Robotic Vaginas, Nuff said [NSFW] [Video]
I love how it's two women operating this thing... giggle
WARNING: This video will probably leave you so traumatized that you'll be unable to look at a baby, vagina, or robot without cringing again. It will also leave you wondering why on earth someone designed a baby machine like this. More »

mary sibande
These amazing sculptures and murals remind me of Yinka Shonibare. I love the layering of cultures through object modification and mimicry.

'long live the dead queen' series by mary sibande on display in johannesburg
mary sibande is a south african artist based in johannesburg. here recent series 'long live the dead queen' was featured
within the city on the side of buildings and other structures as large, photographic murals. the series, like sibande's
practice as an artist, 'attempts to critique stereotypical depictions of women, particularly black women in our society'.
in the series black woman are depicted wearing extravagant victorian dresses in vivid hues. the pieces are actually
sculptures which sibande creates and then has photographed. while the murals we displayed in johannesburg this
past summer, they presented a contrasting perspective to the marketing focused billboards put on display for the
world cup. mary sibande is represented by gallery momo.

Uh oh. There's a new contender in the ring. Check out the video and tell me what you think.
We've caught plenty of glimpses of Samsung's 7" Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab, but now they're done beating around the bush. Here's nine minutes and change showing pretty much every feature it has to offer. And it looks awesome. [Crunchgear] More »

Spray-on Clothing: for the chronically late
I love this product. More garment magic that let's us be smart and creative with one of the daily activities we take for granted.

via CRAFT by Rachel Hobson on 9/17/10
Our friends at BurdaStyle point us to this video about Spanish fashion designer, Manel Torres, who worked with scientists to develop a spray-on fabric that can be used to create clothing.
The liquid is made from a suspension of tiny cotton fibers and plastic as well as a solvent. When it's sprayed, the solvent evaporates, and allows the material to harden.
Like existing materials, the fabric can be washed and re-worn, or be transformed in to new pieces of clothing.
The fabric can be dissolved with the same solvent and re-sprayed again and again.

suzanne lee: biocouture - growing textiles
I can't even imagine what this fasion technology will evolve into. But let's try... Eventually they'll be able to standardize production of the cellulose textile and add whatever genetic properties they wish. Bioluminescence, spots, stripes, fur, scales? Can you imagine putting on a scaled or feathered body suit made with traces of your own dna to match your pigmentation?!?! I can. and I can't wait.
'biocouture jacket'

london-based suzanne lee, is a senior research fellow in the school of fashion / textiles, central saint martins, london.
she is also the creative director of biocouture which investigates the growth of clothing through the use of
bacterial cellulose.
lee's latest garment - which uses these growing textiles - is the 'biocouture' jacket made from cellulose.
instead of coming from plants, the cellulose is produced by millions of tiny bacteria grown in bathtubs of
sweet green tea.

tell no one: seaweed
Very unigue technique. I wonder how they splice the layers together, must be like photoshop or something.
tell no one is the collaborative name of london based filmmakers luke white and remi weeke. the two recently
began to blog their creative process, showing the behind the scenes of the video experiments including seaweed.
this short video consists of a single person, slowly moving around the frame, leaving aspects of the body in
place as they continue to move. the layers of video slowly accumulate and sway in motion together,
creating an effect which aims to mimics seaweed. while the images of this video demonstrate the effect,
seeing it in motion is a must.
