“My diploma project is a compact inkjet printer, which is placed on top of a paper pile. When printing, “Stack” slowly moves downwards and swallows the pile until no paper is left. The paper disappears under the printer and exits on top, where it creates a new pile. Thanks to this new way of printing it is possible to remove the paper tray, the bulkiest element in common printers. This concept allows a very light appearance and avoids frequent reloading.” http://www.mugiyamamoto.com/
"With a wildly surreal imagination, artist Rustam QBic from Kazan, Russia creates fish adorned with houses and windows, elephants sprouting giant buildings, and a goose whose feathers are made from a ocean of angry waves. Almost every one of his creations, be it on paper or on a wall is brimming with wonderful ideas and often have to be viewed up close to appreciate their full detail. He most recently completed murals for the LGZ Festival and for Art-Ovrag 2013, and you can see many more paintings, illustrations, and other work over on Facebook." via Colossal
A short film that explores how different people respond to the same piece of music, all captured from the point of view of a vinyl spinning on a record player. The film was created for “Hello, Again,” an initiative by The Lincoln Motor Company that asks filmmakers to reimagine the familiar into something fresh and new.

Maiko Takeda is a student of jewelry design and fashion, a fact that is apparent in these stunning photographs. Takeda’s portraits feature figures adorned or ornamented, creating interesting juxtapositions of light and shadow, geometry, space, and logic. Out of a simple and seemingly ordered concept emerges something intricate, chaotic, and mysterious. Takeda’s work is both elegant and bizarre, a world where beauty is revealed through obfuscation and composition. Takeda is currently pursuing a Masters in Millinery at the Royal College of Art. via
Raise the hand if you like to make strange long-exposure photographs with light sticks or whatever to make so called "Light Graffiti". And with a magic hat in one hand and a rabbit in another we say "Here is an app for this!". Check Glowee project - a creation of Nikita and Maria Shanins
Moscow's Polytechnical Museum recently ran an open competition for the new identity and chosen the progressive work of Anna Kulachek and Irina Ivanova that you can see below. The new identity is going to ease the interaction between exhibitions and visitors by a visual language based on electric's schemes from school's physic studies. The identity got the new level of customizing by taking the generative modular concept that can be applied either on print and digital productions or on navigation scheme inside the building. The project is also unique just because it is not easy to get modern things done for state institutions like this in Russia.
Imagine the 170-years old sofa is balancing on one leg. Creative Applications writes "Created by Jacob Tonski, artist-in-residence at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, ”Balance from Within” is an installation that includes a 170-year-old Victorian sofa which balances precariously on one leg, continuously teetering, responding internally to external forces. Inside the body of the sofa, a robotic assembly maintains balance dynamically. As the sofa begins to fall, the mechanism senses tilting and exerts a force appropriate to counter the falling, resulting in an endless wobbling back and forth."
Balance comes from within. It’s a delicate act, and sometimes we fall down. ‘Balance from Within’ is a meditation on the nature of human relations, and the things we build to support them.

OST:
Amy Judd, a London based artist, takes her inspiration from the enchanting, imaginative relationship between women and animals found in traditional mythologies and stories from around the world. Amy’s paintings are sensitive moments between anonymous women and a bird or maybe a woman faceless and half-bird… via
We have shown some stunning underwater photography on the site before, but these delicately, darkly staged works by Tomohide Ikeya are some of the most bizarre and wonderful we have seen to date. The Japanese photographer has turned the her hobby of scuba diving into a conceptual body of work. via
Remko Heemskerk did these illustrations while living in New York. Long shadows and bright colours make them vivid and interesting
After three consecutive days of creativity, inspiration and hardcore talent; OFFF México has once again been a massive success this year. Starting with the touching speech by the brilliance of Héctor Ayuso, Josué Ibáñez and Alejandro Machorro, the audience experienced an endless journey shared with the dreamy work by Sougwen, the endless inspiration by Jessica Walsh, the experimental work by Julien Vallée and if we must say, the master of title sequences Kyle Cooper. Along with many other talented speakers, the audience ended their journey eager for another one in the next OFFF México in 2014. Naturally, the OFFF experience includes brilliant main titles and this time OFFF México introduced us to Jorinna Scherle; a young director and designer known for her unique style of work. Causing the beautiful audience to request to play it more than once, the main titles this year were new and experimental along with the collaboration of Ben Lukas Boysen with his remarkable work.
