Jeff Mills & Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra – The Bells

For the purists, here is the original. And here is the translation for Feierabend.

Suspensions Plissées is a lamp collection by Inga Sempe for Cappellini. It’s a metalized double sided fabric on a metallic wire structure, it reminds me of those ugly, green plastic cachepot thingies. I also really like her Lampe Plate.

Yeah, I had to read that twice … That little island is a vulcano point in Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on Luzon (the Philippines). Here you can see it on Google Maps. You can find more facts about islands and lakes here.

“The Return of Black!” is the latest article at PingMag. It’s a nice contrast to the current summer season with all its light colors. Some of the products that are featured, are quite strange like black toothpaste or black toilet paper for example. Most links in the article will take you to Japanese websites. I really like to surf those kind of sites because mostly you have no clue where a link will take you. Like the website for this Japanese airline Starflyer, it took me around 20 clicks before I found some big images like these wallpapers. Fortunately your web browsers status bar can help you out. Web browsers don’t understand Japanese characters in an URL, so most websites use English links which you can ‘preview’ in your status bar. Japanese flash websites on the other hand, are always a real safari.

1000 A-1 posters, printed front and back on poster paper, specially made for ‘fly-postering’ with white on one side and blue on the back, so as not to let the poster on which it has been glued bleed through. We printed text in super high gloss black U.V. ink on the blue side and super matt black on the white, smooth side.
The posters were put up all over the city, and attracted a considerable amount of attention; we even got in the newspaper!

Nice! A project by Ian Brown and Selina Bütler.

This is a very cool toothbrush! It creates a water fountain so you can rinse without a cup or anything else! Brush & Rinse by Scott Amron. The price for this prototype is a little high … $1.750.

Here is an example of minimal animation in a music video. It’s an unofficial (?) video for Dj Funks remix of ‘Let there be light’ by Justice. Justice, by the way, is way over hyped. There’s also an other video on YouTube of the release party of this track, where you can see Dj Funk in full action.

By the way, the video and lyrics are sexist, so don’t press play if you think you could be offended.

Information Architects Japan released Version 2.0 of their Web Trend Map. They did an amazing job, there is so much info in that map! Go and get one yourself here!
