a Green hydro mechanical driven watch

I want to have it, defenitely!! This is not a concept, but a real advertisement for a real hydro mechanical driven watch, made by HYT and to be shown at the Baselworld 2012. The watch is driven by the green liquid in it and the hydro power pump inside that transforms the movements of the watch owner’s body makes and makes the green liquid pointing the time. The green liquid is also used by CSI for detecting blood stains. They applied for 7 patents on this watch.
Only one disadvantage might be the price: ¢ 45.000.

Vivant dans une station de métro

Ever lived in a (Paris) metro station? Ever considered it? Some people did and went living in it. Metro station Auber in Paris contains a 54 square meters household. You can even win a ticket for a party at the table of the friends living there.

Unfortunately it is a marketing trice from a well-known department store.

Ever wondered what happens in your study room when you go to bed? I have.

From the book!

A manual as thick as a book - but differently, the product is already in it.
That it can be done differently is proven by Vitamins Design. If you look at it, you think, well, why is this not always the form of presentation. This book contains general and practical knowledge. And that this is practicable is a fact.

Deutsche Bank pulls the strings

It seems as if you are looking at a 3D animation, but it is not. A real system with the logo of Deutsche Bank is divided into 48 triangles, each triangle with three tiny thin wires hanging.
The installation gives a very smooth 3D effect. Incredibly done, let alone the devising process.

(S)lightly adrift

Studio Drift has something with light, you can not deny that. At the request of Philosophy of Design (Moscow), Studio Drift designed and made ‘FlyLight’​​. It consists of 200 glass tubes and responds to human movement around the installation. The name comes from the plant and is based on the phenomenon: flocks of birds. See and understand why I would love this fantastic spectacle of light on my 4 meters high ceiling.

IBM’s near future – Building a Smarter Planet

IBM was once the largest computer manufacturer in the world. But they foresaw  a different future than manufacturing computers, namely that of information technology. IBM collects data, a lot of data, lots of data. And with these data and their own research (on 5 areas, namely energy, security, mind reading, mobile, analyzing) they predict trends (future) for these five innovations to make our world a smarter (smarter planet). After  Watson, Bioinformatica, Kinetische energie, Biometrische beveiliging and Smarter Cities now a Smarter Planet.
This movie excites you about the surreal near future (within 5 years) in which all these aforementioned things fit together and make our world better than we do it the current way, it’s treated with care. And when IBM says …..

Elastic Christmas tree

“London is the place to be! And that certainly applies when it comes to Christmas.

5km of elastics, 4 meters high, 1500 pieces of elastics, Victoria & Albert Museum, geometry and many hours of handwork.

Everything required for this almost perfect gothic Christmas tree.

VW: projection mapping (3d projection v2.0)

‘Projection Mapping’ is the logical sequel to 3D projection. ’Projection Mapping’ is actually a 3D projection “but with the whole architectural environment is involved.
This type of projection makes this even more realistic and more beautiful than 3D projection. Volkswagen has made ​​use of this projection technique for the 10th anniversary of the Autostadt Wolfsburg. Autostadt is a 25 acre park containing many pavilions about cars and car technology. Each brand of the Volkswagen Group has its own pavilion.

Seth Godin says: dare to fail!

A man who needs no introduction is Seth Godin. Dare to fail, dare to think differently, do not dare to follow, especially dare to think differently, to attack and make and break your system.

Mirror mirror on the wall

The NYTimes is currently developing an ’intelligent’ mirror in which all kinds of biometric data can be displayed as well as news, weather or data transfer to the phone via RFID. Still likely to experience yourself just a little bit different than usual. A mirror development where  multiple companies  are involved are nicely experimenting.

3.2 million dots

Miguel Endara is a talented guy. Especially when it comes to the drawings he makes with fineliner dots. They look almost like a photo. The photo of his father has 3.2 million dots.
Check out his website. His talent goes beyond nature drawing. Interaction and web design are again slightly different than average.

The streets looked different

The creator of this site took its own boring current streetscape and made the street more colorful. Common but with a different look.
Unfortunately no further information about the maker to find.

Nick Georgiou recycled

The in 1980, Tucson (Arizona), born artist living and creating new art with dead words and a medium that gave his life to the digital evolution.
A very inventive way to breathe life back into one, so it seems, deceased medium.
