We have tried to build intriguing objects that leave you wanting to see more. These objects are mechanical but at the same time organic in their movements. They are a collection of textures, objects and movements that create images that we wanted to see." Produced and directed by We Are 17. You can read a little more about them here.

| Posted: 09 Oct 2010 07:21 AM PDT For Holiday 2010 release, New Balance has collaborated with UNDFTD on a great sneaker that pays homage to that staple of street style history, fleece. Featuring a reverse weave fleece so familiar to anyone that has worn a hoodie or sweatpants, these shoes reference leisure without sacrificing elements of style; most notably the classic 'N' logo and bright pink and blue contrasting color highlights.

| Night Photography II by Justin Carrasquillo Posted: 09 Oct 2010 07:02 AM PDT  These night photography shots by Justin Carrasquillo are absolutely amazing. Each one captures the wonder and beauty of nature. I especially love the colors in the sky and the abundance of stars illuminating the night. 2 Vote(s)

Halloween coming soon, these Pac-Man Ghost Lamps would fit well with all the other house decorations. "Those four ghosts chased away the ravenous yellow devil from their precious power pellets using only the illumination from their bodies as a deterrent. Get your own desk lamps to keep your domicile safe from the wokka-wokka of doom!"

| Fascinating Sculptures Made from Recycled Typewriter Parts Posted: 09 Oct 2010 06:00 AM PDT Those are not the eyes of the future, nor is that the face of android seeking to embody and relay human emotion. Undoubtedly compelling, this piece has been constructed with the same precision as any modern gadget, but without all of the flash- what you see above is fact a sculpture made from a relic of our technological past: the typewriter. Jeremy Mayer has made an art of disassembling all kinds of typewriters and reassembling them into the organic forms, resembling humans and animals. Read ahead about how this artist is turning outdated items into something artful and outstanding.

| valentina gonzalez wohlers: the ghost of a chair Posted: 09 Oct 2010 03:53 AM PDT  'the ghost of a chair' image © designboom mexican-born london-based designer valentina gonzalez wohlers continues her exploration of the reinterpretation of immateriality, by expanding on her 'the ghost of a chair' project. first exhibited in 2009, wohlers has now developed the chair into a series of 13 hand-made one-of-a-kind pieces, all exhibited at designersblock during london design week 2010.  image © designboom the chairs are an apparition from death, revealed to the living as a nebulous image, manifesting itself, but not actually existing: only its memory and its disembodied spirit captured and frozen in time. this is wohler's vision for her 'the ghost of a chair' furniture project.  image © designboom the chairs are all hand-made from a 4mm transparent acrylic sheet, each one's form unrepeatable due to its manufacturing process. a faint sheet, immaterial and transparent, drapes over a louis XV chair, falling over its soft curves and styled armrests, reaching the floor with full pleats and static movement.  image © designboom the drapery of the chairs can be as spiritual as the ghosts themselves. the most prominent feature of each is their gross materiality, as they seem to be conspicuously clothed.  installation view of 'the ghost of a chair' furniture project at designersblock 2010 image © designboom  some of the ghostly chairs image © designboom  individual chairs image courtesy of valentina glez wohlers  individual chairs image courtesy of valentina glez wohlers  installation view of the 13 ghostly chairs at designersblock 2010 image © designboom  image by maxime champion courtesy of valentina glez wohlers  image by maxime champion courtesy of valentina glez wohlers  draping experimentation image © designboom  documentation of the manufacturing process images courtesy of valentina gonzalez wohlers  documentation of the manufacturing process images courtesy of valentina gonzalez wohlers

| Posted: 09 Oct 2010 01:30 AM PDT Wired magazine's creative director — and overseer of Conde Nast's digital strategy — Scott Dadich recently gave a talk at the OFFSET 2010 festival in Dublin. His talk of course focused on the successful iPad edition of Wired and the collaboration with Adobe, but I found the following bit (from Creative Review's event report) to be rather interesting:
So far the biggest criticism towards the Wired app has been the lack of text control, due to the fact that every page is basically an image, and so it's impossible to resize text, copy it, share it, etc. And what Dadich says is true — for the "Goings on About Town" section of The New Yorker (the front section) all text is in fact selectable. But it needs to be said that all you can do is copy the text — there is no way to resize, or to directly share it, or do any of the things that most ebook readers let you do these days. And since I'm on the topic of The New Yorker — you can read my initial thoughts on the first issue of the iPad edition here — I'm happy to see that they did not follow Wired's example when it comes to the method of releasing new issues. Instead of Wired's annoying reliance on a full app update, new issues of The New Yorker simply appear for purchase inside the app, same as all of the Time, Inc. titles. Let's hope Wired turns to this method as well.
