What an awesome mural! On a school no less, great for the kiddies. The sheer size of it, and amazing flag pants are what do it for me. Nice job Os Gemeos!

For Use/Numen
Really love the texture, look and site use/installation of this giant spiderweb/cocoon entirely made out of packing tape. Technically, I guess this is a design project of some sort? For me it is clearly an installation piece. Bonus points for it’s human scale and interaction/entry points.
More pictures and even a video at fast company. Also, surprisingly, Fast Company is a really good read, it’s on of my new favorite magazines.

A Mapless Map
This project is an interesting variation on the idea of making an image out of words only, here is a map that uses only the map labels for presentation. I like the way you can see oceans and seas via large voids on the macro level and long streets and boulevards on the micro one. Also reveals surprises in the way the labeling technology (google maps based) is implemented when changing zoom levels.

“You cannot tell art by virtue of medium, or function, or anything else except by the fact of its raising your consciousness to a degree that you are attentive. And so if something produces the state of attentiveness, whether it’s a drawing, or a guy making a cheese sandwich, we can call it art, at least by my description. I have no other criteria for judging what art is.”
