Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames

tiana — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:24:58 +0000

In one way or another design is a visual experience, yet there are so many lectures, conferences, and videos about design that are devoid of any visual stimulation/information. For this reason I was really happy to find these videos from Pacific Standard Time. Each video focuses on an artist from our current culture to present the work of an artist or designer from the past. In, Ice Cube Celebrates the Eames, he commemorates both Charles and Ray Eames while relating his experiences of LA.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Attend HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth)

tiana — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:49:31 +0000

I was recently in New York to attend The Next HOPE, the 8th Hackers On Planet Earth conference. HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) is a conference sponsored by 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. While returning home from the event, I was thinking of a friend of mine who would have enjoyed the conference as much as I did.
So I sent her an email,
Ten Reasons Why You Should Attend HOPE:

1. NERDS, we <3 them
2. Interesting lectures, not just technical stuff
3. Hackers On Planet Earth care about human rights, as Saturday’s Keynote Address was given by Jacob Appelbaum from Wikileaks
4. Federal agents come and sometimes… this happens
5. Art/tech/philosophy group monochrome
6. The ratio of women to men :)
7. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA references, they happen.
8. YOU WILL LEARN STUFF.
9. INTERNET MOTHERFUCKERY. Come for the lulz!
10. To help save the Hotel Pennsylvania from demolition

Back in 2007, Design Miami featured a three day tattoo parlor furnished by DWR. Organized by Tobias Wong, JosÃ©e Lepage, and Aric Chen, “As Long As It Lasts,” featured tattoos designed by Hella Jongerius, 5.5 Designers, Yves Behar, Tord Boontje, Vito Acconci, KAWS, Juergen Meyer H, Andrew Allenson, and Lawrence Weiner.

OOF also makes a series of fun temporary tattoos.

Then there are concept tattoos, like in Fredrickson Stallard’s “Pantone.”
