Tape Recorders
via vimeo.com How much time does someone spend looking at a piece of art? Artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer measures the attention span of visitors with Kinect-powered tape measurers. The longer the visitor stays in front of the installation, the measuring tape starts to project upwards until it crashes and recoils back. Great concept!

Five boroughs
via designsponge.com After spending a month in New York last May, I often feel like I left a piece of my heart there. While these pillows aren’t a substitute for that bustling city, I sure would love to have a colourful, cozy friend to curl up with on the couch. Posted via email from deliciousness | Comment »

Happy New Year
I hope you all had a good New Year’s Eve! I brought in the New Year all tucked into my bed, but not before I created a big Post-it note wall of wishes and goals for 2012. Can’t wait for another year of adventures.

Maira Kalman's Illustrations
via youtube.com Maira Kalman provides great insight into her illustrations for Michael Pollan’s book “Food Rules”. My favorite part is when she says a fantastic date would be the grocery store on a Saturday night. I’ve often thought the same thing as well. Posted via email from deliciousness | Comment »
Calligraphy necklaces
via store.brevitydesign.com I’m envious of Brevity Design’s beautiful calligraphy necklaces. Each custom necklace is hand lettered by calligrapher Crystal Kluge, and then etched into stainless steel. I’m not the type to wear my name on a necklace, but one with such beautiful letters might change my mind. Posted via email from deliciousness | Comment »

mongolia!
via vimeo.com Vanessa Hollander and Wilson Philippe embarked on a ten-day motorcycle tour in Mongolia and brought along their Fuji Instax Mini camera. Many Mongolian nomads have never seen a physical photo of themselves and the reaction is so heartwarming. It’s hard not to have a lump in your throat watching this short video.
