London’s The Vinyl Factory has published their Top 100 Vinyl Releases of 2014, and as expected from this annual treat, it’s a penetrating look at the year’s 7”s, 10”s, 12”s, EPs, LPs and box sets. Many of the artists we’ve covered throughout our year……

They might be kept under the glass floor of a boxing ring-like installation, but that doesn’t mean the robots within NYC’s National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath)’s new exhibition aren’t friendly. In fact, they seek out interactions with each other……

Give ’til it hurts this holiday season, by bestowing the gift of a tattoo session with Amanda Wachob. The Brooklyn-based artist (pictured at left, inflicting ink upon an unsuspecting orange) has partnered with New York’s New Museum to offer a dozen tattoo sessions as part of her “Skin Art” project. For $500 ($400 for museum members), Wachob will tattoo the human canvas of your choice with one of 23 unique designs chosen from a menu of colorful abstract squiggles and brushstrokes she created exclusively for the museum. The experience will be made all the more indelible by a special edition of prints, 20 per session, that visualize the tattoo process: Wachob has worked with neuroscientist Maxwell Bertolero of UC Berkeley to develop colorful ways of capturing the unique time course and voltage levels of her tattoo machine as it inks. We hear sessions are going fast, so e-mail store [at] newmuseum.org to reserve a session.

The wait is over: today at the stroke of 11 a.m. the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum reopens its meticulously restored doors to the public, revealing the results of its four-year, $91 million expansion project. Among the first of ten inaugural exhibitions and installations that visitors will encounter is the exquisitely presented Maira Kalman Selects, in which the author, artist, and designer has transformed the former music room of the 112-year-old Andrew Carnegie mansion with objects ranging from calligraphy samplers and a vintage edition of Alice in Wonderland to Gerrit Rietveld‘s Zig Zag chair (“He took things to their elemental line,” says Kalman of the Dutch designer. “He was rigorous–but had a sense of humor.”) and lemon-hued leather slippers from 1830 that give Dorothy’s ruby pair a run for their money.

Après Kung-Fu Panda, le réalisateur Mark Osborne a décidé d’adapter « Le Petit Prince », le chef-d’oeuvre d’Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, sous la forme d’un film animé réunissant les voix de James Franco et Rachel McAdams. Le film revisitera ce classique de la littérature française à travers l’histoire d’une petite fille qui découvre ce conte. Sortie prévue le 7 Octobre 2015 en France.
L’artiste Diane Meyer prend des clichés évoquant des souvenirs de lieux et son histoire personnelle pour les transcender en y ajouter des lignes de points de croix. Les carrés de broderie donnent l’impression que l’image devient floue et pixelisée. Ses deux séries « Berlin » et « Time Spent That Might » sont à découvrir en images.
The Dual Mixer is a Blender that can sanitize all ingredients to be blended thoroughly, before you mix them up. The cleaning process begins inside the blender itself and the system takes care to wash off dirt, grime and microbes, using torque pressure to do the job. An interesting aspect for us to look into, what do you think?

Competition: Dezeen has teamed up with German design label L&Z to give away five colourful multipurpose containers by Michel Charlot that fold to different heights depending on the needs of the user.
Each of the Roll-Up Bins is packaged in a thin cardboard tube similar to a bin bag, and can be unfurled when removed from this container.
Available in a range of simple block colours, the bins can hold between 10 and 30 litres of contents and fold up or down allow them to be adapted for different uses including a bin for waste, a plant pot, a toy basket or a general container.
When unfolded, the bins have the appearance of neatly folded, glossy, thick plastic bags formed into slightly skewed pots.
These can be extended or shortened by the user, or rolled up again for easy storage when not in use.
Although flexible, each Roll-Up Bin is cast from tough, PVC-free TPU plastic and can free-stand securely on the ground. They are also completely waterproof.
Established in 2011, Berlin-based L&Z specialises in developing and manufacturing products for the work place.
Industrial designer Michel Charlot graduated from the ECAL school of art and design in Lausanne in 2009, where he now teaches. In 2011, Charlot set up his own practice and has since designed for NAVA Design, Belux, Vitra and L&Z.
Charlot’s U-turn spotlight lamp, designed in collaboration with Belux, was awarded the 2014 Design Preis Schweiz – a Swiss design award for industrial products.
