Art in 3D

Smart advertising is the best, pretty funny advert for the new Samsung 3D Led TV. Girl with the pearl earring is my favourite!

I am a Hero

This website allows you to customise a video with your photo in it. It's pretty awesome, make one and send it to your friends. The site takes quite a long time to load though but it's worth it. The creators claim it is 'the most successful global viral interactive film ever.' Have a look: http://en.tackfilm.se/

ARTIST: Alexa Meade

Alexa Meade is an amazing new American artist who doesn't paint images of people onto canvas but uses her subject as the canvas instead. That's right, she paints directly onto people creating this amazing 3D art. Her subjects are free to move so the painting can be changed to any position. She has an upcoming exhibition at the Saatchi gallery in October 2010. Her work has been called "reverse Trompe-l'œil" (a technique where realistic images are used to create a 3D image.) For more information visit her website: http://www.alexameade.com/index.html




"Green Seeds"

"Gross...I stepped in gum" This could be the end to all that mess. Designer Gonglue Jiang has developed a new solution for chewing gum disposal issues: a roll of paper wrapped around your tub of gum. Simply tear of a sheet, wrap up your gum and store it in the convenient temporary storage below until you're ready to throw it away. No more gross gum under tables, on the pavement and under our shoes.






Lapwear

This new range of plates, bowls and dishes is designed to be used when sitting down and eating. They may look weird but each one is molded in a certain way to make sure it ergonomically fits our body. Casual, chilled meals are becoming a lot comfier. Designed by Andrea Marin
