Guys from Artefact (those with innovative WVIL camera concept ) came up with a new concept of printer where they rethink the whole process of printing. A concept to bring the printer to the 21st century, by stripping it down of its cumbersomeness.

MÖBIUS - Federation Square A collaborative stop motion sculpture

Twenty-one large triangles animated by Melbourne, throughout Federation Square. MÖBIUS is a sculpture that can be configured into many cyclical patterns and behave as though it is eating itself, whilst sinking into the ground. The result is an optical illusion and a time-lapse of people interacting with the sculpture and moving through Melbourne's landmark location throughout the day.

Ora Ito's concept for Wallpaper and Reebok

Ora Ito's concept for Wallpaper and Reebok with LG HI-MACS®

http://www.ora-ito.com/news/ora-itos-concept-for-wallpaper-and-reebok-with-lg-hi-macs

Never mind the upper of Reebok’s RealFlex shoe for Ora-ïto, the interest lies all in the sole. The sole is the most beautiful part of a trainer, says Ora-ïto. It’s there that the sense of movement and the graphic power is found. It’s like a landscape. It is exactly that idea that Ora-ïto has realised in the form of a pop art-inspired bas-relief work, a sculpture painting that echoes the 76 independent sensors on the sole of the RealFlex in mid-twist and undulation. The piece, which is produced by Candido Hermida, is made of Hi-Macs®, a cuttable, thermo-formable, stone-like bauxite/acrylic mix, chosen for its ability to offer one unbroken, seamless sheet for the 3m-wide work, and with the strength to take the considerable weight. My style of dress is more classic now but I still have my trainer collection and I’d love to do the sole of all the iconic sneaker soles this way,’ says Ora-ïto.

Nokia N9: Hot or not?

Nokia is trying to catch the wind of changes and after their decision to fire 7000 employees by 2013 (mostly all Symbian OS teams) they suddenly jumped over the bar and hanging on it with the help of the teeth. I really hope their newborn Nokia N9 will be a base to something new and fresh! Just take a look at the photos made by Laura Jul and read more details under the cut.

nokia-n9

The new smartphone is called Nokia N9 – and with N9 everything is just a swipe away. So they say on their website. And so it is!

• The operating system is MeeGo – which is created by Nokia and Intel
• It’s the very first smartphone without any buttons on the front
• It’s a simple design – in either black, pink or turquoise
• There’s no air between the vivid 3.9” AMOLED display and glass
• You can shoot HD video with the 8 MP camera with wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash
• You buy more apps from Ovi Store
• And blah blah blah… you can check out more here
