D. Billy: Urban Typo-Experiment

this is really interesting as its kindda like making our lives comical... swoosh n all... so fun...~



D. Billy : “After embellishing the found scenes and photographing the results, I leave my additions in place to engage passers-by for as long as the materials hold up. For me, this process encourages a reexamination of surroundings and objects that are usually taken for granted, and injects a hint of the fantastical surreality that I have established in my other work. Or, at the very least, I hope someone thinks these things are kind of funny.”

Manufacturing techniques: doing with ice what cannot be done with plastic

In some of Manhattan's better Japanese-staffed bars, like Tribeca's underground B-Flat, ice cubes are noticeably absent; ordering your scotch on the rocks gets you a large ice sphere. With less surface area than the same amount of ice rendered in cubes, a globe of ice will melt more slowly, keeping your drink cold without making it watery.

As an industrial designer, your correspondent couldn't help but notice the parting line on B-Flat's ice spheres; after all, it has to come out of a mold. But now a company called Taisin has come up with a clever device for making a perfect ice sphere with no parting line.

How does it work? You sandwich a large chunk of ice in between the two metal pieces pictured above. As the ice slowly melts, gravity brings the top half to close over the bottom half, enclosing what ice remains in its spherical cavity. Because the ice is in the process of melting into its new shape as the top closes, there's no parting line. Clever!

Other shapes are available as well; what you see at the bottom right of the photo is an ice soccer ball. (Don't ask, it's Japan.)

sweet cookie video~~~for love & love for cookies~~~

Magic Pony will premiere OH NO! and OH OH! - a double art toy release and signing with Canadian artist Gary Taxali (HF featured artist, Vol.5) on Thursday, May 8, 2008. Inspired by the original art Oh No!, these figures are wonderful translations of Gary’s work into 3D form; each armless & surly version stands aggressively upright and in a helpless victim position. Gary Taxali will be in attendance and will also be showcasing a small body of his olde time era infused works in the Magic Pony gallery from May 8-11.
