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.

inez and vinoodh do vegas
not available in the US yet, we get a peek at french vogue’s new vegas exploration by inez and vinoodh. daria looks beautiful as always, the hair (by james pecis) is gorgeous and on-theme, but where’s the turtleneck? didn’t think she could compete with the king?
ps. do you think i can get away with singing this to someone? only avec turtleneck, naturellement. by kl
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

paper furniture by studio job
“paper, cardboard and papier-mâché are familiar to all of us. they bring back memories of kindergarten and our first experiences of making things. inspired by classic icons but manufactured like modern day furniture, this furniture collection is an ode to classical style and to the material.” what a great concept- find it at moooi. by m+m
jil sander and alfred hitchcock
according to alfred, “self-plagiarism is style”
i’m not sure what that has to do with this gorgeously intriguing campaign for jil sander’s s/s lines, but it seems fitting. inspired by hitchcock films of the 1940’s, stylist oliver rizzo and photographer willy vanderperre brilliantly transcend the worlds of cinema and fashion here (not to mention the beautiful daria stroukos and natasha poly)
it really makes me want to go home and watch ‘spellbound’ for the millionth time. by sv
