Forest in a Box



Here's the skinny from Gizmodo.com

In a public plaza in Oosterdokskade, Amsterdam, DUS Architects installed the Unlimited Urban Woods. On the outside: a non-descript white box with a few square meter footprint. On the inside: a forest as far as the eye can see.


Using a series of strategically angled mirrors, DUS made the illusory forest from just a single full-size tree. Hedwig Heinsman, one of the architects behind the project, said, "It's a space with its own horizon, where you can flee the city in the middle of town." Of course, all those mirrors mean that you'll always be sharing your forest-in-a-box with a whole crowd of people who look uncannily like yourself.

Blu "Big Bang Big Boom"

BIG BAG BIG BOOM - the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.



This is not the musician Blu. This is the Blu that breaks ground in stop animation. And this is his most prolific piece yet. Watch all the way to the end, and learn about Blu's views on how the world came to be. Not my standpoint, but the message at the end is thought provoking.

Adidas Leather Wings 2.0 High Top



Jeremy Scott continues with his wing theme for the footwear line of his Adidas Originals by Originals Collection. For Fall/Winter 2010 he presents the new Leather Wings 2.0 high top sneaker. While previously the wings were attached to the laces, this new version has the wings features on the heel. The sneaker comes in a classic white/black colorway.


Idk how to feel about these... I wanna say they're fly, but that might just be because of the wings on the side lol idk... I'll sleep on it.
