I love the utilitarian nature of the prototype and had to have a go at building something inspired by it. It's cool that it's basically a moving void of space that can be used for anything. Also that it's basically a chariot, with the astronauts riding along standing at the back
Didn't quite have the heart to build the 'wounded astronaut' stretcher-bearing version. (see article)

HangerPak: Transformer Packaging Turns Into Shirt Hanger

The Optimus Prime of Packaging
Packaging is a tough one. You can often reduce the amount used, but you still need something to protect what you're shipping. One solution is to make it out of recycled materials, and to make sure that it is easy to recycle, but that's still not completely satisfactory, which is why Steve Haslip's HangerPak is so cool.

Screening: No Country for Old Men - Berlin
It’s probably best to attend this one with a friend—or you might be turning around to check your back more than once.
This chilling, award-winning drama from P.T. Anderson marked the director’s turn from respected helmer of Magnolia and Boogie Nights to a master of his field. Adapted from the Cormac McCarthy book, the film follows a serial killer (Javier Bardem, in an Oscar-nabbing performance) with a seriously bad haircut and an inexplicable vengeance. Josh Brolin’s excellent performance as the cop-who-took-the-catnip fleshes out the character study the film yields.

The "Topiary" Patio Furniture Collection by Richard Schultz
Furniture FashionWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:44 PM
When it comes to patio and outdoor furniture, why not make them part of the surroundings and harmonious with nature. According to designer Richard Schultz "I wanted to design a chair which looked like a shrub pruned to look like a chair". The Topiary Collection does a fine job of adding an organic element to their natural surroundings and features chairs, benches, and tables in muted or vibrant colors. See the rest of the classic and decorative furniture for inside or out back on the patio by Richard Schultz here.

llot_llov_milan_2009.jpg
Despite economic uncertainty, Llot Llov embraces challenge and pronounces, "The glass is full - full to the rim." The 2009 collection embraces this outlook, a series of pieces that incorporate either traditional industrial methods or materials. Lucille is macramé with a new twist, inspired by industrial transport nets. A hoist is attached to these plant cocoons in order that the height may be varied. Hopper is modeled after shopping carts, offering seating atop a rabbit fur. Lester's table legs are inspired by the ceramics of high voltage isolators, comparable to hardened steel. Above Lester hangs Zoé, a lamp of copper-covered sheet metal that acts as a warm cage for four tungsten lights. And Assa, Mata and Fide are vases that have been metal spun, a technique employed in less aesthetic contexts.

Agency Nil Will Work For All It’s Worth
PSFKWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:29 PM
An interesting new agency has just launched, that true to the times we live in, hopes to channelize the skills of experienced but laid-off talents from the advertising industry, as well as that of graduate students from advertising programs - people who just can’t seem to lay their hands on that elusive job, even though most of them are probably extremely talented. Their logic is simple: advertising agencies are willing to spend a lot to hire freelance staff but can’t afford to hire people for full-time positions. So Agency Nil will do the work that agencies hire them for, on a contract basis and in the manner of the role of a freelance employee, and in return all they’d like to be paid is what the client (i.e the agency) thinks the work is worth. They have just one caveat: that basic expenses and production costs must be covered - anything above that is at the discretion of the client. ‘Cheaper than freelance, better than interns’ is their tagline.
A brave and innovative way of thinking by Hank Leber, a graduate of VCU Brandcenter. All the very best to him and his team. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.

Beethoven and Bach would be proud. In a country where instrument-making has been whittled to an expertise over millenia, a museum dedicated to this art is only due.
Part of the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung, the Musikinstrumenten-Museum embraces the Germany’s glorious history of music with its collection of over 3,000 instruments stemming from the 16th and 21st centuries, making it one of the countries most comprehensive collections.
Sadly, only 800 of these instruments are on display, but they include a spectacular selection including a rare Strativarious violin, Friedrich the Great flutes and a massive Mighty Wurlitzer Theater Organ donated from the Siemens family. The irony: some of these might appear to be more uncommon to the modern-day visitor than the museum’s recent expansion into electronic music, which includes electric guitars, mixing stations and other experimental formats.

RunPee Helps Schedule Bathroom Breaks During Movies
PSFKWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Deciding when to skip out to the restroom during a new movie can be tough - you don’t want to miss anything crucial. But website RunPee aims to help you know the exact right time to go. The page has time-lines for popular movies, that list suggested points throughout the film when you can leave without missing an important scene. It also tells you how much time you have to get back, and has a scrambled re-cap, that can be revealed and reviewed when you return.
Although it’s a useful idea, RunPee uses Flash, which would not make it a good fit for mobile phone usage. As a commenter on Buzzfeed suggested - this would make a killer iPhone app.

B@ TV
Cool HuntingWednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:02 PM
B@ TV is a new platform (still currently in beta) created for virtual and vicarious clubbing. A pioneering web TV community, the channel broadcasts from every major club event in the world with exclusive content from the hottest international DJs—from WMC events to Deadmau5 in London.
Featured DJ Pete Tong says, "b@ gives fans the music we are playing unedited, uninterrupted and with all the interaction between the clubbers and DJ on the night." The website accomplishes this with cameras in the DJ box and on the audience, even offering a "clubber's confessional booth." It's the 360 degree clubbing experience without having to leave your armchair.
Taking clubbing to a new level of interactivity, the site allows members (you have to sign-up) to live chat, share their own content and even broadcast themselves to the community. The service enables communication with like-minded clubbers on a whole new level. Ray Smith, the founder of b@ TV explains that it "is not just clubbing on demand but an interactive community where members can re-live and share their experiences."

“Collect” is a new bookcase designed by Ole Jensen for Normann Copenhagen. It’s zingy colour and oblique, edgy form make it distinctly ‘now’, but this is not just design for design’s sake. As striking as it is in itself, what I love about the “Collect” bookcase is that it’s a thoughtful piece of furniture designed to be a modern display case for nostalgic artifacts.
Designer Ole Jensen explains: "We all have special objects that refresh memories - things that have a meaning and create the pleasure of recognition. It could be anything from a football to a stone found

Nice interview of Dieter Rams about Design @ Vimeo :
An upstart art magazine in NYC called Vaccine Art requested these two images of mine for their press kit. I thought I would upload these onto flickr as I e-mailed them off this morning. I shot these a couple of years ago in an empty K-mart in Lincoln. I freaked a bit because they wanted good scans of the images and I was afraid that I had misplaced my negatives, but I found the whole series last night and a new found realization that I should keep better care of my photos. Here is an article that I wrote about the experience of taking photos in K-mart along with more images: www.core77.com/reactor/kmart.asp
I have been holding on to these photos until this project went public.

Recompute is a new way of thinking about computers that layers sustainable ideas throughout its lifecycle to make an overall sustainable product that can be easily replicated. Recompute address sustainability along three main points during its life.
Manufacturing: Rather than making a large tower constructed from numerous materials (ABS plastic, aluminum, steel, etc.), hundreds of manufacturing processes, and dozens of individual components, the Recompute case is made of corrugated cardboard (recyclable and renewable). There are four low-impact manufacturing processes to assemble Recompute: Die cutting, gluing (with non-toxic white glue), printing and electronic assembly. Recompute uses only three major electronic components: A motherboard with processor & memory, power supply, and a hard drive.
Use: Recompute is designed to allow the user to take advantage of existing hardware. For example; use the keyboard from a previous computer. For additional flexibility, external hardware customization is easy via 8 USB ports.
Disposal: Electronic components need to be properly recycled as they contain toxic heavy metals. However, this is often skipped because dismantling of computers is difficult. Recompute can be disassembled without tools, so the electronics and case can be easily recycled individually.
Oh yes, Recompute is a real working computer.

Body image refer to our perception, thoughts, feeling and reaction to our looks.
Each person holds an idealized image of the body, which he uses to measure the percepts and concepts of his or her own body.
The loss of a limb by amputation could lead to a long-term disorder in the individual’s body experience.
The project deals with a series of prosthetic arms each refer to a specific body image of amputees.

Nice interview of Dieter Rams about Design @ Vimeo :
A whole mass of reports to catch up with after our summer break here at PSM, but this one really caught our eye:
The Shanghai based GM Company (Graffiti Machinery Co Ltd) is displaying a series of Team Robbo pieces on giant LED screens throughout China as part of a nationwide advertising campaign for their latest graffiti console. GM have developed the console in partnership with the Japanese software company 'Miarty' who are showcasing their revolutionary 'Robbo' 3D graffiti rendering technology.
Virtual graffiti that's displayed in the real world - Miarty have combined virtual reality with social gaming to provide an innovative and immersive game experience quite unlike anything the industry has seen before. Miarty lets writers create their own graffiti and street art with electronic controllers that simulate real cans of spray paint.
Players can then apply their tags all over giant LED screens located in over 30 cities throughout China. Using Miarty technology, writers can see their tags and those of other writers in the real world.
Virtual graffiti can be created at home on a PC and immediately displayed on real buildings and in streets. Watch out, it's a 'Turf War' out there, writers who tag frequently can become the King of the block... or own an entire neigborhood. To remain King, they must compete with other writers, who can add their own tags to the same streets and buildings. Players can vote other taggers up or down, or enlist their own friends as fans to build more street credibility. The rules are simple - develop your own graffiti style, bomb your street, and do what it takes to rule your territory.
GM and Miarty are among the first game companies to combine three of the most significant trends in digital media - social networking, location-based services, and virtual reality.

Just a few weeks left and then it's over.
If you've been meaning to go, now would be a good time.
The exhibit features bikes by Richard Sachs, Sacha White, Jeff Jones, Dario Pegoretti, Mike Flanigan, and Peter Weigle (me).
In addition to the 21 bicycles, there's a cool video that runs nonstop, a display of tools, shop ephemra etc. plus 25 or so New Yorker covers that feature the bicycle.

and www.core77.com/gallery/bespoke-the-handbuilt-bicycle-2010/
We hope to be at the museum this Thursday August 5th for an hour or two late morning most likely...
Museum is easy to get to and is right on Columbus Circle.
