Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Ichirorabbit’s shared home office and music room:

There isn’t much to say about this office that the images don’t say themselves. Using furniture from Ikea, Ichirorabbit has created an amazingly well organized and highly functional shared office. I also love the creative use of the floating shelves. This office is impressive on numerous levels. Thank you, Icirorabbit, for sharing your workspace with us.

Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.

Patrick Vale a dessiné avec détail la magnifique vue sur Manhattan depuis l’Empire State Building. L’illustrateur nous offre ici une vidéo du plus bel effet, avec un travail impressionnant. Titrée « Empire State of Pen », cette représentation de New York réalisée en avril est à découvrir en vidéo dans la suite de l’article.

Mother New York has created a striking new billboard and print campaign to help promote cycling in the city.

Created for Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy organisation committed to supporting cycling, walking and public transport in the city, the campaign features aerial shots of bike riders on New York streets, combined with statements about cycling in the city. It aims to encourage people onto BikeNYC.org, a website providing information on bike events, tips and deals.

Interaction Design Intern
Intel Labs Europe
Leixlip, Ireland

Intel Labs Europe is seeking an intern who will focus on turning ethnographic insights captured in the field into the data driven needs of city dwelling citizens into prototype engineering concepts. The initial focus of the internship will be to create a conceptual information consumption platform driven by extrinsic (transport, local traffic route timings, air and environmental quality, weather etc) and intrinsic data sources (electric and water consumption).

Tom Hingston Studio has worked with Anomaly and Harmony Park to create a new site for Robbie Williams as part of the campaign for Williams’ forthcoming album…

The customised Tumblr site features an interactive sculptural bust of Robbie at the top which visitors can spin to their hearts content and select different areas of Robbie’s mind to explore. When a specific topic on Robbie’s mind is selected, the onscreen content changes to reflect that topic choice. So if you click “music”…

The content specifically tagged for that category becomes the only content on the screen:

Of course, as with any very recently started blog, there isn’t yet heaps of content here, but with new content being added each day, and with some currently missing sections of Robbie’s brain still to be added to the site over the next few weeks – over time the site will offer more layers of content and more stuff to explore.

Whether Robbie himself will be posting to the site personally is unclear at the moment – but in a world of ever increasing social media savviness, it’s interesting to see a regular Tumblr blog (albeit with some fancy customisation of an existing and readily available template) being utilised by a major artist like this.
