Share//Trash Can Monday, December 21st, 2009

How long do you think it will take someone to rig this trash can up to a twitter account?

Share//Trash Can is a smart step-on trash can which includes a LED – live counter that counts the amount of steps that are stepped on the foot pedal.

The step-to-open lid keeps your garbage out of sight while providing hands-free dispensing.

Share your trash!

Studio Karl Otto Monday, December 21st, 2009

Karl-Otto.biz launched recently bringing the artist’s (Karl Otto’s) original designs, illustrations and other work online- This includes original type and vector graphics available for licensing/purchase. The hand drawn organic typefaces seem to be breathing living things when layered on clean white space (the e-gallery utilizes white space as well which is always refreshing). Check out the whole collection here.

The collection is formed as a social instrument, working with all aspects of graphic design and should be approached as a raw material that is acted upon or used as a building material to construct a variety of visual expressions.

Media artist, Alexander Gelman, in collaboration with traditional Japanese artisans has designed an series of master chess sets made of lacquer, silver plating and gold leaf. The $55,000 sets took up to 10 months to produce by hand, using century old techniques. The set debuted in Tokyo and is currently in New York and will travel to Europe in early 2010.

In 2001 The Museum of Modern Art listed Alexander Gelman as one of the “world’s most famous modern and contemporary artists in all media.”

Bug Dome Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Bug%20Dome WEAK%21 0171 Marco%20Casagrande Bug Dome

This amazing structure presents architectural contrast at its strongest and reinforces the age old idea that in design, concept is truely king. Built by Hsieh Ying-chun (謝英俊),
Marco Casagrande (馬可·卡薩格蘭), and Roan Ching-yueh (阮慶岳) in Shenzhen, China, Bug Dome is best explained here:

The building is realized on a wasteland of a ruined building site in-between the Shenzhen City Hall and an illegal workers camp. The design is inspired by insects. The bamboo construction methods are based on local knowledge from rural Guanxi brought into the city by the migrating construction workers.

Bug%20Dome WEAK%21 0085 Marco%20Casagrande Bug Dome

This was constructed for the Shenzen-Hong Kong Biennial and after it is over the Bug Dome will act as an un-official social club for illegal workers from the Chinese countryside.

Thanks to Marco of Casagrande Laboratory for the heads up.

Check out the Bug Dome blog for more photos and detail on process.
