…I actually am.
I remember that day so well. Bought myself a nice Seiko watch and then this guy took a picture of me!

Mimosa
“Mimosa is an interactive artwork displaying behavior that mimics responsive plant systems.The piece was inspired by the Mimosa family of plants, which change kinetically to suit their environmental conditions. The studio has used the slim form of individual OLEDs to create delicate light petals, forming flowers, which open and close in response to visitors.”
By Jason Bruges Studio in cooperation with Philips.

Swedish elevator shaft design
Been to Sweden some hundred times before but it was not until this weekend that I noticed that a lot of elevators have this sign on them.
Note: the shafts are older then 1940.

Julien Berthier
The weirder the better. That’s probably what French artist Julien Berthier must have thought. Amazing works.

The oldest living things on the damn planet
Rachel Sussman takes pictures of the oldest living things on earth. On the third picture you see some green leaves sticking out from the ground. Those green leaves are over 13.000 years old… Respect to the f*ckers!

I never read, I just look at pictures
I bought 2 posters for my poster collection this weekend in Stockholm. The first is an image of Cornelis Vreeswijk, a fantastic dutch singer turned Swedish (Listen to Veronica in Dutch or Veronica in Swedish). Vreeswijk is as popular to the Swedes as Sven Kramer is to the Dutch. And since I’m married to a Svensk tjej and Sweden is my second home country after Holland, I feel we have at least some things in common!
The other one I bought at Moderna Museet. It’s an affiche for a Warhol exhibition there long time ago, saying: “I never read, I just look at pictures”. Which definately puts a smile on the face of an ADD‘er like me.

Delivered in Beta
“How are social media changing design? What is the value of a prototype? How are work and play merging? Where is design headed in the 21st century? “Delivered in Beta” begins a conversation on these topics and invites your participation (twitter hashtag #od10beta)”

Japanese Augmented Reality with QR codes
“N Building is a commercial structure located near Tachikawa station amidst a shopping district. Being a commercial building signs or billboards are typically attached to its facade which we feel undermines the structures’ identity. As a solution we thought to use a QR Code as the facade itself. By reading the QR Code with your mobile device you will be taken to a site which includes up to date shop information. In this manner we envision a cityscape unhindered by ubiquitous signage and also an improvement to the quality and accuracy of the information itself.”
It’s the future you’re looking at.

Unhappy Hipsters
We’re not ready to go out there yet, honey. And besides, didn’t I do a pretty good job bringing the outside in?
You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation.
Trapped by the tawny palette, he struggled through yet another brown knit scarf.
The Unhappy Hipsters blog is by far the funniest thing I have seen on internet in 2010 so far.

A woman cleaning in knickers
Did you know that most women like to clean in their underwear? And that they have strange rituals doing the cleaning? Filmmaker Justin Anderson teamed up with lingerie brand Damaris to visualize these facts. Result: a pretty interesting piece of film, called Chore.
Warning: partial nudity!(Found on Creative Review)

Above the winners of The Favourite Website Awards 2009. Click on the top image to experience the Apollo 11 mission and the other one to create your on videoclip. Both really great I think.

How to kill yourself
Drop your 2.0 identities in de Web 2.0 Suicide Machine and feel free again. I’m sincerely thinking of using this website in 2010 since the Facebooks and Linked Ins of this world are annoying me more and more if I’m honest.

The land of Jon Pall Sigmarsson
Jon Pall Sigmarsson, during the eighties the infamous strongest man of the world, was, next to Geysir and before Icesave came into the news and Björk entered the stage, probably the only thing well known coming from Iceland. While we were there last week for the Iceland Airwaves festival, we tried to find his grave to honour him and Iceland, but really nobody could tell us where his grave was. But luckily we saw much, much more. I’m not going write it all down but I can tell you this: we love Iceland. A lot. Friendly people, fantastic vibe, astonishing nature, quality food, great music scene. One thing for sure: we are definately going back next year. Ceck out our pictures here, and our videos here.

Go and see: The Falling Man
A documentary about a photo of a man jumping from the twin towers during 9/11. The film is a quest to identify the person on the picture. Heavy stuff but a must to see.
