Cormack O'Connor Contributor

By Cormack O'Connor in New Design on Wednesday 9 January 2013

If you don’t already find your iPhone fun enough to play with, you can now turn it into a LEGO brick thanks to design company Tinkerbrick. Users can make LEGO creations, using their phone as a base or as part of the design. Some have even built structures to support their phone while recording video. For just $33 it sounds like a good investment to us. Check out what iPhone/LEGO enthusiasts have been up to below.

Awesome photo art by Area Bridges

Mates of State Reader Find

By Mates of State in New Photography on Sunday 23 December 2012

This is the art of a stay-home dad who always has a crazy camera with a long viewfinder made out of Legos with him. He is the anonymous creator of rock sculptures along the beaches of the Long Island Sound, which are the subject of many of his photos. He also makes cool loops with his Rhodes and guitar and snare drum and carefully pieces his loops together in tandem with his photo art in beautiful short movie snippets. My favorite pieces are these planet-esque (or some are eyeballish) photo collages he makes.

Photography that represents problematic scenarios

Mariana Monteagudo Reader Find

By Mariana Monteagudo in New Photography on Thursday 6 December 2012

My intention is not to try to change the world. I’m aiming, instead, to represent some of the new and problematic scenarios of the contemporary world, which, without realizing it, have become part of our everyday life. I want to awaken consciousness about them in the individual. These allegorically portrayed situations reference a variety of the ‘accidents’ that are caused by humans. My series denounces what has become a habit. Art by Rodolpho Vanmarke.

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Photography on Wednesday 28 November 2012

The city I live in, Singapore, regularly gets flake for its densely concrete landscape — our land covers just 704 km2 of the world — so it’s quite refreshing to look at this classy architectural photo series by Lithuanian artist Aiste Stancikaite. Everything looks so beautiful.

Kenna Reader Find

By Kenna in New Music on Thursday 25 October 2012

The short music video, Long Gone, is an allegory. This story as a narrative is a cautionary tale that speaks to what you’re really manifesting in this life: are you pursuing stardom or are you pursuing leadership? Are you actually trying to be a star or are you trying to be a great artist?

Jilli Rose Reader Find

By Jilli Rose in Tech on Friday 19 October 2012

A powerful credit-card-sized computer for $35, developed by eggheads at Cambridge University specifically to remove the don’t-mess-with-my-expensive-machine preciousness of computers, encourage kids to tinker, and thus improve the calibre of their computer science applicants. As you would expect, kids are doing mind-bending projects with them, like brain-controlling their Lego robots.

By Denimu in New Products on Tuesday 18 September 2012

Just last year, Caroline and Nick Savage formed an estimate that indicated that nearly 99.9% of all people have no Lego legacy at all. Who better to immortalize in the iconic toy than the Olympic and Paralympic heroes of this last summer.
