Oh Shit. It's Lou's Project
From artist Blake Fall-Conroy comes the minimum wage machine. As long as you crank the handle it'll spit out one cent for every 5.04 seconds. Nice.
Vodka Pills
Saw this on Geekologie. It just struck me as a real WTF object. The idea of people using these pills to count there intake of booze is interesting. The idea of medicinal vodka is uncomfortable in this form. The idea of not having the flavour or savouring the taste but going straight to the outcome is bizarre. I think it would make a better art or design piece than an actual consumable item- I think it's interesting, quite sad and I wish I'd thought of it first.
Brutalism
I recently read this great article over on Design Assembly about brutalist/70's/modernist/ugly architecture. It seems very hit and miss to me as to whether this type of building works- as the article says the Southbank Centre and Hayward etc. was criticised to fuck but now with a revamp- it's one of my favourite buildings in London. And again Trellick Tower round the corner from Portabello Road Markets is stunning to look at but I'm not sure I'd want to live there- not so however with the Barbican buildings- I love them, it feels like a hidden architectural paradise in the middle of the city; it's so quite especially if you go to the sort of little green house part- they have fish and tropical plants and it's a great place to eat your lunch. Read the article, see the pictures.
Bromance
Hey anyone remember this pair of sexy Spain going guys?
