A carpet made of watches by Heidi Voet 用電子錶鋪成的地毯

Image
3,000 ~ 4,000 digital watches assembled and form a large carpet by  Heidi Voet . This idea is similar to  Temporary Contemporary Carpets . But one thing is definitely different: Those watches will beep simultaneously every hour! 還記得上次提到的荷蘭三人團隊 Temporary Contemporary Carpets 嗎? 來自比利時的 Heidi Voet 有異曲同工之妙! 他將上千支電子錶組合成大型地毯, 顏色的配置有如織紋變化. 特別惱人的是, 每幾分鐘三四千支的手錶集體逼逼叫! 提到這個, 不得不說前陣子每次去逛新莊IKEA, 下最後一層手扶梯的時候, 有個台階總會放些衣架/廚房用具/袋子等一籃籃的小物, 我最喜歡靠近一籃裝滿定時器的架子旁, 把一個個定時器轉啊轉, 等之後有人下手扶梯就會被突然響起且此起彼落的鈴聲嚇到... 惱人指數100%!!! 過沒多久, 發現IKEA再也不敢放定時器在那區塊了!(哈) _

A Short History of the GIF 動圖小故事

Image
Watch those cute vivid colours! Absolutely love this little anime! Maybe because one of my childhood memories of Pingu. Btw, who can't love looping? 這種黏土的定格動畫總特別有親切感, 或許世小時候的企鵝家族作祟吧. _

Yaël Naïm - Toxic

Image
Yaël Naïm  2007 single - Toxic. 雖然調性大相逕庭, 前奏卻讓我嗅到一點Rökkurró的味道. Yaël Naïm 07年這曲翻唱出和小甜甜完全不同的感覺. 鳩裡嗨! _

"Car Poolers" by Alejandro Cartagena 共乘貨車後車斗

Image
Photos took in Mexico by  Alejandro Cartagena . The word "Pooler" kinda like "sharer" or "partaker." 在台灣也挺常見的景象, 小貨車後車斗載著不少人和雜物就上公路了, 這危險行為可是違法的...為著生活, 情非得已. 小時候我和表妹們也坐過舅舅的貨車, 當然, 心情完全不同. 來自 Alejandro Cartagena 在墨西哥的攝影. _

“Tokyo Compression” by Michael Wolf 日本地鐵族

Image
If you take MRT in rush hours a lots, you'll definitely know how crowded it is in each carriage.  Michael Wolf  caught those moments in Japan. 記得四五年前還不是道地"捷運族"時, 上了淡水線車廂沒位子也沒把手抓, 當下慌慌張張拚了命找那裏還有空的鐵桿可靠, 車開了, 平衡感不佳的我只能不斷呈現搖搖欲墜的狀態, 卻眼看著人們各個抱著胸直挺挺(穩穩)站著, 覺得莫名其妙... 等我當了"捷運族"後覺得這(捷運上)一切都是與我如浮雲阿! 擠得上車就對了, 其他沒甚麼好怕的! 話說回來, 早已聽聞我們(台北)擠捷運的程度比之於日本人簡直是小巫見大巫! 讓德國攝影師 Michael Wolf 用相片來說. _

"LA GRANDE ÉPICERIE DE PARIS(The Winter Color)" by French photographer  Florent Tanet . Playfully rearrange fruit and veg, looks fun.   法國 Florent Tanet 的攝影作品, 讓水果重組.連結的感覺很有意思. via: moco loco _

The Light Bulb Conspiracy: Planned Obsolescence 揭開計畫性淘舊的秘密

Image
Ever wonder why newer products don't seem to last very long...? Why were older products so durable and long lasting compared to the junk we're sold these days? Are you tired of things falling apart and breaking down on you? Would you like to know why this is happening? Have a look at this documentary. (via:  Underground Documentaries ) 相信很多人都知道所謂的"計畫性淘汰". 這支挪威紀錄片以清楚,有系統的述說, 從美國消防局一支用了百年的燈泡開始講起, 讓我們了解現今消費性社會中, Planned Obsolescence這不可告人的秘密! _

Pin and Thread Illustrations by Debbie Smyth 用針線作畫

Image
Those works made by artist  Debbie Smyth , UK. Get closer! it's not a project drawing, Debbie combined lots pins and threads together so well! Looks like illustration or embroidery... Preciously, it's an art installation. 猛然一看 Debbie Smyth 的作品, 還以為又是哪個建築工程的素描圖, 其實不然! Debbie利用針和線在牆上製作許多大型裝置作品, 屬性介於插畫和刺繡, 繪畫和織品藝術, 平面和立體3D... via: Colossal _
