Gabe pointed me to Christoph Niemann’s lego constructs of New York, they’re just awesome.

It’s called g-speak. Too bad that dude isn’t as hot as Tom Cruise.
SOFTlab has just completed the website for our good friends Frank Gesualdi and Hayley Eber at EFGH.
The site was conceived as a pulsing array of pixels that contain the projects. After a while, it looks like the site is breathing, almost alive.
Go check it out.

Our entry for the LE:60 festival. Will be shown on Oct 4th.
Guess who has a new site? The cool kids at Diller Scofidio + Renfro. It only took them this long to get one, but they did come out in style. Awesome site, using -what looks like- Papervision. It seems like it also went up quietly just recently.

Buckminster Fuller’s exhibition at the Whitney is fantastic. On the first floor is the Dymaxion car, which, cool as it is, is surpassed by the beautiful technical drawings for it.
The fourth floor is where the main exhibit is, and there are some incredible drawings and models of experiments and projects of ranging scales. There were quite a few projects and many drawings, sketches as well as footage of Fuller that I had never seen before, and it was truly a treat.
I left the exhibition feeling a bit uneasy though: there has to be some level of insanity in someone that has such faith in technology as the savior. His completely ‘technocratic-utopian’ view seems in a sense harmless (even naive), yet it displaces man so swiftly.
Don’t miss the fantastic model and drawings of the floating city, the incredible sketch for the World Fair and his geometric models.
