Superb.

Eden


 

The PS3 has among its multiple qualities the hability to let you play mini-games as the console loads up. One of these games was the beautiful Flow. Now it’s the turn for Eden, a beautiful videogame that mixes awesome physics interactions and gorgeous colors.
 
It’s still not out; but I imagine that just like Flow this will also be downloadable por the PC. Stay sharp.

Picking up rocks without machines


 

Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter who over ten years ago came up with a system to move heavy objects without using any type of machinery, only his whit. In fact, it uses the strength of only one man.
 
By heavy object I don’t mean a big pile of bricks or some steel beems. No. Wallington is capable of moving things as amazing as a one ton concrete block or a neighbour’s entire barn (watch video).
 
The system basically consists of applying torque from different angles using, amazingly enough, only pieces of wood and gravity.
 
Wallington assures that systems like these must have been used in historical constructions such as Stonehenge, and to prove it he’s been dedicated lately to building a replica in his own yard.
 
If this isn’t proof that whit is the most powerful tool there is, I don’t know what is.
 
Yet another reason to be inlove with physics.

Groupe F – Light Players


 

 

The great annual theater festival Santiago a Mil has been involved year after year in bringing to our humble country some of the most important and amazing performances worldwide, and this year it was no exception.
 
Today I had the privilege of seeing the beautiful “Players of Light” show, by the incredible Groupe F.
 
An outdoors and free event that involved everything I enjoy: Great music, mind-blowing fireworks, all sorts of lights and beautiful colors.
 
An experience that went on for a little over an hour that felt like ten minutesU, but I’m pretty sure it must have left the thousands of people that were there more than satisfied.
 
A sublime experience. A captivating game of lights of unmatchable quality.

Graduates give advice to new students through posters


 

At Falmouth University College all graduates are participating in a project named Advice to Sink in Slowly, which consists of giving advice through a poster to all newcomers about how to handle college life.
 
The idea behind this is that every student gets a free poster when they enter the University.
 
Awesome. Specially by the fact that the institution itself stands behind the idea.
 
And to top everything off, you can see the posters at this flickr or buy one to have at your own home for only 5 british pounds (plus shipping costs).

29 awesome music videos

The always asertive individuals over at SmashingMagazine have released a list with 29 awesome music videos.
 
The list overall is very well made and several videos are inspiring to say the least for their innovation and execution level.
 
My recomendation is to watch them all, it’s worth it. I’d love to leave a list of the ones I liked the most; but I kinda liked all of them.

Tunnel of light


 

This is one of the stairways at Nydalen subway station in Oslo, Norway.

Just beautiful.

Blue Eye – Touch-Screen Scanner

 

We’ve all seen a touch-screen. But now it’s the turn for a touch-screen scanner that, oddly enough, records the content of an object from the face that we see, not the machine. I think there must be some sort of special camera installed on the ceiling above.
 
The part with the moving mouse is specially cool.

Cartel Se Busca. Fund-raising party


 

This is kind of a local event in Santiago, Chile. So if you’re not in the area maybe you won’t be interested in this post… Anyways…
 
Cartel Se Busca (Poster wanted) is a project where 100 different artists are asked to interveine a foldable poster commonly found outside small stores around the city, also known as palomas (pidgeons) here in Chile.
 
Now the organization of the project is throwing a party to raise funds being held tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice but I’ve had a few problems posting the news.
 
The event’s info is on the flyer, but just in case, the address is Santos Dumontt 480. It’ll cost $1000 chilean pesos ’till 1 AM, after which it’ll cost $2000.
 
Those who can, try to go support this excellent and creative iniciative.

Oriental Gallery


 

I’ve never been much of a fan of the oriental culture; but still I can’t deny its enormous value in overall international culture.
 
Now I leave you a place to see what’s going on in the world of design over at the lands of the rising Sun.

New Year’s Eve around the World


 

I’ve been kind of M-I-A around here due to vacational issues, so I haven’t been able to greet evryone properly for the New Year that just went by.
 
That’s why in an apologie-like kind of way I want to leave with these few visual testiomonies of the celebrations for New Year 2008.
 
First is a compilation made by TrendHunter consisting of 8 videos of the festivities in such diverse locations as Dubai, New York, Hong Kong and Sydney.
 
The second is a more curious one. A series of 360 degrees panoramic views of different events. Among others you’ll find images of Copa Cabanna, London, Taipei and Rio de Janeiro, just to mention a few.
 
I sincerely hope this year is full of success for everyone and brings many learnings and new experiences.
 
A big hug for everyone swinging by this website.
