Erased Classic is a collection of carpets by Jan Kath. They are based on classic patterns from Italian wall coverings and Indian saris. The carpets are produced by weavers at manufacturing sites in Kathmandu. But their final look is caused by acid, which makes the patterns fade and disappear. The customer cannot only define the color, materials, size, knot density, and design, but also the degree of erosion.

“Scan Processor Studies” is the result of a collaboration between Woody Vasulka & Brian O’Reilly. They made the footage for this film with a Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970′s and manipulated it some more afterwards. It’s actually quite hard to describe it, but it’s full with beautiful shapes and patterns.

The quotes on these billboards are from the emails Tim Rehm and Tim Sürken wrote to and received from clients during their freelance work at HORT. They then made these billboards for an exhibition called “hier und anderswo” at the MARTa Herford museum last summer.




The Japanese retail brand MUJI and LEGO teamed up to develop a set of 4 different boxes. Inside those boxes you’ll find the classic LEGO bricks but also a few sheets of paper. No big deal. But when you also have the right punch hole tool, you can combine both to create something new. I really like this concept. You can order a set here (when you speak sone Japanese).
