Pingmag – No More
It’s a sad day when decent design blogs die and Pingmag was one of the best of them. Brilliantly written stories covering the fields of art, design, architecture, fashion and many other categories all with a Japanese twist were what made Pingmag so special. Hopefully the site stays up so you can browse the archives (which I highly suggest doing). Farewell Pingmag.

0100101110101101.org
0100101110101101.org is the home of digital rebels Eva and Franco Mattes. Creating compelling digital and physical art since 1998 these two seek to obtain ‘the largest visibility with minimal effort’. Their projects include internet collages, fake artists and a computer virus to name a few. I really enjoy their shock tactics and also the convergence / blurred reality between online and physical life.
Taiwa-Hensokuki
Taiwa-Hensokuki is an installation by Yuko Mohri, where two IBM notebooks ‘converse’ with each other with speech synthesis and speech recognition software. As they continue in this process the original message becomes transformed and distorted (perhaps in the same way as in a game of Chinese whispers).
