I bet I was not the only one floating an idea of a photo series with computer screens removed from photos of people engaged with them on daily basis. Photographer Eric Pickersgil went further and set up “Removed” project where he gently removes mobile phones from social zombies of our days or literally from ourselves. What if if the device suddenly disappeared - we might look lonely, slightly crazy or perhaps next to a person being ignored…
If you put a little of Bosch’s anthropomorphism, a bit of Egyptian wall paintings and shake it with modern street art - you definitely meet Nicola Alessandrini. Italian artist creates intricate murals full of sacral meanings and signs as well as graphic artworks that won’t let you go
This is the Vision Mercedes Simplex concept, and it will never be put into production. The Simplex pays homage to the first ever car to wear the Mercedes name – the Mercedes 35 HP (or 35 PS in German) from 1901. The 35 was developed at the request of wealthy businessman and occasional racer Emil Jellinek, and was the first car to move away from the traditional high-riding motorised carriage design.

Floral artist Lewis Miller (previously) and his talented team arrange beautiful blooms in the most unexpected places in New York City. For nearly 3 years with his company, Lewis Miller Design, they worked on a very cleaver guerrilla marketing campaign: “flower flashes”, where they transformed trash cans into larger-than-life flower vases and used blooms to embellish the streets of New York, as well as the subways as public art.
“Carlos Neda is a digital artist based in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. His CGI pink-tinted, surreal visualizations of imaginary spaces combine the retro charm of plush carpets and modernist rounded shapes with contemporary influences.
Solitary yet utopian – these dreamy landscapes focus on the ambience. The soft light, set design, the combination of colors. Neda creates abstract, far-off realities filtrated through the perspective of modern design.” via @trendland
“Stark grey precast concrete, with an orderly gridded pattern covering every single surface visible to the eye. Large openings, pouring skylights, verdant greeneries embracing the neighbourly views. Monolithically, House in Ashiya by Japanese architecture firm Kazunori Fujimoto Architects stands still like a gentle giant in a residential area of Ashiya city, Hyogo Prefecture.”
“A 2019 graduate of the Royal College of Art's MA in Design Products, Giovannoni designed the soft silicone headphones to improve upon current bone-conduction audio technology.”
Like other bone-conduction headphones on the market, his design bypasses the eardrum and conveys sound as vibrations through the bones of the skull, directly to the cochlea — the "hearing" part of the inner ear.
Unlike any other device on the market, it does so via waterproof speakers that are fully immersed in liquid and then sealed in a pliable membrane. This membrane sits against a person's skin, transmitting sound vibrations through touch.
“I believe these are wasting an opportunity for a technology that has the potential of improving the music quality of common earphones and headphones.
Inmergo aims to unravel the undiscovered potential of bone conduction by delivering innovative and inclusive sound experiences that can improve the quality of our life.”

This new image-based video clip about Budapest is the result of an international collaboration between the Russian TimeLab video studio and the world-famous Hungarian musician, Havasi.
“In the video we see sleepy Budapest trams crossing the Széchenyi chain bridge.. dawn over the Danube River.. the majestic layout of the city from a bird's eye view... the glittering lights of Budapest by night... and the sunset over St Stephen's Basilica... and all this juxtaposed with the astounding music of Havasi.”
The gloom ripples while something whispers,
Silence has set and coils like a ring,
Someone’s pale face glimmers
From a mire of venomous color,
And the sun, black as the night,
Takes its leave, absorbing the light.M. Voloshin
The kinetic light installation "Duel" takes inspiration from the idea that conflict can act as a driving force. The concept of duality finds expression in the installation’s achromatic color scheme, as well as in its construction and form.
The installation’s main elements are 16 discs, all nearly flat and each with two opposite sides: one dark and one light. The opposites are in a constant state of “dueling” with each other, and all their attempts to reach one another instead result in continuous three-dimensional rotation. One recognizes in this movement the characteristic twists and turns of a coin that has been tossed into the air. The die has been cast, but the contest has not been decided yet. The discs’ movement through the air creates choreographed scenes with lights and shadows moving across space – the byproduct of a confrontation between two opposite and yet interconnected principles.
The installation was first presented on July 27-28, 2019 at the Present Perfect Festival in St. Petersburg in a separate space in the former factory. 16 motorized light elements were fixed to a 30-meter-long structure assembled in the form of a parabola and then driven in a smooth synchronous movement by custom created software.

Brest based designers Yauhen Liashchynski and David Tsibikoff (@leskeagroup) present the visualization of Tree House Constantia project designed by Pieter Malan and Jan-Heyn Vorster at Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design which was among the first projects created within leskea ARCHIREPLICA.
“ARCHIREPLICA was created to help newcomers to adapt to the corporative culture and working approach of leskea through creation 3D copies of vivid examples of modern architecture. The main duties of modern architect today, on our mind, are working and studying hard and systematically, to be inspired by the best works, never give up.”
“We knew the approach of the architects of this house - Pieter Malan and Jan-Heyn Vorster (Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design) - from the mass media, but the challenge was to show this building in a different way.
Now it is the first-person narration about one day of the house without any connotations with people living here, their fantasies and routine, just architecture and nature. “
