skydive kaleidoscope.

This is like the product of synchronized swimming & a kaleidoscope.

The 'Pearls of Russia', a 88 woman skydiving team

made a new world record with this pattern.

Beating the ex-title holders, the 84 females of Germany.

My fear of heights almost made my heart stop with this video.

Every person that jumped off, so did my heart.

dragon man.

On some hot summer days...

I certainly feel that by breathing alone

I'm accomplishing this...

Short film on the art of fire breathing.

ITS. SO. COOL.

(haha ironic).

concrete graffiti.

Inspired by (obviously) graffiti art and urban culture.

This is the first (ohhhh yeah, there's more to come)

in the series of a new project by

Architect Zvi Belling & other street artists.

Swooshes arrows and drips have been taken in to the brick shell

also to pay ultimate respects to its concepts.

The harsh angles play for the youthfulness and energy
that's bursting out of the hip hop culture.

One thing's for sure....
This ain't something you can hide by painting it over.

cute shots dude. 

messy room.

don't even know why I think this is cute.

Relatable? 

Probably.

end of life care-bot.

I don't quite know how to feel about this...

A padded caressing arm and a mechanical recorded voice

designed to guide and comfort dying patients with scripted message.

I'm pretty sure I'd rather have the people I love around me
rather than a metal arm telling me I'm going to die 

& massage my life away (literally)

But I guess the whole idea is that this robot is able to reenact human social behaviors...

Still, the whole notion is a little too cold and morbid for my liking...

...Thoughts?

don't let me see these at night.

You know those moments at night 

when you swear you just saw something float by 

outside your room in the dark light-less hallway?

YA.

I wouldn't wanna see these.

The aim is to get he audience provoked and
forcing them to interact with their environment and the piece itself.

The project 'Glazed Paradise'  was Mark Jenkin's indoor works

involving life-like figures placed throughout the gallery space

meant to freak the crap out encourage reactions.



By using public spaces to find his audience,
he forces people to interact with the environment.
His art is "as much a social experiment as it is an art project"

In my opinion, this is a pretty cute pun urbanites to really
judge the authenticity of their surroundings.

Microsoft Surface, the iPad x MacBook Air lovechild

Yup. 

It must be the inner Apple fanatic in me that's stopping me from

appreciating this Microsoft tablet-esque product.

Windows 8 Powered "iPad" , the 
Microsoft Surface
-10.6" screen (1366 x 768 resolution)
-Magnetic cover attachment with keyboard & trackpad 
-Full sized USB 3.0
-Display Port 
-Micro SD slot

Soooooooooooo, they basically just made a glorified tablet cover.
The potential one up on this thing.

Regardless, to me this still just looks like a
iPad + MacBook Air love child. 

Keep you posted if my mind changes.

hold that liquid.

I have an uncanny obsession with cups & tea.

Sure, I only use a max of 4 in my massive collection

but I know I'm going to be one of those people with
no proper/complete tableware set at home
since the odds and ends to acquire are just too many.

The new uprise of tea fanatics gets me excited also.

The uproar of people that love this dried leaf goodness
means that more quirky tea related products are gunna hit the market
(SCORE!)

This little detail would save my life 1000 times over.

This would totally help me avoid the
"let's pour hot water in the cup and
there goes the teabag suicide style into the cup of scalding water"

Then comes the horrifying,
"I want to retrieve the tag before

 it dissolves in my cup,
but the water is melting my skin"

Infusing & steeping. ALL IN ONE!

Tea Stick!

I don't know how much i love the idea of soiling my tea.

Holding onto dear life, a short circuit destiny.

Creativity has a place everywhere. 

This might just be the better way to trick children into
eating their veggies.

Tomato mountains, beet lifting to pepper gliding.

photographic axo plans.

yup fellow RSID-ers.

Mok's cheap/bootleg version of a plan is now a photographic phenomenon.

If only J.Iri saw it the same way when I tried to pull the same stunt for 

replacing the 'plan' of my Jorgensen with a top view render....
