After washing your hands with the soap ring, the ring disappears becoming a scent.
The jewellery leaves a fragrance silmilar to a drop of perfume. It is a sensory experience becoming an unconscious ornament and can serve the purpose of self-expression and affect people’s reactions.

Edward Tufte, a specialist in the field of analytical design, did a review of the iPhones interface. The elimination of screen-hogging computer administrative debris and the high resolution of screen are the main winners in the design of the iPhone. Of course he has some critique ,which I don’t really share, he doesn’t think that the stockmarket and weather widgets are well designed. I guess that his alternative designs won’t meet Steve Jobs design standards. Watch the video for yourself here.

Troika, known for their SMS Guerrilla Projector, was commissioned by Artwise Curators to create a signature piece at the entrance of the new British Airways luxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5. The result: ‘Cloud’, a five meter long digital sculpture whose surface is covered with 4638 flip-dots that can be individually addressed by a computer to animate the entire skin of the sculpture. The best part is of course the development pictures and 2 videos of the cloud in action.
