Photo © HEYHEYHEY V.O.W N°26 (27 June - 3 July 2011) We think of innovation and invention as highly engineered, complex systems that are built by some mad scientist in a remote space. The process results in long and layered equations, drawings and an endless source of references illustrated in a step by step process to further explain the construction of the device or machine. We have familiarized ourselves with this elaborate system through Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, even the coyote as he tries to invent ways to capture the road runner. For this week's VOW, we have brought you one of those diagrams to life. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist.

Created by studio HEYHEYHEY for the 2010 Dutch Design Week, Melvin was featured for 10 days at the MU artspace where 14,000 people came to see it perform.

Canadian artist and designer Tobias Wong died last year at the young age of 35, or more specifically, 13,138 days. In tribute, his friend Frederick McSwain created this immense portrait of Wong entitled Die using 13,138 dice as part of the BrokenOff BrokenOff exhibition at Gallery R’Pure in NYC in memoriam to the artist during NY Design Week.

McSwain via Core77: The idea of a die itself was appropriate—the randomness of life. It felt like [a medium] he would use. The dice were first meticulously organized into individual sheets of 361 pieces and then laid to rest free on the floor without adhesive. Online | 10,000-Brick Lego Sandcrawler.
