Crystallization is the title of Iris van Herpen her Spring Summer 2011 collection. One of the pieces was a collaboration with the architect Daniel Widrig. This is not the first piece of clothing made with a rapid prototyping technique, but maybe one with the most complex shape. It was printed in 3D by .MGX.

8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5. Euh what? A few years ago, video cards could only render 256 colors at a time. So it was very hard to do nice animations. That’s why they invented color cycling. Certain pixel areas cylce through a palette of colors to suggest animation. A very simple idea with a really nice aesthetical outcome.
Joseph Huckaby adapted this principle to HTML5 (forget about Internet Explorer) and brought some artwork by Mark Ferrari to life. Check out these examples. And if you’re up for it, here‘s some more information.

I’ve had a little too much lately. Too much of everything. I’m not sure if that’s even possible in my case.
But does anyone know the source of this photo?
Thank you haleyXvader for letting me know that this photo was made by Nick White.

Today I finally went to see Olafur Eliasson his exhibtion called “Innen Stadt Aussen“. I loved it. There were only 19 pieces in the show but it’s totally worth it. One of them was “Round Rainbow” – all the way.
You can still go and see it till August 9th at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.
So it’s been 24 hours since today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday SPEED SHOW: animated GIFs.
It’s time to thank the 18 animated GIF artists! But of course also everyone who showed up at the event. I hope you all liked it.
I guess some of you would have been there if they were in Berlin last night. Your support is very much appreciated!
There wouldn’t have been a SPEED SHOW if F.A.T. Lab and Aram Bartholl didn’t came up with this format.
A big thank you to everyone!

they are building a empty city for nobody!
hamburg is one of those cities which right now gets massively gentrificated. in the last 10-20 years they’ve built so much big, ugly, empty useless office spaces. and apparently nobody really needs those offices since more than a million square meters are unoccupied.
the sad thing about this is that the law here doesn’t allow you to live in an office building. so the living space is getting rare and extremely expensive. i am looking since 3-4 years for a nice flat for
my girlfriend and me. no chances to get something payable.
i planned to do this series some time ago but never did it. when pieter asked me to participate at the 5 years birthday of today and tomorrow, it was a perfect motivation to get on my bike and start shooting. all shots were in a circle of 4 km around the place i live in, the harbour.

Dearest Today and Tomorrow,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! From one 5 year old to another! Thank you for 5 years of endless inspiration and daily fascination ~ you’ve certainly been one of my favorites to read! And thank you, to Mercedes, for bringing us together in person this year finally! So given that both of us cover so much randomness and art daily ~ my friend Leo Corrales and i decided to let your site inspire us and see what grew from that ~ so here’s our little birthday card to you! 5 is a huge milestone, and we’re so honored you invited us to guest post this little note!
I can’t wait to see what the next 5 years will hold!
So, *cheers* to the future!
Love,
NOTCOT.
p.s.
We’d also like to challenge your readers to share their birthday cards to Today and Tomorrow! I’d love to see what you inspire others to do as well!
