The Story of Stuff

"The Story of Stuff takes you on a provocative
tour of our consumer-driven culture–from
resource extraction to iPod incineration. Watch
this 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside
of production, consumption, and waste. It’ll teach
you something. It’ll make you laugh. And it just may
change the way you look at all your stuff."

This video is interesting. It's a little one-sided and the lady should be a cartoon, but it delivers a
valid message that we should all be taking into consideration.

Klein Bottle

I recently came across this crazy form that boggles the noggle.

" The Klein bottle is a non-orientable surface with no inside and no outside. Two M�bius bands lie on its surface along which one can continuous move from to both sides of the surface. The second M�bius band lies on the farther side, symmetric to the shown band."

PLUS, you can drink booze out of it!

Perpetua Makes You Blush (dott 07)

Ok, this may be a little late (the camp was back in July), but enjoy it hard. This is a Team Wind production! You can find more about the projects here.

There will be a festival in Newcastle, England in October that you should all check out. There will be all kinds of socially relevant projects that have 'designed' solutions, and the camp will have a spot there.

I was part of Team Wind and well be putting "spinning skirts" on turbines. Sexy. Here's a further description.

Perpetua

Wind turbines harness a source of clean, renewable and free energy, addressing growing concern over carbon emissions and energy security. Despite their advantages, residents remain hostile to these elegant and majestic forms emerging over the countryside, with complaints of ruining the view and damaging business from tourism.

Although aesthetically motivated, the Perpetua project goes beyond mere landscaping treatments by using the turbine structures themselves as an integral means of experiencing the environment.

Movement from the turbine blades is transformed into a shifting overhead structure whose size and shape are dependent on wind speed. By directly representing the strength of the wind, the process used to capture energy can be more easily understood.

The installations encourage passers-by to approach the turbines, mediating between the scales of landscape, turbine and human.

At once a tourist attraction and a community resource, Perpetua can be experienced from the distance of a passing car, but also encourages interaction in the landscape as an event or meeting space. From the scale of passer-by to that of the user, the experience is beautiful and memorable.

untill then

I'll have the pictures up soon. Until then, enjoy...

Photoshop painting

I've been thinking about doing a new photoshop painting. This is my initial sketch for it. The dude is going to be a lumberjack and I want it to be about 50" long. Like a widescreen format over the couch painting. I want it to be a lot more detailed...Like little hidden things that you have to look close for. Almost like some of the panaramas by KOZYNDAN.

Alexander Calder watch out

There was a spool of wire on my desk. I was board. The results are a mobile.

Uhhh...you guys are toast...

I know that the bike has already been on, but this thing rides like a brand new bike so...
New deep V rims, flipflop hub, black chain, and Tektro front brake. All that remains is a new crank. I also raced the first leg of the alleycat in Philly this weekend, so I hope y'aller training.
