your own Miura fold, at economist.com/origami).

Brighter and brasher than anything of the group's debut LP, 2013's brittle Fires in the Park, "Final Form" (which we're premiering below) is a big, blocky, indie-club ready tune inspired by dirty dancing and Dragonball Z. Meanwhile "Take Me There" and "All Smoke, No Fire" demonstrate a kind of lurching-into-sobriety seriousness that sounds like a night out ending abruptly.
|
|
Her twisted, angular, fuzzy, solid, muscular guitar sound lashes out in discrete blats, leaving pauses between each riff, dividing songs into blocky chunks: the woozy power chords between funk plinking on "Paralyzed," the thunderous strumming alternating with slower percussive blasts on "In My Head," the glowing rhythm pattern on "Heat Wave," whose '80s R&B-style keyboards add mesmerizing flash.
|
|
And while it's a genuine treat to face-off against a blocky Gozer, take down a mammoth Marshmallow Man, and hear Winston cry, "I love this town," when Stay Puft's been scorched into so much burning gloop, the story's only ever on wheels—it knows its destination, and you're merely a passenger, unable to really affect the direction of how this tale plays out.

The vibrant, blocky brush strokes in Paalen's painting "Tropical Night" nod to a pre-Columbian mosaic mask; Gunther Gerzso's "Paricutín" — named after the Michoacán volcano that erupted, along with so many bombs, in 1943 — shows a field of jagged plants enmeshed in lava; and Varo's "Hallazgo" depicts travelers aboard a whimsical ship making its way to a levitating pearl that might symbolize safety or self-actualization.
|
|
While the Indiegogo page does feature a blocky character who looks an awful lot like Mario, there aren't a lot of recognizable characters from the likes of Disney, Pixar or the other well-loved heroes of kids TV. Attempting to take a closer look (by following the Indiegogo campaign's advice to "Just search Yeehaw 23D") resulted in disappointment — the app doesn't appear to be available on the app store yet.

But throughout the album they roll and rush through a comparable slipstream with its own singular sense of rhythm — always gliding or tumbling or cascading toward some distant, unspecified destination on the horizon — and its own sound too, shiny and multifaceted and angular, stacking several layers of blocky, percussive guitar chords and high, spiky guitar noodling and twanged rubbery bass around the swooping aerial contours of her singing.

So good, in fact, that this statement holds up whether it's on the PC, consoles, smartphones, or VR. Whether I'm just trying to survive in adventure mode by building a shelter and gathering food, making whatever I want in creative mode, or jumping into random servers with other people, everything that makes Minecraft great works just as well in VR. An unexpected benefit is that Minecraft'sartstyle—blocky, pixelated, and whimsical—suits VR particularly well.
|
|
Compared to his previous album — the frantic, laser-focused Baby on Baby — Kirk is more relaxed and evenly sequenced, broadening DaBaby's constricted, somewhat insular style with guest features and genre pieces: the blocky retro piano on "Gospel" (for once, the ideal setting for a Chance the Rapper guest verse) and the spooky, horror-movie strings on "There He Go" equally slow his pace and add a gravitas, although he treats both as experimental diversions.
|

In the three years since Ms. Bode, 30, started a men's wear label that developed cult status among admirers of her blocky work wear in patchwork patterns and Colorforms shapes, she was named a runner-up for a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, was shortlisted for the LVMH prize and saw her designs snapped up by such savvy retailers as Bergdorf Goodman, Matches in London and the e-tailer Moda Operandi Men.

So it is no stretch, in other words, to imagine a young video reporter turning up in one of Mr. Gvasalia's multilayered get-ups — one hoodie layered over another; a T-shirt on top of a flannel shirt; a puffer with an uneven hem and hand-concealing sleeves paired with baggy trousers and an untucked shirt; or, for that matter, a blocky double-breasted brown suit right out of a noir film.
