“Me? I’m just confident. It’s my skills that are arrogant.” This the making of, of one of the 5 key visuals developed by HORT for the Nike Refresh programm.

Sorry, the next one is in German. A rough translation would be “I can’t be amazed anymore”. You actually need to know that “Ich komm in das Staunen gar nicht mehr rein” is a variation of a German saying: “Ich komme aus dem Staunen gar nicht mehr raus”. Thanks to comments of Silvia and Mario, I can give you a better translation for Bronco’s piece: “I can’t get into the amazement anymore” (Silvia) or “I can’t even start to be amazed” (Mario). The translation of the orginal saying would be “I can’t stop to be amazed” (Mario).
Of course it’s a pity when you have to explain a joke, sorry for that.

This first video shows you his test setup with several, different electroactive polymers. He used an arduino board to control the several experiments. You should really watch it, I guess you don’t see electroactive polymers on a daily basis. By the way the video is very well edited.

When we think of a house, we mostly think of its facade first. But in the end we live on the inside and our neighbors can enjoy the facade. Maybe that’s why Go Kuwata doesn’t show us the exterior of the L-house, it’s just not that important for the residents.

The Dutch conceptual artist Jan Dibbets made these works for his exhibition at the Zadkine museum in Paris in 2004. He was inspired by the building itself and made these collages.
