Straight from (where else) Japan, D-Bros stationary will ship you a parcel of post-it notes you’d rather eat than write on. The name is a portmanteau of the Japanese ‘kudamono’, fruit, and ‘memo’…memo. In any case, it’s a really sleek design that will look great on a minimalist’s desk or artfully arranged into a fruit basket. (More…)

A while back we had flying cameras capturing light shows; this time, the guys at Lichtfaktor are showing us how they do it the other way around. The Cologne Artists’ Collective, consisting of VJ $ehvermögen, Visionlabz, and JIAR, uses everything from bicycle to LED lights to project electromagnetic visions onto urban ‘scapes. (More…)

Painted onto works of musical art and scattered throughout cities across the world, this catchphrase is a source of inspiration, creativity, community engagement, and some pretty deck tunes.
Mastermind Luke Jeram (who also happens to be a ridiculous sculptor) wants to bring neighbors and strangers together to experiment with the common language of music, pushing through a logistic nightmare to introduce dozens of pianos into public space.
Drawing out reclusive musicians and new talents alike, the Street Piano project is an outlet for artistic expression and a gateway for some serious ‘people bonding.’ Bonus: each piano is essentially a work of art ready to be reinvented by its local family. Check out the site for more info and get pumped for the next install, NYC.

I have to admit that I was never too keen on zoos as a kid, but when I discovered Julie Peasley’s Particle Zoo, I knew I was touring a quirky e-zoo so creative, so educational, so…so very soft, that it would be immediately bookmarked for posterity. A theoretical particle physics enthusiast/seamstress (dynamite combo), Julie keeps her zoo stocked with everything from the standard model plus the very latest in exotic particles to promote the newest research: electrons and Higgs, tachyons and quarks—all hand crafted and even proportionally weighted according to relative mass. Not to mention, The Zoo donates proceeds to science classrooms in need. Definitely check out this awesome project and be on the lookout for the new arrival: the quantum duck. Buy Julie’s creations here.
