my one-and-only first love

i guess you can’t have more than one first love can you? any how before i met her i had the hardest crush on her, but you know what your imagination can do on a character of an unknown person and how far that can be from reality. that said shes still lovely as ever. by dd

under the sea

honestly, i came across this image on tumblr and know nothing about it, who it’s by, or what it was for (the type is to small to make out). would love to know more, but really, i think we get the most important part.   by kl

nature + technology makes beautiful music

YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.

landscapes to soundscapes, this is what artist bartholomäus traubeck has created this this piece ‘years’. it is a record player that translates the information on slices of wood into music by analyzing the rings for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. this data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. you can read more about the project and the artist here.  by kl

QUOTE OF THE DAY

a spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. but what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality. at the end of every labour-process, we get a result that already existed in the imagination of the labourer at its commencement.

quote of the day

“There’s no choice left in America anymore.  Anything that’s authentic and genuine, anything that grew out of any sense of tradition, is wiped out.  We’re left with this bland monoculture that’s swept over the whole country.”

rocking chair dream

rocking chairs have been on my mind for the past 6 months at least. i don’t understand why they haven’t remained a staple living room item… they are comfortable, meditative, and you can still do shit while you enjoy them. anyways, i was looking for some sort of  vintage danish heritage-y wooden answer but then i saw this buttery invitation by koinor polstermöbel featured at IMM cologne. and even though i would prefer the metal bits to be a lovely warm wood to make it a little less ‘modern’ and maybe even switch out the cream leather for a blonde tan leather, her curves are seductive, so i thought i’d share.  by kl
