Mediated Matter Group
Stunning video from the Mediated Matter Group. As per their website, “our focus is on Nature-inspired Design and Design-inspired Nature”. At the cutting edge of where human meets computer, it appears that we may not even recognise our future interfaces as anything but “natural”. Sort of spooky and exciting all at the same time. Digital, […]
Nanyang PS
Imagine going to school here – colourful times ahead. This must help produce more creative, open minded, well rounded, intuitive kids. Maybe not, maybe they get over all that colour and turn goth. Probably not. I think this is awesome. The world needs more colour. Found at Architizer.
Velocipedia
Great project by Gianluca Gimini from Italy. After sourcing a number of sketches from both friends and strangers, 3D models and final renders were developed as accurately as possible, major flaws and all. The resulting bikes look quite fantastical, futuristic, although most likely unridable.
Mark Mothersbaugh
Did you know that Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh designed and sold a series of eye popping art rugs back in 2009. He did. I did not know. They are very dynamic. I like them. Too nice to wipe your feet on – these are rugs for the wall. You can see the full collection here.
Project Soli
Project Soli at Google looks very interesting, especially given the dexterity of human hands. Project Soli utilises radar to detect the ultra small sub millimetre movements made by human hands and fingers. Once built into devices, (think everyday controls on anything from radio, TV, washing machine etc) the results will be startling. A whole new […]
Room
Well I’m off to the Oscars. No not really, but sort of in a tiny obscure imaginary way. Pretty keen on the flicks, watched Room the other night, fully brilliant. Powerful tale that highlights the strength of a relationship between parent and child. Left me with that satisfying reminder of why you love cinema. Brilliant […]
Jamie Zuverza
Super ace colour and composition on these great gig posters from Jamie Zuverza. Double like.
Scott Patt
One of my favourite art finds of last year. During 2014 Scott Patt undertook a painting-a-day project entitled Bigger. Smaller. Funnier. which culminated in an exhibition at Winston Wächter Fine Art in NYC. The small, colourful almost childish looking paintings often have me laughing out loud. Often just a simple play on words, I can’t […]
Thomas Dagg
The new Star Wars film came out and all the humans (well it seems most) ran out to view. I enjoyed the film a great deal. It managed to take me to a place where I could imagine a non earth life amongst the stars, which is all I hoped for. It reminded me of […]
Japanese Youth in Revolt
You don’t usually associate reckless teenage abandon or punk ethos with the Japanese. So neat and polite, however all teenagers rebel. Great images from 1964 Tokyo by Time photographer Michael Rougier of a bitter post war minority rebelling against the mainstream.
