Spotted at Neatorama this week,\u00a0C\u00e9dric Dequidt<\/a>‘s Urbicande lamp, a cubic design which appears to be sinking into the table. The Neatorama people don’t seem aware that the name of the lamp refers to Fever in Urbicande<\/em> (1985), a comic book by Fran\u00e7ois Schuiten and Beno\u00eet Peeters, and the second volume in the masterful Cit\u00e9s Obscures<\/em> series.<\/p>\n Fever in Urbicand: Urbatect Eugen Robick ponders the properties of the strange cube which is invulnerable yet able to grow through solid materials.<\/em><\/p>\n The mysterious para-dimensional cube and its effects on the divided city of Urbicande have been described here already<\/a>. Fever in Urbicande<\/em> is my favourite of the core stories by Schuiten and Peeters, and it seems to be one of the more popular of Schuiten’s creations to judge by the lamp and some of the spin-off works that follow.<\/p>\n Fever in Urbicand: Several months later, and the cube has burgeoned into a city-spanning “Network”.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sedimental Journey (1985) by Peter Principle.<\/em><\/p>\n I mentioned this solo album by Tuxedomoon’s bass player in the earlier Urbicande post. The cover image is one of a number of views by Schuiten of the Obscure World which show a corner of the Network still growing somewhere.<\/p>\n Fran\u00e7ois Schuiten Et Beno\u00eet Peeters Pr\u00e9sentent Bruno Letort: L’Affaire Desombres (2001).<\/em><\/p>\n A CD of musical pieces related to the Obscure World. Track 13 is Urbicande<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Urbatectures<\/a> (2011) by Nebulo & Druc Drac.<\/em><\/p>\n An album by a German duo based on Fever in Urbicande<\/em>. The cover image is a panel from the book.<\/p>\n Ten Axitecture<\/a> (2014) by Aliceffekt.<\/em><\/p>\n An EP whose four pieces relate to different invented places: Euxdoxia (Calvino), Tl\u00f6n (Borges), Urbicande, and Dinaisth<\/a>, a creation of Devine Lu Linvega aka Aliceffekt.<\/p>\n Fran\u00e7ois Schuiten Et Beno\u00eet Peeters Pr\u00e9sentent Bruno Letort: Le monde sonore de Fran\u00e7ois Schuiten (2014).<\/em><\/p>\n A limited vinyl collection featuring some of the same pieces of music from the 2001 CD.<\/p>\n Previously on { feuilleton } Spotted at Neatorama this week,\u00a0C\u00e9dric Dequidt‘s Urbicande lamp, a cubic design which appears to be sinking into the table.
