Could this remix be better than the original? A great rendition on a very enigmatic song by Frank Ocean.

Seems as though my favorite painter has some new pieces done to be showcased. Colorful and playful, but always dark and eerie as hell! Can’t get enough of Glenn Brown‘s art. He includes two sculpture pieces as well!

Bec & Bridge met at design school and since 2003 they have been showcasing a creative, young, yet chic fashion design to the world. Their collections can be describe as fun, outrageous energy, but very intricate in development. They bring a sense of excitement to a casual outfit. Check out the images from their collection:

This is that, you are falling for that cute girl you work with over the summer and all you can think about is cuddling with her, looking at stars, asking her 21 question about the most random bullshit ever, but in all honesty it’s not that cute, cause you’re just trying to get in her pants, indie music. Cool sounds, and comfortable vibes from the band Eastern Conference Champions. Download the song below after the break:

I wouldn’t be surprised if this house was featured in the new Transformers movie coming out in the summer. “The Safe House” by architectural firm KWK Promes is a fool proof, army withstanding, concrete box, safe house. When everything is such down and closed, this house looks like an abandoned army station. Located in Poland, they should’ve thought of this before Hitler came along:

The Safe House by KWK Promes:

“The clients’ top priority was to gain the feeling of maximum security in their future house, which determined the building’s outlook and performance. The house took the form of a cuboid in which parts of the exterior walls are movable.

When the house opens up to the garden, eastern and western side walls move towards the exterior fence creating a courtyard.

After crossing the gate one has to wait in this safety zone before being let inside the house. In the same time, there is no risk of children escaping to the street area in an uncontrolled way while playing in the garden.

The innovation of this idea consists in the interference of the movable walls with the urban structure of the plot. Consequently, when the house is closed (at night for example) the safe zone is limited to the house’s outline. In the daytime, as a result of the walls opening, it extends to the garden surrounding the house.

The sliding walls are not dependent on the form of the building. That is why this patent can be applied to both modern and traditional, single – and multi – storeyed houses covered with roofs of different geometry.

This universal solution we came up with gives a new type of building where not the form but the way of functioning is the most important. The name: “safe house” gains a new meaning now.

Accomplishment of this idea required the use of technically complex solutions. The most significant are the sliding walls (both 2,2 m high, 22 and 15 m long), which allow to interfere with the urban structure and determine the safe zone of the plot.

They are not the only mobile elements of the building. Apart from these, there are large shutters (all 2,8 m high, with a width ranging up to 3,5 m, opening up to 180 degrees) and a drawbridge leading to the roof terrace above the swimming pool.

The southern elevation is closed by an enormous roll-down gate of 14 and 6 m manufactured by a company normally supplying shipyards and air companies. It is made with white anodized aluminum which makes it possible to  function as a movie projection screen.

All the movable elements are based on built-in electronic engines, that guarantee safe  operation.

Wide glazings behind the movable walls let the building acquire energy during the day (winter) or prevent the sun’s heat from going into the house (summer).  At night, when the house is closed, the thick outer layer helps the building to accumulate the gained energy.  Such a solution together with the hybrid heat system (most of the energy is gained from renewable sources – heat pump and solar systems supported with gas heating) and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery makes the house become an intelligent passive building.

Every day the house acts in a similar way – it wakes up every morning to close up after the dusk. This routine reminds of the processes occurring in nature – the house resembles a plant in its day and night cycle.”

 

Incorporating scenes that seem to come from the 60s, 70s, & 80s, David Lyle blends in the pop culture world that we live in today. When I look at his paintings, a sense of eeriness lurks into my head. Seeing the brands, events, and images we are familiar with today added into pieces from the past creates a sense of uncomfortableness that I can’t explain, I am really amused.

Italian abstract installation artist Moneyless was in San Francisco for the Linear Empires show at White Walls Gallery. He hit up various parts of the city and wildlife to show off his seemingly floating alien looking objects. Dope!

Three years after their 2008 release, Atmosphere finally drops The Family Sign along with an cute/trill video of their second track, ‘She’s Enough’. Take a look and download the joint underneath:

Currently living in Brooklyn, New York, but originally from Baton Rogue, Louisiana hails the photographer Fletcher Chancey. I stumbled upon his photography as I was browsing through Triangle Triangle. Love and enjoy his style.  

Someone told me that TV On The Radio had made a 1 hour music video for their entire upcoming album Nine Types of Light, which sounds fantastic by the way. I didn’t believe them until I saw it with my own eyes. For each song comes a completely different video, so it’s not anything that Kanye did. Enjoy!

Y-3 has showcased very sporty and constructed drop of clothes for the 2011 spring and summer season. Mostly using block shades of black, white, and red, the collection features a plethora of shirts, button downs, shorts, outerwear, hats, and other accessories. Very sharp. 

the mythical white iPhone 4 is ready to make itself available to AT&T and Verizon customers in the coming weeks. Bloomberg has multiple sources telling them that Apple has finally solved the manufacturing challenges they encountered along the way (including peeling paint), and are confident enough to begin shipping the phone. And with all the iPhone 5 delay rumors circulating, this seems like something to hold the masses over until the next big refresh…whevever that might be.
