I don’t have a camera right now and this is really annoying. It’s an old cliché that “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” but this really made me think about the way that i document my travels (usually through Flickr) and what inspires me. Have we stopped reading? Are we a see-image-only… Continue reading Cameraless in London (an RCA show description)

The clock: Stéphanie Sauvé
“Mon nom est Stéphanie, je suis née et vis à Montréal depuis 19 ans. J’ai reçu cette horloge d’une photographe exeptionnelle; le projet suggéré m’a semblé fabuleux. Le tissage, les fils qui s’entremêlent, ces tous petits réseaux de tentions, une obsession chez moi… J’ai voulu en lien avec le temps figer ou du moins, rendre… Continue reading The clock: Stéphanie Sauvé

This Boston-based fashion and technology show has an online video of the show. Very interesting to ludic, to silli projects in my mind. The David Lu iPod Status project is shown there as well.

Nokia and leather-like finishes
Nokia’s new “L’Amour Collection” (love the use of french for this title) uses a definite fabric and leather visual language for their new designer collection. Although they are of course still using metal and plastic covers, they are recognising the use of textile fabric inspired look and feel to their phone. Definitely getting closer and… Continue reading Nokia and leather-like finishes
Adidas customizable shoes
I like this set that came out originally in 1983 but that they are rereleasing again, showing once more that consumer involvement in a product’s lifespan creates richer relationships. Via Cool Hunting.
