today and tomorrow

made with QuadCamera

Regeneration. I need it. The next 2 weeks are going to be quiet around here. For the first time in almost 4 years I’ll try to have a longer break from today and tomorrow, I’ll try to regenerate. I’m not really feeling comfortable about it, maybe I’ll back online by Monday …
today and tomorrow will be back in full force on Monday September 7th, mark it in your calendar! In the meantime, have fun with the archive.

See ya,

Pieter

P.S.: Here’s a little hint where I’ll be … you’ll need to understand German though.

And the nice typo on top was made by Darren Booth.

Business by Harm van den Dorpel.

Sony redesigned PS3 and asked Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo to develop the campaign for it. They came up with The Playface: “It’s that face you make when you are playing video games and concentrating so much that you don’t even realize the kind of expressions you are making. And everyone has a different one.” They filmed 50 people in the heat of gaming and I must say that the footage cools very good. Just go to the website!
This might actually sound familiar to you. Robbie Cooper did a similar project a while ago called “Immersion“.

These photos by Chih-Han Hsu, a photographer from Brisbane (Australia), are amazing. Just a few lines of light can be enough.

This Sèvres Vase Clock by Georgios Maridakis actually works with any vase. You can place any you like on the stand and then adjust the hammer. Every hour the hammer will knock on the vase, the sound will depend on the vase of course. The combination of a hammer and porcelain is quite nice.

Tuft vs. Turf (Fire Escape) is a site specific installation made with zip ties by Brian Jobe. There’s a lot more on his website.

Zack Klauck and Emile Molin were asked by Nike to design packaging system that reflects their desire for lightness and sustainability during the Nike exhibition in Beijing last year. They decided to use a mesh wrap of recycled cardboard to make a packaging for a shirt and windbreaker together and one for a pair of shoes. I really like how they look and the fact that they wrote the sizes by hand. But I don’t really get why you would need a packaging for a shirt and windbreaker, except if there’re really limited gifts.
