We are in a state of perpetual war - with ourselves and with the eco-system that sustains us.  Perpetual war breeds perpetual fear.  In the present context, this fear stems from our extreme desire for authenticity and manifests itself in our insatiable culture of consumption.


Deep down, we are afraid we may never be satisfied.  An expanding archive of branded myths and icons feeds this fear.  Designer Gas Masks is an attempt to visualize this state of mind.  Because it is only by first acknowledging and then challenging fear that we will be able to breathe a little easier.

Movers and Shakers

I remember when, I remember
I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space

And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

And I hope that you are
Having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice

Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember
Is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little
It looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

By the Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa. 
 
Naoto Fukasawa also offers strawberry, kiwi, and “silken tofu” (for a 
carton of soy milk) “juice skins”. 
 
The real genius would be if he made it eco-friendly.

Blast From The Past

Man Ray, Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924
 
Before there was photoshop, there was Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky).
 
Man Ray was an admirer of the paintings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique
Ingres and made a series of photographs, inspired by Ingres's
languorous nudes, of the model Kiki in a turban. Painting the f-holes
of a stringed instrument onto the photographic print and then
rephotographing the print, Man Ray altered what was originally a
classical nude. He also added the title Le Violon d'Ingres, a French
idiom that means "hobby." The transformation of Kiki's body into a
musical instrument with the crude addition of a few brushstrokes makes
this a humorous image, but her armless form is also disturbing to
contemplate. The title seems to suggest that, while playing the violin
was Ingres's hobby, toying with Kiki was a pastime of Man Ray. The
picture maintains a tension between objectification and appreciation
of the female form.

Movers and Shakers


 
Here's to the crazy ones...

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones...we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world...

are the ones who do.
