went up to the opening of Tom Fruin's (non functioning) watertower in DUMBO, made out of salvaged plexiglass and steel - pretty nice!

pretty fantastic

caught these LED flickering candles by Moritz Waldmeyer at Ingo Maurer's design week party last night - always creating/showing the most innovative in lighting.

each 'candle' is an individual unit, comprised of a custom-designed 250-LED panel and circuitry. waldemeyer explained to designboom that he programmed the behaviour of the 'flame' based on video footage of actual candles, converting the moving imagery to pixel data and working with a software engineer to code each individual LED to reflect the movement of the flame, achieving an extremely realistic representation. from a slight distance or in darkened settings, the pixels meld together and the top of the lighting unit disappears, leaving only a virtual flame visible and flickering atop a candle-like form - designboom

HOT TEA

great new take - fence tape graffiti. Maybe it's an evolution of the masking tape suburban house reported earlier here 06.04.09 - it's on the same block
