The Vienna-based design studio Vandasye designed this Solar-powered Clock. I don’t only like the aesthetics but also how they show the context of their design projects in their portfolio.

Empty Words is an installation by Jürg Lehni and Alex Rich. A plotter punches characters into paper, mechanically visualizing the artists’ favorite song titles. The sheets are installed as a narrative panorama on the gallery walls. Visitors are invited to produce their own artworks and to find the balance between auto-manifestation and technological constraint.
You can go and see it at the Swiss Institute Contemporary Art in New York till October 31st.

Digital Blackbook is the second version of Evan Roth his Graffiti Analysis project. It’s a tool that can capture graffiti tags, or actually any drawing, and visualise them afterwards in a very nice way.

“Shooting into the Corner” is an installation by Anish Kapoor. The cannon shoots 11 kilogram heavy wax balls into the corner of the next room. You can go and see it at the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London till December 11th. I guess they still have a few rounds.

This video explains it even a little more:

“Your Mercury Ocean” is the name of this skateboard designed by Olafur Eliasson. It another great collaboration between Mekanism and an artist or designer. Olafur is the first one who asked Mekanism to produce a 13-ply deck instead of a standard 7-ply. This extra thickness gave him the possibility to mill a 3d pattern on it. Afterward, the deck received a mirror coating.
I want this one, I need this one, it would fit perfect next too my John Maeda one.
