No costume?

Be an architect.

The BIG CLOG

Time for another BIG work!

(pardon the pun)

From Clog Online:

ONLINE PRESS, BLOGS, TWEETS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND OTHER DIGITAL FORUMS HAVE DRASTICALLY INCREASED THE SPEED AT WHICH ARCHITECTURAL IMAGERY IS DISTRIBUTED AND CONSUMED TODAY. 

WHILE AN UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF WORK IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, THE LIFESPAN OF ANY SINGLE DESIGN OR TOPIC HAS BEEN REDUCED IN THE PROFESSION'S COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS TO A WEEK, AN AFTERNOON, A SINGLE POST - AN ENDLESSLY CHANGING ARCHITECTURE DU JOUR.

IN THE DELUGE, EXCELLENT PROJECTS RECEIVE THE SAME FLEETING ATTENTION AS MEDIOCRE ONES. MEANWHILE, MERE EXPOSURE HAS TAKEN THE PLACE OF THOUGHTFUL ENGAGEMENT, NOT TO MENTION A SUBSTANTIAL DISCUSSION.

CLOG SLOWS THINGS DOWN.

EACH ISSUE EXPLORES, FROM MULTIPLE VIEWPOINTS AND THROUGH A VARIETY OF MEANS, A SINGLE SUBJECT PARTICULARLY RELEVANT TO ARCHITECTURE NOW. SUCCINCTLY, ON PAPER, AWAY FROM THE DISTRACTIONS AND IMPERATIVES OF THE SCREEN.

Kinda looks like a Harry Potter charm or something, floating in mid-air...

Cool, yes?

Immaterials: Light painting WiFi from Timo on Vimeo.

Everywhere we go, invisible Wi-Fi signals permeate the landscape. Using a four-meter rod of lights and long-exposure photography, a group of Norwegians brought those unseen forces to life.

Affiliates of YOUrban, a research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, designed the rod with dozens of small bulbs that flash depending on the strength of the Wi-Fi signal at any particular spot. As the lights travel through the city, a hidden picture of airborne information reveals itself, like technological ghosts in the night.
