Raf Simons Zip Change Sneakers

July 22nd, 2008

If you buy the Raf Simons Zip Change Sneakers, you’ll get 2 pairs of shoes. Well actually not, you’ll get one rubber sole and 2 uppers which you can zip together. The idea is funny, but the sneakers look like … fugly and they even cost £499.00.

Skip Waste

July 21st, 2008

Oliver Bishop-Young is a graduate from Goldsmiths University in London. His Skip Waste project actually has 2 sides. One part is a website where people can submit the location of a skip and its contents, other people can search that website for items they could use. The second part are suggestions what you could do with an empty skip, the pool one is my favorite.

Fold Loud

July 21st, 2008

Fold Loud is a musical interface by JooYoun Paek.

Playing Fold Loud involves folding origami shapes to create soothing harmonic vocal sounds. Each fold is assigned to a different human vocal sound so that combinations of folds create harmonies. Users can fold multiple Fold Loud sheets together to produce a chorus of voices. Opened circuits made out of conductive fabric are visibly stitched onto the sheets of paper which creates a meta-technological aesthetic. When the sheets are folded along crease lines, a circuit is closed like a switch. Thus, the interface guides participants to use repetitive delicate hand gestures such as flipping, pushing and creasing. Fold Loud invites users to slow down and reflect on different physical senses by crafting paper into both geometric origami objects and harmonic music.

You can find a video on her website.
