This is an iPhone app created by the website Ffffound. It displays inspiring images that they’ve picked daily, which vary from photos, to artwork, to stationary, and architecture. A great app to go to to get inspired.

This fascinating little app was featured on a recently re-run episode of Studio360 where contributor Eric Molinsky described using the program as an antidote for his insomnia. The app taps into CCTV cameras from around the world. I don’t have insomnia, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t have slightly voyeuristic tendencies, just like the app’s thousands of other users. By far the best part: you can control the camera from thousands of miles away! Technology is baffling.

I liked the idea of broadcastr, an app that lets you record personal stories and pin them to a particular location, letting others stumble across them as they careen through cities using their iPhones like narrative-sniffing bloodhounds. Read more

Like It, Stamp It! This new, Instagram-style Iphone app allows you to give a ‘stamp of approval’ to the things you like and share it instantly. In doing so, it avoids the confusion you can experience with 1 to 5 star ratings, which can sometimes be hard to figure out. Brilliant!

This is a bizarre and funny musical app for the iPhone and iPad. Have you ever tried to make sounds with crystal glasses? Now you can use your phone or pad as a crazy instrument with all the notes, as well as challenge yourself over 20 levels of fun. Clink clink.

Now this is fun. Developed by the team at Benrik, Situationist is an iPhone app that ‘makes your everyday life more thrilling and unpredictable’. How? Simple: ‘It alerts members to each other’s proximity and gets them to interact in random situations. These situations vary from the friendly (“Compliment me on my haircut”) to the subversive (“Help me rouse everyone into revolutionary fervour”). The point of it all, of course, is to interact with strangers. Clever? Yes. Frightening. Perhaps.

Mobile Art Lab, an offshoot of the giant Japanese Dentsu advertising agency which develops mobile specific content, recently launched the PhoneBook project, with the ‘aim of finding new ways to connect parents and children using the iPhone’. The project mashes up the digital benefits of the iPhone with the ‘analogue advantage of books’ to produce this epic mobile application.

With the introduction of the free app TuneIn Radio, the charms of the ‘wireless’ (no, not that wireless. We’re talking old school here) can finally be re-discovered. With more than 50,000 of the world’s radio stations tuned in, punch in a genre and you could be listening to stations from DubstepFM to DooWop Cafe wherever you’re at. Who said Internet killed the radio star?

A telephoto lens … for your iPhone. For real? I’m really not too sure what to make of this. Isn’t there an app for this instead?

The Echoism iphone app and website makes people symmetrical. Finally! It’s simple: ‘people take their self-portrait, then the program produces two symmetrical images, a left/left and a right/right. Users are asked to upload these to a website with everybody else’. The program, created by artist Julian Wolkenstein, seeks to answer the question: ‘do people consider themselves to be more beautiful if they are symmetrical?’ Read more

Beijing-based electronic music duo FM3 have gone a long way with their Buddha Machine, a loop-playing box inspired by similar machines found in buddhist temples across China. They recently rolled out a new line with translucent colors as well as an app for your iPhone or iPad.

I’m really digging the Horizons app, an ‘interactive sound toy’ for the iPhone and iPad which merges the beautifully atmospheric sounds of Eli Murray (Gentleforce) with generative visuals of Lukasz Karluk. Says Karluk: “it’s an exploration of colour, sound and form. The design of the piece focuses on creating subtle colour refractions in a rich colour scape complemented by deep, immersive sounds’.

Paris-based photographer Caroline de Vries has been featured in many group exhibitions, including the RCA Show at the Royal College of Art (London), Space at the Galerie Le Lieu in Lorient, France, and Failure/Success, curated by Nigel Rolfe, at Photo Month in Krakow, Poland. Read more
The work of Jennybird Alcantara is a trip, to say the least. This stuff is about as surreal is surreal gets. Think dolls, and animals, and plants, and insects, then mix it all up every which way and you’ve got the beautifully twisted paintings of Jennybird Alcantara.
Sometimes we need an ad to remind us of what’s important. Normal is beautiful. Keep our oceans alive. Vote. Be more fearless. The Whitehouse Post is an international post-production company whose projects are damn fine. In fact, they are the scary mix of wit and aesthetics that makes any message convincing. Long live Coca-Cola.
Designer Karl Lagerfeld has created a chocolate hotel room complete with a chocolate model eating chocolate ice-cream. It required around ten tons of Belgian chocolate to make this unique environment. Read more
Somehow, meme-based blogs never lose their charm. Maybe because they’re just so stupid. The FAIL blog is simply a catalog of the funniest FAIL images on the web.
Metronomy are a cool little London-based group headed by producer and remix extraordinaire, Joseph Mount. The sound sits somewhere between Autechre and Vitalic: clanging keyboards and body-gurning beats laced with an undercurrent of ominous electronica. It’s not as inaccessible as much of the more twisted electro-based stuff out there at the moment, although it retains an edge perhaps unpalatable for some ears. Yet there’s a catchiness to it that is clearly roping in the crowds: their live shows are a spectacle, complete with synchronised dancing and flashing costumes. If that floats your boat, they’re playing for free at the Tate Britain, London, on 27 September.

The mining and refining that provides the world with precious metals is also extremely damaging to the environment – each ounce of gold mined generates 30 tons of waste, much of which is toxic. Philadelphia-based Rust Belt make unique, finely crafted earrings, necklaces, and bracelets entirely from re-purposed and recycled materials. The processes they use to make their pieces are also environmentally sound, and they are shipped in beautiful, re-purposed glass bottles.
