A $1.8 million dollar clock unveiled by Stephen Hawking at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Seven years in the making. Scary amount of money, scary design, just plain scary. See how it works.

Impressive video for ‘We Have Band’
June 16, 2009
Check out this music video for electro-rock trio ‘We Have Band’. What’s interesting is that the clip was actually created by an ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy London. And if that weren’t enough, all 4,816 frames that made the final cut have been uploaded to Flickr, thereby allowing people to re-edit the sequence as they see fit. Love it.

The Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea currently has an exhibition celebrating the eightieth year of Yayoi Kusama. If her name sounds familiar, that’s because she recently exhibited at the MCA and the MOMA. My fav is Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity, an infinity room that will blow your mind. Check out it and her other work here.

When pen comes to paper, the only thing I can draw is a blank. That’s why I’m going to use these guys. The Jacky Winter Group is a new agency in town representing Australia’s finest contemporary illustrators.
