Phonebloks
A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it's often just one part which killed it we throw everything away since it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But Dutch designer Dave Hakkens has another view on this problem. He just rethinks the way a phone may be constructed taking in account bricks based system Phonebloks. With functional modules you can construct a phone that can fit your needs of the moment, or the needs of particular audience or whatever you want.

Danielle - Aging experiment
"Last Thanksgiving, Anthony Cerniello traveled to his friend Danielle’s family reunion and with still photographer Keith Sirchio shot portraits of her youngest cousins through to her oldest relatives with a Hasselblad medium format camera. Then began the process of scanning each photo with a drum scanner at the U.N. in New York, at which point he carefully edited the photos to select the family members that had the most similar bone structure. Next he brought on animators Nathan Meier and Edmund Earle who worked in After Effects and 3D Studio Max to morph and animate the still photos to make them lifelike as possible. Finally, Nuke (a kind of 3D visual effects software) artist George Cuddy was brought on to smooth out some small details like the eyes and hair."
I wanted to make a person, I felt like I could tell a story with that, but it ended up feeling slightly robotic, like an android. I’m OK with that. Things never come out the exact way you plan them, but that’s the fun. The score I imagined would tell this woman’s life, with events speeding by as she aged, but in the end I thought it would be more interesting to go with an abstract piece of sound, and my friend Mark Reveley really came through because I love how it sounds.

Vogue and Google Glass
When technology meet fashion the new elite product is born, so that what I think Google is trying to do with its overestimated cult gadget Google Glass. I think most of you remember the first appearance of "real" G-Glass on catwalk for Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2013 last September and then a First Google Glass Porn video. Okay you have seen a lot about Glass last year and they are not yet on sale. They are still a sort of futuristic way of thinking about the gadgets and Vogue just splash some fuel on its marketing fire with its latest photo-session. Shot by Steven Klein on location of architect Roberto Bruno's house the session is spiced by Vogue's short message "Beyond the blue horizon lies a futuristic vision of fashion—a beautiful minimalism tailored for the brave and the bold."

Michael Johansson art
Sweden contemporary artist Michael Johansson among numerous of excellent installation works has "Some Assembly Required" and "TOYS’R’US" projects that attracted our attention. Fascinated by assembling objects from model kits as a child, Michael Johansson transforms everyday objects into models of themselves. Taking away their original purpose, the life-size kits hold a commentary on today’s ways of living. In his first piece from the series, TOYS’R’US, a boat and related equipment are joined together in a welded metal frame. Everything is painted in a unifying plastic layer to resemble the surface of a model kit.
