Lego Car

Whether its for real or Photoshoped, it reminds me of one of my favourite sculptures by Julian Opie, which knocks me out everytime i see it:
Its nice how internet hoaxes/virals and art can come so close together. Who will be the first smartie to use the JPG format to exhibit there art? (If someone is already let us know in the comment box)
One other sculpture playing with size by artist Charles Ray:

Entry on the William Gibson Blog
"People who complain about the very high cost don't understand the degree of sheer lunatic obsession that goes into these things. You are very unlikely to ever wear another piece of clothing this well-made. I know I never have. (They are actually better than the 1950s USAF originals, which were only finished to military contract standards.) They spent a million dollars, when the company started up, on machinery to reproduce 1950s USAF-spec Crown zippers. Nobody outside of Japan is very interested in paying for that, they told me, smiling. They have found their niche-market, bigtime."

Antworks
Apparently fascinating.
Found via Time.com's Best Inventions of 2005, which also features the twheel, or whatever it's called.

Less Design

For 2006 my new year's resolution is Less Design.
A lot of people wonder how they can make a difference to the world's decent into waste hell. I think designers have a unique oppurtunity to make a difference.
I can't believe how much 'design' I throw away into my bin. Who isn't sick of it?
Can we lead consumers (and ourselves) out of this mess instead of feeding fuel to this pollution? It's really up to us. As society becomes more and more intersted in design we have an unprecendented chance to do just that.
