If I was in London, I’d absolutely be checking out the Dieter Rams “Less and More” exhibition at the Design Museum. If you don’t know who Dieter is, he was the director at the German electronics company Braun for 30+ years. No question he was a visionary.

MOMO, the artist responsible for one of the newest (and certainly brightest) Y3 shoe collaborations has just released this short film: He did a video of the 5 art shapes, which are included in the shoe box and came up with 3520 different art hanging possibilities. He documented them all in stop motion + also made a poster out of it. the video is pretty amazing.

Delaunay

Absolutely beautiful images based on something called Delaunay triangulations, which maximize the minimum angle of all the angles of the triangles in the triangulation; they tend to avoid skinny triangles.

Give him some recycled cardboard, paper bag, along with some glue and acrylic paint, and artist Mike Leavitt could create just about anything, including the replica sneakers above.


You can pop by the Fuse Gallery at 93 Second Avenue in NYC to see them.

Via Arrested Motion (with an interview with Mike there as well)… Hat Tip to Amber!
