The Art-Eggcident

Several huge poached eggs made their apparition in the central square of Leeuwarden, in the Netherlands. The author is artist Henk Hofstra who is not at his first try to make his artwork very visible. His other project involved painting 1000 meters of road with blue paint. Hofstra was hoping his Blue Road would eventually show on Google Earth.

Designing movement

Artist and designer Ben Hopson realized that designers tend to be exclusively interested in form when they create a new product and that innovations in the way products move (for example, the opening of a case) are sadly not their priorities. Aesthetic principles seem to apply only to static objects and kinetics are always left in engineers' hands.

Hopson believes that a more beautiful or surprising movement can add value to new products and improve functions of existing objects.

So he started to explore and experiment on the aesthetics of movement using playing cards and foam models. See his recordings here and read his conclusions.

The end of advertising

Ar putea fi foarte aproape: forte reactionare lupta impotriva publicitatii folosind mesaje subversive de tipul celor de mai jos.

Ne asteptam la o proliferare a acestor acte de vandalism in urmatoarele luni, atunci cand fiecare cetatean va poseda acest kit de stickere gratuite:
