ECO ART: Henrique Oliveira’s Urban Peels

Inhabitat | Mar 14, 2009 02:01AM

Artist Henrique Oliveiraa was a student in São Paulo, Brazil when the plywood fence outside his window began to peel and fade into different layers and colors. The wood, called tapumes in Portuguese is ubiquitous in the Brazilian city, serving as enclosures and barriers for various sites. When the fence was dismantled, Oliveira harvested the remains and used them as materials for his senior show. The result propelled him into his current work: undulating, swirling, bulging peels of wood layered [...]

Marc Newson of his new A380 interiors

Pop Wuping | Mar 14, 2009 12:35AM

Marc Newson is interviewed by Iconeye on his design of the interiors for Quantas' new A380s. Beautiful work. You say you spend a third of your time flying. What is the first thing you wanted to change or improve? Its so many things, but in order of priority, I guess its simply getting on an aeroplane and just feeling kind of nauseous because they look so awful. Just the prospect of getting on an aeroplane and having to sit there...awful [...]

Richard Vine: The Wire comes to BBC2 [Guardian] "The Baltimore crime drama is about to be shown on BBC2. Will it finally get the audience it deserves?" No - or maybe that's yes - because, either way, surely most of its audience have seen it by now? When will broadcasters speed these things up? They're their own worst enemy.

It's a user-generated menu item and people are trying to order it by its (rather unpalatable) name and then documenting the results. Like the obscene Skittle comments on Twitter, this is people taking a brand (and an experience) and playing with it. And then using the Internet to bring energy to that small piece of celebratory rebellion. [...]
