Meant as a response to how art ceases to exist if it is produced in mass quatities, The Shape project, as it is called, is artist Allan McCollum’s system of producing 31 billion unique graphic shapes – each one representing a single human being on this planet when the population growth peaks in 2050.

The ‘system’ used to create the pieces is a collection of shapes that can be combined and re-combined into several unique results. So far, Allan has created over 200 million versions of them and hopes to re-use them for creative experimentation for other design and art projects.

Nick Cave’s soundsuits are suit sculptures made from found and recycled objects that are named for the sounds made when they are worn.

The suits are Nick’s response to facing prejudice as a black male in America. As he explains, the suit is made of materials that have no value i.e. twigs and bottlecaps and thus represents his perceived view of how society sees the African American man.

And just like a quiltmaker who uses discarded clothing to reassemble into something from nothing, Cave takes wortheless materials and transforms them into valuable objects of beauty and spirit that transforms the personality of the wearer into something fantastic.

Bamn! is to Automat, as Casio is to Marc Jacob. What do i mean, I hear you ask? Well, remember the old casio watches of yester years? They were meant to be functional wrist machines that went away and came back later as kitschy retro fashion watches for licensed brands like Marc Jacobs and Paul Frank. Similarly, Bamn is a vending machine restaurant that takes a new-old concept and reincarnates in kitschy pink.

Design mavericks, Tjep were commissioned to re-design Radio 1’s lounge and they asked themselves: What does 1 do when designing the Radio 1 studio’s? Answer – 1 uses the 1, and they did, using it not only as a motif for the benches, but the radio and the lamp; and since the radio station had a diverse programming, they decided to combine a lot of different style elements rather than choose one dominant 1.
