Zik Parrot by Starck

in

Famous for humanized and simplified ideas Philip Starck came up with the next one juxtaposed from digital culture and music behavior. Zik Parrot is a new handset with touch control - easy? Swipe down the touch pane on the headset and low the volume, swipe forward to skip to the next song. "It pauses the song if you take it off and instantly picks back up when you put it on, has 3 microphones and a bone conduction sensor for your calls and active noise cancelation, and even has an app to control it all. 4 years of work has gone into these.." adds Notcot editor. Recently shown up on CES Exhibition Zik Parrot gained good comments from visitors and plus for Philip's studio karma from us.

Historical photography, recoloured by Sweden-based artist Sanna Dullaway with Photoshop. She owns a small studio that helps to restore memories in colours, so this series can work as her advertising but still awesome and on my opinion Adobe must get in contact with her for some collaborations.

Street Art by Pavel 183 (R.I.P. boy)

in , , , , ,

Russian based street art master Pavel 183 brakes the myths of graffiti vandalism by revealing outdoors installations and modifications of post-urban suburbs of our capital. His works a full of social less politic sense and can be valued as an equal act of contemporary art and most of times his stuff is cooler then we see in modern museums around the world.

Into the Abyss by Simon Harsent

in , ,

Underwater photography by NY based Simon Harsent. Series "Into the Abyss" inspired by the poem of David Harsent

into the abyss

A little deeper and she’ll lose the light. At first the surface is just touchable - shadows that might be clouds or birds in flight… She sets her face to the skim

to get the last of the world she came from, some slight sense of voices fading as she slips from almost-day to almost-night, grey-green shading

first to blue, then more than blue, then to a blue never seen by anyone but her, and that slow drift into darkness set to sever all that she owned or wanted, all she had ever been.
