Trafik are a French design firm who have some great looking visual / interactive interiors in their portfolio. I was wondering who I was reminded of when visiting the site when I realised it does look very similar to UK based United Visual Artists. Anyway, regardless of that I suggest checking them out for some interesting ways of combining design and technology with interior spaces.
Eco Art Tech works with digital, networked, and sustainable technologies and contemporary environments to create art about the environmentality of modern life. There are some great visualisations showing the collision between natural and digital elements.
Meso digital design agency are on a whole other level. Their digital interiors are both amazing and awe inspiring. Shown above is an image from Cyberhelvetia where a digital swimming pool was installed to simulate bathing. You really have to see it to understand, but the results are mind blowing.
The Light Bulb Candle from Spoon Sisters is a clever idea. It reminds me of the Big Dipper by Sarah Van Gameren.
Man this site takes me back! Days spent cruising along the beach front on an old Powell-Peralta and chilling with good buddies. Retroskatestickers.com has an amazing gallery of vintage skate stickers, which is a great reference and super nostalgic for all the old school skaters out there.
These typographical rugs from John Pour Home are a nifty idea for the typophiles out there.
“Newwork Magazine is a large-format newspaper publication for readers who appreciate the value of new ideas. Designed and published biannually by studio NEWWORK, issue no.1 shows a selection of contributors solely from New York.”
There’s some wonderful typography and editorial design going on in Newwork. Unfortunately it’s only available in the States at the moment although I’d love to see a European version of it.
Information Taking Shape has some great visualisations of common data by Christina Van Vleck. The newspaper cover stories (pictured above) are great.
Ryan McGinley’s photography possesses an ethereal innocence that is so rarely seen or captured today. His series ‘I know where the Summer goes’ depicts carefree youth beautifully. Some of the content may not be suitable for work (NSFW).
The other day I was dismayed to find that one of my favourite websites, Hypediss was no longer around. Fortunately, it has evolved into something that has the potential to be much greater.
Unlike is a cultural guide to Berlin and hopefully in the future other major cities around the world. It features a local knowledge to the coolest places in Berlin, information which is invaluable to the cultural traveller and which can’t be found in regular guides.
