  Come a long way, kinda by David Goligorsky
  Apple, Art, Associative Thought, Code, Computers, Iconoclasm, Interaction Design, Music, Past Future, Remix, Software, video

  Check out this "record player" iPhone app. The author, Theodore Watson, threw it together in one morning. I really like projects that get the point across quickly. It's a build-to-think mode and sparks dialogue (like this blog post) that gets people thinking about how to use what's around them. At Free Art and Technology, via NOTCOT

  A Primer of Design-as-Art Movements by David Goligorsky
  Aesthetics, Art, Design, furniture, history, History of Design, Iconoclasm, Perceived Value

  Contemporary auctions for design objects have been fetching prices that rival great artworks. These pieces are typically sitting on the same auction block. Where can one draw the line between a utilitarian design object and an artistic expression? Probably in the production quantity. Limited edition pieces by sought-after designers have the singularity of fine art, although the purpose of limited edition design objects can typically be attributed to bumping up a price tag. There's a good synopsis of five design-as-art movements at ARTINFO. They touch upon The Wiener Werkstätte, The Bauhaus, American Studio, Memphis, and Functional ...

  Wes Anderson Commercial Starring Brad Pitt by David Goligorsky
  Advertising, Associative Thought, Branding, Film, Iconoclasm, Japan, Music, video

  The latest Wes Anderson commercial, this time for Japan's SoftBank Mobile, involves a Mr. Brad Pitt in a yellow pith helmet fussing about during a particularly dense bit of action, strongly reminiscent of Jacques Tati's 1953 Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot. The song is Poupée de cire, poupée de son by France Gall. Perpenduum regulars will note the use of the Citroën 2CV.

  [caption id="attachment_623" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Car Cover Tent"][/caption] A tent in the shape of a car with canvas car cover. This is a great idea, although it would be fairly unsettling to be privy to the whims of passing traffic and "love-tap" parking jobs while you're in a pod you can't see out of. Also, I can imagine the looks you would get while setting up shop. Still, a nice way to claim you own slice of public space. This would be a fun tent to use at an actual campsite. (from an older post at the ...

  The following is an outlet available from Leviton. I can't believe this is the first time that three inlets have been offered for a standard-sized electrical receptacle. (via NotCot) [caption id="attachment_617" align="aligncenter" width="325" caption="Triple Outlet"][/caption]
