Flying
July 25

Cool cars, beautiful lights, strange scenes. By Matthew Porter at Jack the Pelican Presents, Brooklyn.

“Somerset County is rural middle America at a time when people felt free. Kids replaced religion with road movie fantasies and rock and roll. Folk musicians sang about nature and love. Everyone seemed to be coming together in a spiritualized secular transcendentalism. In retrospect, we see innocence. Many feel nostalgia.”

Book trade labels
July 23

Anyone who handles old books will have come across these small and sometimes beautiful labels pasted more or less discreetly into the endpapers. Publishers, printers, binders, importers, distributors and sellers of books -new, second-hand and antiquarian- used to advertise in this way their contribution to bringing the book to market.

Wall house
July 21

As opposed to the general notion that our living environments can be properly described and designed “in plan”, this project is a design investigation into how the qualitative aspects of the wall, as a complex membrane, structure our social interactions and climatic relationships and enable specific ecologies to develop. The project breaks down the “traditional” walls of a house into a series of four delaminated layers ( concrete cave, stacked shelving, milky shell, soft skin ) in between which the different spaces of the house slip… Continue reading

Phonofone
July 20

Through passive amplification alone, These unique pieces instantly transform any personal music player + earbuds into a sculptural audio console.
Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles* (or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers)
Upon connecting active earphones to the Phonofone their trebly buzzing is instantly and profoundly transformed into a warm, rich and resonant sound. By Science & Sons
