Building a star on earth
February 24th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Last tuesday we saw Horizon (BBC), our favourite tv show. This episode was about the progress of making nuclear fusion the new energy. In a few words: scientists are trying to create star power here on earth. When they will nail that, there will be enough clean power forever.
The thing is that they are actually really close. Lets say 30 years from now there will never be any pollution or whatsoever and the world wil be a place with green, unlimited power sources for eternity. So please don’t stress out too much about polar bears dying out and stop living too ‘green’ because a) it wont’t help for shit and b) it’s a total waste of time.
Lego NY
February 24th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
A series of plain Lego forms that made a person think of NYC.
It made us dream of The Big Apple too, because we will be there this thursday! Archibald and some of his team will stay in the Roosevelt Hotel on Madison Avenue and 45th street untill monday. So coming blogposts will have a New York taste too it and we will then also create our first ever podcast for Radio Kobayashi together with Bakker Wolzibolt! So stay tuned…
A.. quarium.. ah.. quarium
February 23rd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Compared to the post below this one, this ad costs probably zero dollars and is a gazilion times more creative. Simple and funny.
Pepsi
February 23rd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Pepsi has a new logo. It’s made by Arnellgroup and costs 1,3 million dollars and it’s designed with some kind of scientific approach. Does anybody really care?
The end for The End
February 22nd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
One of the greatest clubs on this planet, The End in London, closed his doors this january after many years. The club with the exceptional dj booth has been a ground for the best dj’s in the world to spin their records. In this closing video you see footage of the final night and you hear staff and dj’s talking about the good times that lay now behind them.
Behind every clever girl …
February 22nd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
…is a guy with a beard and glasses.
So true.. So true..
So, you want to start organizing a festival?
February 19th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Our friends at ZXZW threw their whole hebben en houwen on the street. Think Open Wiki 2.0 Social Festival twitter. In other words, they made their whole business model transparant through internet: “With this development the organization asks input of everyone who feels committed to the festival.” So, feel free to contribute!
Fontshuffle
February 19th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Every graphic designer sometimes wonders what kind of neat typeface it is they see on, for instance, a poster. Here’s the answer: Fontshuffle. An iPhone app that contains a whole font catalogue that solves the problem described above.
Street U.F.O.
February 12th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Not only nice street art but also a great photo.
Holy Robot
February 11th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
This robot, installed at the 3d International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Seville, writes down the whole bible. “The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision. Like a monk in the scriptorium it creates step by step the text.” Great to see how two extremes of today (religion and science) are brought together. (Thanks LouLou!)
Paula Scher: Great design is serious (not solemn)
February 10th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Paula Scher, designer of tons of record sleeves and, for instance, the CitiBank logo, talks about the fun in design. It starts pretty slow but it becomes actually quite interesting with visual examples and all. About seriousness against solemness. Just watch it.
Calma
February 9th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Calma is Stephan Doitschinoff’s alter ego. The Brasilian artist, famous for his illustrative and spiritual paintings, now bundles his work for the first time in a book.
Le Renault Dix Huite Turbo…
February 9th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
La force de silencieuse… Great ‘futuristic’ commercial with great special effects and sounds.
Time of my life
February 6th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
“17 years worth of taking 2 photos a day as my head rotates in sync with the Earth around the Sun. This is a non-dejittered, lo-res, highly compressed, preliminary version of a lifetime project. Later versions will have additional imagery throughout” Nice.
Best track ever, part IX: Can you feel it
February 5th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
By Mr. Fingers aka Larry Heard. This 1987 Chicago House masterpiece was one of the tracks that took house music to another level. Our new best track ever.
Obama’s signature
February 4th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Looks good we think! And if you compare it to Jimmy Carter’s, Ronals Reagan’s or G.W.’s signature it’s a piece of fine art.
Quite nice: T Mobile commercial
February 4th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Allright, it’s a bit corny and all but we have to admitt we raised the corners of our mouth watching this T Mobile advert. It was filmed at Liverpool Street station, London, one morning.

But seriously, are you f*cking kidding me? LET OUT THE DEMON!
Old school party flyers
February 3rd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
An endless list of old school flyers from the early 80’s in New York with names like Africa Bambaataa, Gradmaster Caz, Chiefrocker Busy Bee and Spoony Gee. Wonder if 50ct and Sean Puffy Combs realise that those yellow flyers helped to build their golden palaces. (Thanks Flattyre)
Thieves!
February 2nd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Very true and well put by film director Jim Jarmusch. Reminds us of Picasso saying: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”.
Scared mannequins
February 2nd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Funny ads created by Harvey Nichols: mannequins ducking for shelter like they were going to be hit by a vulcanic explosion of wild crazy bargain hunters.
The Lemur Multitouch
February 1st, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Futuristic multitouch panel for musicians made by Jazzmutant. It’s pretty hard to get it under control we heard, but it can perform some amazing tasks as you can see here. We want to have!

Virtual oasis
November 2nd, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
“A surface covered with black sand turns into a pool full of life when people grab and remove a handful of sand away. In this micro-world, virtual creatures are born, live and perish. They recognize their spatial boundaries and obstacles of living and respond to peoples’ touch in various ways.”
More images, video’s and explanation here.
(Thanks Vio!)

Don’t mess with King Monkey
January 20th, 2010 Katarie
A terrible interviewer asks Ian Brown stupid questions about martial arts and other irrelevant stuff. Brown gets annoyed and ends the interview with a great line in pure Madchester slang: “Do you want knocking out from here or shall I come over there?”
Brilliant, but damn, look at that face. Boose and dope made him look 30 years older I guess. -

May 20th, 2009 Sea Captain Plonk E
We love typography is a brand new site à la FFFFound but then only for typography. If you like them typefaces, throw it in your RSS reader!

But if we had a negative of this image we would make it a 2 x 2 meter print and hang it in our office so we could enjoy this scenery every day. Then it would get a place next to this one.
