It's all there it's all free and it's all ours!

I always found it hard to realize that some people still don't know what they can really get from the internet.
Far from advocating that it is a place you should spend your life on, it is undeniable that you can get anything you can imagine that can be digitized in a way or another! from ebooks to movies, seminars, tutorials, softwares, to mood generators and brainwaves frequency emulators...it's all a click away.

Information is the new currency, and if you still don't know how to get your hands on it you are way behind! May you be a lawyer or a designer, an architect or simply someone who enjoys movies! It's all out there...it's all free and it's all yours...but if your mind still refuses to change its old habits...well too bad for you...because a lot of people out there are simply born with mouse in their hands....
We have massive advantage over you, may it be academically, or technically, and even culturally...taste, fashion, the magazines we have access to, and all the networking facilities available...it is simply insane!

So in other words if you still pick up the phone to order pizza you're way behind and you better get moving!

It's all there it's all free and it's all ours!

back to the UK

Now that the summer is over, and after spending it in the studios recording a new album and on the seashore...i'll be back to feed my hungry little blog :)

second year at the rca is gonna be fun! i'm sure although other former student would disagree... i think it's the last opportunity to enjoy design to the fullest before a full fledged professional life, especially that i might end up with a couple of brats at home constantly supplicating for junk food and playstations....

so the blog is back, i'll try to make it more explanatory this time...but i just assume you guys are smart enough to understand my products.... :P

can objects be vehicles of political ideologies?

Can the object be a vehicle of political beliefs?
What are the previous examples of objects that led or contributed to minor or major political transformations?
What have the different parties throughout history used to induce and enforce their political beliefs onto people and their followers? And can we design objects that counter such practices?
Can we design objects that trigger revolutions?
Can the use of an object induce a cultural perception and political opinion onto the user?
Can the ownership of an object push us into a new line of thought and beliefs?
Is the actual design of objects inducing on a subliminal level the system of beliefs of a capitalist or socialist way of life?


if you have any ideas, answers or references to this series of interrogations, i'd appreciate it if you'd leave a piece of comment...

also some work on the base obviously.... :)

cup of tea?

working on the cup of tea, i like to have my hands around it to warm them up, i also enjoy the vapors of green tea on my cheeks...

what i really hate is when my nose goes into the cup or hits the other side....
so guess i tried to come up with a bit of a solution (i hope)...work in progress anyway....:P





the side from which you drink...





the 'other side'...






the side view is more about the shape of the hands, so you can see where the thumb goes, same for the rest of the hand...





this top view actually shows how the cup was designed from the shape of a face...simple but i guess that's where the face is going hehe!

first semester work on platform 5






Motion and body signal music generator...

wobbly, bubbly, this thingy actually generates music when you play around with it... :D and it actually works!!!
with built in sensors it turns movements, body signals and friction into sound...i'll upload a video sometime later...



so getty image i kinda like the other look of it too...




intelligent textiles


working on friction based nano motors...here are some examples i worked on with weaver and textile student at RCA helga matos, more to come about it...



the concept here is to invert the way motors work, embedding magnets onto the gear and using the coil as a power conductor...


tea service


Hei !

i'm currently working on tea cups...part of platform 5 at the royal college of arts...

the principle is simple, it's an electric coil heated set of cups, with a special spoon container for herbs (the one on the left).

the point is to heat each cup individually (the coils are in colours), saving a great deal of energy overall.
The use of the ceramic tea leaves spoon container cuts down tea bag waste and encourages reuses for the other cups...

i'd love to have feedback on this...work in progress...





Poets of the fall - carnival of rust





here it goes one of my new discoveries...'poets of the fall' i'll try to stream in my favorite song:' sleep'...enjoy it

Pink Floyd - comfortably numb




Hello? Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again.
Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb.

O.K. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.



Why the hell did they split!...such a shame for such a brilliant band... :(

Kamelot - March of Mephisto


kamelot march of mephisto
Shagrath: ASPIRAT PRIMO FORTUNA LABORI ME DUCE TUTUS ERIS VOX POPULI VOX DEI AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM... AD INFINITUM

(The fortune is smiling at our first effort, let me lead you and you will be safe, the voice of people, voice of god for bigger glory of the god to the infinity.)
You know just who I am Don't be so distant Cause when you're lost I am solely there to share your grief
Wailing for your sorrow Is only my way to comfort you Reminders of innocent youth Waiting for morrow you're lonely I name your solitude I speaketh the truth

Now tell me all about your pain Down to the detail Don't say it's love Your fragile heart feeds my contempt
Wailing for your sorrow Is only my way to comfort you Reminders of innocent youth Waiting for morrow you're lonely I name your solitude I speaketh the truth
Chase the heathen call We belong... you and I Unison in all you deny
I am the thorn in your side That seeks accomplishment Reminding the mortal of death I am the spore of your pride An angel heaven sent The master of all I am the urge of the flesh
