Playful Space by artist Bruno Tyler is a video clip of his work we’d love to see here in Pittsburgh. Can you imagine swinging in the shelter while you wait for that late PAT bus? His commentary about the times a-changing for outdoor play is bang-on as well: the 20-30 somethings are the last bunch to ave all those nostalgic outdoor adventures. Nick began with its Get out and Play spots and we thought, huh? See what happens when people discover that quintessential outdoor plaything at their busstop in London: the swing.
Skaters rejoice, we’ve just added new premium boards in multiple sizes to the shop and will be continuing to bring you more in near future. Check em out in the new SeyrSk8 tab at the top of the blog!
Nasty, amazing and just plain cool, the creeping oobleck starts moving when sound waves are applied to the metal sheet this guy’s holding in this awesome video. See what the Oobleck scares up!
So they’re cute and colourful but what else can you do with Yves Behar’s Y-water bottles? Recycle them for one- they’re completely biodegradable. Healthful flavours like Brain Water and Health water, etc are full of good stuff and don’t have any harmful sugars to rot teeth. Besides not leeching chemicals (you’ve heard not to refill a water bottle because of this I’m sure), once used the neat little bottles can be locked onto other bottles to make whatever you wish. Inhabitots has photos of kids’ creations with their bottles.
Woohoo, we’re at our 100th post since merging PengiWear into SeyrWeyr on the new blog and we’re coming at ya with new shoes just in time for school in the Shoe tab and calendars for 2009 in the Merch tab.
With precision-coloured interiors, ColourLovers brings you cutaways of rocks and stones revealing inspiration from nature. You haven’t seen anything this cool since that 6th grade museum trip…
I admit it, when I see certain colours I hear music and when I hear music, I see explosions of colour. My husband thinks I’m hilarious when I get something sour in my mouth because I feel it in my hands and scratch at them. Sometimes I’ve wondered if I have some form of synesthesia (particular shades of colour give me a taste in the mouth not particularly congruent to the actual shade) and a project called Advanced Beauty over on ColourLovers (oh do I drool) have made a film “>based on the neurological experiences of Synesthasia patients. I’m in my glory at the moment, having just watched it. A good book about synesthasia is Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks.
Meet Emily- real or not? Apparently not. Emily was created by Image Metrics (think Grand Theft Auto) and though she’s stunningly rendered, we think there’s something just a tad off on the lips. Oh well, they got the eyes bang-on, which is supposed to be the hardest part to pull over on a human..
JONGOH LEE has designed LED-powered streetlights like you’ve never seen: softly glowing tree leaves! The lights wrap around the ends of tree branches to blend in and then glow in the night. Get the full story on DesignZen.
