Hasta La Ideas

Une idée décoration et design par l’artiste italien Guido Costantino, sobrement baptisée Sprout Vase. Il s’agit en effet d’un vase original doté d’un support pour les fleurs, sous la forme d’une simple toile blanche. Un rendu étonnant à découvrir à travers plus d’images dans la suite.

The current issue of CR features The Annual, showcasing the best work of the past year. Nine projects have been chosen for our Best in Book section, the ultimate accolade. We will feature each of them in a series of posts this week with additional content to further explain each project. In this post, watch a making-of film for James Frost’s Radiohead video and see the responses of filmmakers to the release of its data via Google

The video for Radiohead’s House of Cards, directed by James Frost, is a technological first. Instead of using cameras, the promo was shot entirely by lasers and scanners, giving the images of a party, a street scene, and lead singer Thom Yorke an eerie and enigmatic effect.

The technique is explained in this making-of video:

As befitting the techie quality of the video, it was first released on Google.com. In addition, visitors to the site could also download the data and create their own visualisations, some of which are shown here.

What at first appears to be one of those dreaded "radar guns" the police use to catch speeders on the highway is actually Sanyo’s newest edition to the HD camera family, the Xacti HD2000. This bulky contraption is a huge step forward for "hybrid cameras", featuring high-quality photos AND video. (via Akihabara)

Nokia viNe is an application developed by R/GA for the phone company’s Nseries devices, all of which have GPS technology built in. The idea is simple: viNe lets people know what you’re up to and where, by geographically tagging your media consumption. For example, if you choose to record a journey using viNe, everytime you listen to an MP3, watch a video or take a photo­graph using your phone, viNe records the media activity and uses GPS to tag each MP3 or photo to the exact location where it was listened to or taken.

It’s all explained in this video created for the project by Airside
