Soft Wood is a series of chairs designed by Veronika Wildgruber that appear at first to be made in fabric with the soft appearance of pillows. But in reality they are sculpted in solid wood. The chairs trick the mind because the surface and texture connotes the opposite of what we think and know about the characteristics of wood.

Last Friday I went to see SPEED SHOW vol.1: TELE-INTERNET, a one night group show curated by Aram Bartholl. He rented all  the computers of an internet-café and showed pop.net.art pieces from 12 artists. An awesome idea!
On of the pieces was “Animated Gif Mashup 2.0” by Evan Roth. It’s an online browser tool where you can create your own animated gif collages and give it even a background sound. You can build your own one here.

This is Evans: Animated Gif Mashup: Dance Sequence #001 (NSFW audio).

Today, rAndom International presents their latest work “Swarm Light” at Design Miami/Art Basel. It’s an experimental light installation with a real‚ collective consciousness that subtly reacts to the viewer’s audible presence. The viewers‘ presence creates a soundscape that directly alters the behaviour of the entire environment surrounding ‘Swarm Light‘. Human presence brings a basic form of artificial intelligence to life.

Jeff Mills latest release, The Occurrence, is pressed on a hybrid CD. One side is just a normal CD, the other is a 5″ vinyl pressing which you can play on a turntable. How cool is that?

At this years DMY Berlin, Daniel Lorch presented his latest project: Split Chair. It’s a combination of traditional tube bending with the newest 3D laser-technology. The result is exactly how I like it: smart and simple.
