Extremely interesting article by Sam Jacobs on
Prism.
As details of the American National SecurityAgency's Prism programme emerge, alongside
concerns about democracy, freedom, state
surveillance and the complicity of corporations,
something also seems to be revealed about the
ways in which digital technologies arefundamentally reformulating the ways in which
design - a new kind of design born out of digital
culture - now organises and impacts the way we
live.

Apart from the ethical implication of this Prism
story, the other (very) disturbing of the wholestory is the visual appearance of their logo.
Not even Darth Vader in Star Wars could have
imagined such a lousy thing...
Prism is the dark side
of design thinking.

Ristorante La Fontana Di Chen&Lin
Black Flower
I have to say that I really enjoy drawing on themini iPad. I use Paper 53 as a drawing tool, and i
spend lots of hours copying the masters.
Here above, a black flower, from an original work
by Jannis Kounellis.
Soon, I will make a folder with some of the
drawings I like the most...

Kolmanskop, Namibia
A Special Ghost Town
Yesterday, Rachapornshared this link on 30
abandoned places that look truly beautiful: http:
//www.whydontyoutrythis.com/.../30-abandoned-
places
Here my favorite ones.
First is Kolmanskop, in the Namib Desert:
(Afrikaans for Colemans hill, German:
Kolmannskuppe) is a ghost town in the Namib
desert in southern Namibia, a few kilometres
inland from the port town of Lderitz. It was
named after a transport driver named JohnnyColeman who, during a sand storm, abandoned his
ox wagon on a small incline opposite the
settlement. Once a small but very rich mining
village, it is now a popular tourist destination run
by the joint firm NamDeb (Namibia-De Beers).

Pallant House Gallery
Harriet Judd, head of commercial services and
audience development at Pallant House Gallery,
says, The exhibition itself is a sort of collage: it is
about bringing together all parts of Paolozzis
work, from his well-known pop screen prints, to
the public commissions like the murals at
Tottenham Court Road tube station in London, to
the lesser known designs for fabrics and ceramics
as well as his early forays into collage.
The challenge for this publication, was how to
synthesise all of those disparate parts into one
cohesive form which bridged the early and later
work, the pop prints with the bronze sculptures
etc.

Image above: Eduardo Paolozzi, Mein Kolner Dom -
Blueprints for a New Museum, 1980.
Typical work of Paolozzi. Cologne Cathedral forms
a backdrop for the wild array of of assembled
images.
"I created a kind of blueprint for my ideal museum
- the museum has one example of everything that
is wonderful and has meaning - an aeroplane,
railway engine, a large model of a pig, Einstein,
computers, the Beauborg." Paolozzi, 1983

Stenop.es
This is so nice
Stenop.es is an experimental visual project using a
primitive technique: The Camera Obscura. Applied
to an original scale, the project is based on
projection from the outside to the inside. Two
layers are merging while the landscapes takes
place in the interiors intimacy.
Romain Alary and Antoine Levi are both
photographers and cameraman and this website is
the outcome of one of their common work.

Food flavors across cultures and geography vary a
lot.
Some cuisines use a lot of scallion and ginger,whereas another might use a lot of onion and
butter. Then again, everyone seems to use garlic.
Yong-Yeol Ahn, et al. took a closer look at what
makes food taste different, breaking ingredients
into flavor compounds and examining what theingredients had in common.
