Wii-Graffitti

WiiSpray Teaser from Martin Lihs on Vimeo.

A couple of students modified the Wii controller and turned it into a digital spray paint can. Check out the video, it's pretty self explanatory. First impression is to say that "graffiti is supposed to be a public art form" and doing it on a screen at home kind of defeats the purpose. It's also not very rebellious - you're not reclaiming any space in particular. However, there could be a way to share this stuff online and maybe people will trade reach for context.

A $600 Magazine

Visionaire, a super exclusive high end art and fashion magazine released a pop-up edition featuring the works of artists such as Sophie Calle, Andreas Gursky, Cai Guo-Qiang and more. The whole idea is absurdly cool. Order yours here.

Fruity Drink Skins

Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa decided to create juice box packaging that looked and felt like the flavor of the drink. Why not right? The visual and feel of the packaging would certainly help the experience of drinking it. And maybe it could go as far as getting us to forget that the box only contains 5% actual fruit juice.

Real Lives of Superheroes

NYC based photographer Dulce Pinzon has an interest set of photos titled "Superheroes" which document Mexican immigrant workers at their jobs while donning superhero costumes. Visually, it's satirical and very engaging. However, story behind it is just as interesting, especially right now as humility and earnestness seem to be the qualities we relate better to right now. Find more photos here.

How Google Could Die

Why Could Google Die...

View more presentations from Ouriel Ohayon.

faberNovel, a French innovation company, has released an analysis on the threats and weaknesses that could present some problems to Google down the road. It's an interesting analysis because we've always thought of Google as one that can do no wrong.

Some of the surprises in there were: the inability to hire and retain key people, inability to scale operational process and development of innovative disruption on Google's markets. It seems as though what made them strong and unique before are starting to become liabilities as the company becomes larger and more corporate.
