Our adidas x Forces of Nice art show in Hong Kong was a huge success thanks to all our friends who have been so supportive and helpful. The show attracted a ton of media and we managed to get some great press in 4 very respectable local magazines including Milk, a prominent urban fashion magazine in Hong Kong.
As the adidas store filled up at maximum capacity of 300+ socialites, celebrities, editors and models we kicked off the party with a live electronic music performance set by Tom Pettapiece and I did a quick digital graffiti wall performance (provided by Tangible Interaction) demonstration.
We are super grateful and happy that the art show party exceeded our expectations but more importantly our friends at adidas were extremely happy with how it all turned out.
We will share more press clippings here as we get them.

Polaroids are real, tangible, immediate. To a small child watching them develop, they are magic.
Polaroids are unmistakable and instantaneously recognizable. "Ah, that's a Polaroid..."
The Greeks has encaustics (pigmented wax), and many artists today still work in encaustic The Romans had fresco, a difficult and unwieldy medium that is still available should someone want to use it. Silverpoint, lithography, drypoint; all still options for visual artists. Sculpture, weaving, furniture, and so on... every craft and art can still be executed in the media that has been available to its artisans for centuries.
Then there is photography. Newton & Windsor goes out of business, painters can always purchase another brand of oil or acrylic. Sculptors will never run out of things to carve, weld together, or otherwise manipulate. Photographers are not so lucky.
The fate of all photographic media - the very tools on which a photographer's means of expression depend - is decided entirely by the corporations that manufacture said media. Once production of a media is halted, the form of artist expression that depends on that media, dies forever.
Finally, Polaroids existed before I was born and I cannot bear the thought that I might outlive this fantastic medium.
That is simply not fair.
One of the first things you’ll likely notice at Rocky Ford Landing is this abandoned railroad trestle. Damaged by an Ogeechee flood in 1902, it represents a tangible link to an era of South Georgia lumber barons who would do anything to distribute their product, even if it meant building their own railroads. A 10-mile “shortline”, it was constructed in the early 1890s by the E. E. Foy Lumber Company to connect his naval stores operations in Portal to the Central of Georgia line at Rocky Ford and was abandoned by 1905. The business was highly profitable but ultimately unsustainable. After extracting turpentine from the rich forests of the region, Foy cut the timber and sold off the property, but not before making a boomtown of Portal, still known today as the Turpentine City. A 1903 Statesboro News article noted: A quarter of a century ago, Bulloch was a great pine forest and majestic pines covered every hill and dale from the Ogeechee to the Canoochee. Enough pine timber was in the county to have built a modern New York…The turpentine men came first and the big and little trees were all boxed until today only a few tracks of virgin timber are standing and it looks like an oasis in a great desert. After the turpentine operations came the sawmill men and the standing timber was slain at an alarming rate, until now timber is a scarce article. The naval stores men are moving away to Alabama and Mississippi and the saw mills will soon have to follow them, yet it had its benefits in the way of opening hundreds of new farms and a great influx of population so that where the stately pines used to grow and sing their weird songs, cotton and corn now grow in wealth in their place.
DALIAN/CHINA, 15SEP11 - Shinichi Takemura presents his Tangible Earth -- the world's first digital globe -- to visualize the impact of natural disasters on our planet and the crucial need for emergency preparedness at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, China, September 15, 2011.

The exhibition shows through fourteen interactive stations that the fate of man is tied together with the fate of the seabirds along the coast of Norway.
In short; The fact that our birds, our old way of life and our climate are threatened are intertwined, and they all result from our globalized way of life.
When designing the exhibition the goal was to, by provocative and evocative installations, motivate people to action rather than overload them with information or preach to them with morals. The focus was on interactivity rather than on a passive intake of information.
The installations are quite unique where tangibility plays a key role and adds to the playfulness of the experience, but we also used Kinect motion tracking for a “full body interaction” when needed.
Together this creates a meaningful experience where guests are involved to be co-creators through multiple interactions.
The exhibition was designed by Gagarin and Batteriid Architects aſter winning a 1 prize in a competition for the project.

U.S. highway deaths fell to 33,808 for 2009 -- the lowest number since 1950.
The record-breaking decline in traffic fatalities occurred even while estimated vehicle miles traveled in 2009 increased by 0.2 percent over 2008 levels.
In PA, total fatalities were 1,256 in 2009, compared with 1,468 in 2008.
Alcohol-related fatalities were 406 in 2009, compared with 499 in 2008.

and scroll down to Table #8.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood released the updated 2009 fatality and injury data in a press release September 9.
According to the press release:
2009 saw the lowest fatality and injury rates ever recorded: 1.13 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2009, compared to 1.26 deaths for 2008.
Fatalities declined in all categories of vehicles including motorcycles, which saw fatalities fall by 850 from 2008, breaking an 11-year cycle of annual increases.
“At the Department of Transportation, we are laser-focused on our top priority: safety,” said Secretary LaHood. “Today’s announcement shows that America’s roads are the safest they’ve ever been. But they must be safer. And we will not rest until they are.”
As part of the Department’s campaign to reduce traffic fatalities, Secretary LaHood is holding a National Distracted Driving Summit this week in Washington, D.C. The Secretary is bringing together leading transportation officials, safety advocates, law enforcement, industry representatives, researchers and victims affected by distraction-related crashes to address challenges and identify opportunities for national anti-distracted driving efforts. This follows the first summit Secretary LaHood held in the Fall of 2009 that sparked a national conversation about texting and talking on cell phones while driving.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study based on 2006 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) data, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 3 and 34.
In addition to the record-breaking drop in fatalities, the number of people injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2009 declined for a 10th straight year in a row, falling an estimated 5.5 percent from 2008, according to NHTSA data released.
Alcohol impaired driving fatalities declined by 7.4 percent in 2009 – 10,839 compared to 11,711 reported in 2008. Overall, 33 states and Puerto Rico experienced a decline in the number of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in 2009 compared to 2008.
“Today’s numbers reflect the tangible benefits of record seat belt use and strong anti-drunk driving enforcement campaigns,” said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland. “But we are still losing more than 30,000 lives a year on our highways, and about a third of these involve drunk driving. We will continue to work with our state partners to strictly enforce both seat belt use and anti-drunk driving laws across this nation, every day and every night.”
Forty-one states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico all had reductions in fatalities, led by Florida (with 422 fewer fatalities) and Texas (with 405 fewer fatalities).

Nuance. Holding this journal, the difference is tangible. Not a perfect book, but perfect for someone. The Zerkall Frankfurt paper is truly lovely.
9.75" x 7" 96 sheets (192 pages, both sides)

>About the leather: Kodiak Oil-Tanned Leather, dark brown.
Here is a leather as rugged as its name implies. This oil-tanned leather has pronounced grain that gives character to the soft hide that is durable and moisture resistant. 4 oz.
The leather detail on front cover flap is a bit of green nubuck cowhide (an old favorite).
>About the paper: Frankfurt, Ivory, by Zerkall
Characterized by irregular 'wavy' laid lines and the sexy Zerkall watermark, Frankfurt is a delight to handle. Writing on this artisan paper versus commercial paper is a world of difference. But don't take my word for it!
Zerkall Renker & Sohne paper mill, run by the Renker family in its fourth generation, dates from 16th century in the valley of the river Kall between Cologne and Aachen in Germany. Although the mill now only manufactures mouldmade papers, their sheets mirror papers of the past while incorporating modern technology to insure stability and permanence. Zerkall mixes exacting amounts of cotton rag and high alpha cellulose to obtain sheets that are strong, yet able to absorb ink without bleeding. All their papers are acid free, neutral sized, alkaline buffered with calcium carbonate and contain no optical brighteners.
>About the endpaper: Egyptian Papyrus
Papyrus was, and continues today to be handmade from the papyrus reed that grows in freshwater marshes along the river Nile, though today this growth is rare and controlled. Egyptians considered it the "everlasting" paper because it has been found in perfect condition in tombs dating back to 2700 B.C.

Taken at the Garrison district of Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, Poland.
History:
The preserved and restored historic buildings are a tangible proof of the hundred years of the mysterious history of the area, at which the Garnizon district is located. This, covering almost 30 hectares in Gdansk Wrzeszcz, area for over a century was encircled with a wall hiding objects and military secrets. At the end of the nineteenth century began the implementation of the first barracks for the formation of the 1 and 2 Hussar Regiment of the Privy Guard of the Emperor William II, also known as the Black Hussars. The artistry of the old-time architects and builders can be admired today in the restored buildings at Grunwaldzka Avenue and ul. Słowackiego.
Establishment of the Free City of Gdansk with the Treaty of Versailles had a significant impact on the fate of this land. A demobilized Free Gdansk parted ways in 1925 with the military, and the place of colourful hussars in the barracks was taken by the Schutzpolizei (Protection Police) units of the Free City of Gdansk, which in the vicissitudes of history functioned here until the end of the World War II.
After 1945 the area was nationalized and taken over by the Polish People's Army stationed in various formations for more than 50 years. At the end of the twentieth century, it was decided to liquidate the military units and the garrison in Gdansk Wrzeszcz and the sale of the land. Thus, the objects hosting once the imperial family, princes, dignitaries and important persons of the twentieth century Europe passed into the history of the military and the City of Gdansk.
The new owner of the land in 2005 became the Hossa Investment Group SA, which recognizing the historical and traditional importance of the acquired area has prepared the concept of land for a new multi-functional district under the name of GARNIZON.
In creating this courageous urban vision, thanks to which the previously unavailable areas turn into a modern district, is evidently seen a desire to preserve the characteristic, referring to the former purpose, specific features and items that give the GARNIZON project a unique atmosphere of continuity of tradition and modernity.

This name for the Empty Quarter was entirely accurate. I have never experienced such quiet and stillness - so complete that it was almost a tangible thing wrapped around you. For hours I lay on the sand at the edge of camp, the constellations and Milky Way moving across the moonless sky, and not a sound was heard.
Pretty Good Things: Thesis Edition! is one big, tangible amalgamation of the artist, designer and entrepreneur sides of Mary Pattavina.
Mary’s thesis project is essentially an exploration of escapism and fantasy as well as product development and brand diversification using the mediums of illustration, hats and e-commerce. Eight sculptural hats and 8 watercolor illustrations depict the odyssey of a female character through a natural world. The sculptural hats are textile concoctions engineered using traditional and unconventional methods of millinery constructed over the last four months.
Using the inspiration from the sculptural hats and illustrations Mary also designed a limited edition collection for Pretty Good Things (her e-business). These derivative hats and digital prints of the watercolor illustrations are available to purchase online at www.PrettyGoodThings.com.

It is said that Yonggungsa at the north-east foot of Mr. Baekun in Yeongjong Island was built by Wonhyo (a famous monk) in the 10th year of King Munmu's reign (670) in Silla dynasty. When Heungseon Daewongun (King Go-jong's father in the Joseon dynasty) rebuilt it in the year of King Cheol-jong's reign (1854), the present name, Yonggungsa, was given. Buildings such as Gwaneumjeon, Yonghwanggak, Chilseonggak, Yosachae and 11 metres high, Mireukbul (statue of Maitreya) were set up recently."

To achieve tangible results at local level with regard to all four pillars of the Roma inclusion strategy (education, health care, job creation and housing), a complex, integrated approach is needed. This includes the involvement of the target group in the development process. Previously, the practice in this area had been to stop at the level of intermediation, often on the basis of extremely prejudiced hypotheses that it is impossible to empower or enable vulnerable groups to become active participants in development activities targeting them.

THE HISTORY OF PENA ADOBE
Lagoon Valley was settled by two friends, from New Mexico, along with their families. The only tangible reminder of their efforts is the adobe built by Juan Felipe Pena. The two Juans,
Juan Manuel Vaca and Juan Felipe Pena gathered their families and struck out for California in 1841. They left New Mexico, seeking the land of milk and honey. Juan Felipe brought his wife, Isabella Gonsalves and their six children. Juan Manuel had lost his wife in 1839.
The widower was accompanied by their eight children. The intrepid families followed the Old Spanish Trail that terminated at Pueblo de Los Angeles. Their arrival coincided with the visit to the area by Mariano Vallejo. Admiring of Pena’s and Vaca’s pluck, Vallejo told them of the fertile Lagoon Valley. He convinced them to trek a little further, where he would agree to grant them a vast amount of land if they fulfilled his requirement to build homes, plant trees and pasture livestock.
When the two Juans had satisfied Vallejo’s requirements, they were granted ten square leagues of the Rancho de Los Putos. Ten square leagues amounted to 44,384 acres. This huge territory encompassed all of Lagoon Valley and stretched into what is now, Yolo County. During the 1840s, both families engaged in cattle ranching. Hides and tallow were the principal source of trade and income. It has been speculated that they hauled the hides and tallow by ox-cart to landings along the sloughs of Suisun Bay. The families also engaged the few remaining Native Americans to serve as ranch hands, cowboys and servants. The Vaca’s and Pena’s cultivated orchards and gardens near their homes.
Those were tumultuous times in California history. In just five short years, after their arrival, the Bear Flag revolt occurred, in which Vallejo, his brother and their families were taken to Sutter’s Fort from Sonoma, as captives care of General Charles Fremont and Kit Carson. Many of the “Bear Flaggers” objected to the treatment by Fremont of the captives and made sure that the Vallejo families were accorded some protection on their way to John Sutter’s fort. One of the stops along the way was at Pena’s adobe, where they were treated with respect, “quantities of food and liquid refreshment.”
In 1847, Americans Albert Lyon, John Patton Sr. and Jr., along with J.P.Willis and Clay Long arrived in the Vaca Valley. In April 1849, Vaca agreed to sell a half league of land between Alamo and Ulatis creeks for eight thousand dollars to Albert Lyon and the Pattons. On August 21, 1850, Vaca deeded nine square miles to another new arrival, William McDaniel for three thousand dollars to establish the town of Vacaville.
The Vaca adobe “melted” away in the elements long ago. Pena and his family are believed to have hauled, by oxen or mule teams, from Napa, the redwood that was hand hewn for the joists that support the thatched roof and make up the
window and door lintels. The two feet thick adobe blocks were formed on site from our “famous” local clay soil, straw and water. Sometime around the 1880s, the adobe was modernized and enlarged by encasing the entire building in wood sheathing and frame extension.
The restored home and grounds are now a county park located just off of I-80 west of Vacaville, California.
musicBottles is an interactive installation for visitors to interact with soundwaves encapsulated in bottles. The installation consists of a set of bottle that encapsulate sounds from Boston, Cambridge and the MIT neighborhood. When a visitor opens a bottle, sounds in the bottle evaporate into the atmosphere, giving visitors a glimpse into Bostonian culture through escaping sounds emanating from the glass vessels.

In this image, Duncan Rawlinson brilliantly blurs the lines between photography and modern AI-powered image generation tools to produce a visually captivating portrayal of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Rawlinson starts with his signature photographic method, leveraging his prowess in capturing the nuances of his subjects. His choice of the Phase One XF IQ4 150MP Camera ensures an unmatched level of detail, a testament to his commitment to quality.
From this photographic foundation, Rawlinson skillfully transitions to the digital art realm. The AI's "head" and its complex neural network are not captured through the lens, but through the precise and calculated application of AI image generation tools. These tools allow him to visualize an abstract concept like a neural network, converting it into tangible lines and nodes, interweaving through the AI's head.
The creation process is thus a symbiotic dance between high-resolution photography and AI-driven digital art. Rawlinson marries the tactile realism of photography with the boundless possibilities of AI-powered graphic design. The result is a unique hybrid image, demonstrating how AI can be used as an artistic tool to bring abstract concepts to life.
By creating the image in his signature style, Rawlinson adds a layer of artistic interpretation to the AI's representation. He invites the viewer to appreciate not only the AI's intricate complexity but also the novel way in which traditional photography can be elevated by modern AI tools. This image stands as a testament to the intersection of art, technology, and human creativity.
This composite image was created with a Nikon D3100 DSLR raw capture of myself and a 3D model of archetypal New Zealand shed architecture created with Sketchup Make. The model was uploaded and hosted on Sketchfab.com (skfb.ly/OzTW) where post rendering lighting effects were applied. The model itself can be experienced immersively with a Google Cardboard Virtual Reality viewer and a suitable smart phone, such as my Samsung Galaxy S4, on the Sketchfab web site. Both the architectural image and my portrait were post processed and composited with Adobe Photoshop CS6.
My objective with this image was to communicate the immersive experience of being inside virtual space and to demonstrate that as a designer I am an explorer of virtual space. Placing myself in the space makes it more real, juxtaposing the tangible with the virtual.
The 3D model came about as part of my day job as a Business Development Manager. I wanted to help my clients visualise my product: Tandus Centiva, a Tarkett company, modular carpet tiles (Strata: professionals.tarkett.cn/content/Strata06210 ) beyond just samples. Creating an immersive experience where the shed architecture's virtual space acts as a frame or context to understand the product visually in situ.

My discovery of late has been myself, and having to cope with a lot of challenges and changes going on in my life. Photography has helped a lot with that, and helping gain some context on life, and how it works.
Life's hard, but it's also worth the battles and fights to get what's at the end.
But if you do need something tangible for me to have discovered, then the bluetooth headset I'm wearing is a pretty nifty new discovery too.
