QR Codes for Digital Nomads 2011 | Golan Levin and Asa Foster III, for F.A.T. Lab ABSTRACT:QR Codes for Digital Nomads: QR_STENCILER and QR_HOBO_CODES are homebrew "infoviz graffiti" tools, intended for civic markup and in-situ information display. QR_STENCILER is a free, open-source, fully automated software utility that converts QR codes into vector-based stencil patterns suitable for laser cutting. The QR_STENCILER software was used to create the QR_HOBO_CODES, a collection of 100 stencil designs which, deployed in urban spaces, may be used to warn people about danger or clue them into good situations. Inspired by 19th Century "hobo symbols", these stencils can be understood as a covert markup scheme for urban spaces — providing directions, information, and warnings to digital nomads and other indigenterati. QR_STENCILER and QR_HOBO_CODES, a F.A.T. QR Hobo Code stencil in use. Closeup of a QR code lasercut in 1/8"-thick fiberboard. Examples of 19th- and 20th-Century "hobo signs". QR_STENCILER features.

abril | 2009 | ser-urbano | Página: 2 Dia de Tiradentes (21/04) Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, o Tiradentes, nasceu em Minas Gerais, em 1746. Aos nove 9 anos ficou órfão de mãe; aos 11, órfão de pai. Bem cedo começou a trabalhar como vendedor ambulante; mais tarde, tornou-se dentista – daí seu apelido -, depois ingressou na carreira militar e chegou ao posto de alferes (hoje segundo tenente). Naquela época, as forças opressoras dos colonizadores privilegiavam pessoas de origem portuguesa em detrimento dos brasileiros natos, que eram obrigados a pagar altos impostos. Um grupo de intelectuais se uniu então, em prol do fim da derrama e em favor da independência do Brasil; entre eles, estava Tiradentes. Um de seus companheiros, Joaquim Silvério dos Reis, denunciou o grupo; todos foram presos. Aos 21 de abril de 1792, Tiradentes foi enforcado no Rio de Janeiro, sob a acusação de alta traição. fonte: ilhado

Base de données internationale du patrimoine du génie civil How to become internet famous for $68 - Quartz Santiago Swallow may be one of the most famous people no one has heard of. His eyes fume from his Twitter profile: he is Hollywood-handsome with high cheekbones and dirty blond, collar-length hair. Next to his name is one of social media’s most prized possessions, Twitter’s blue “verified account” checkmark. Beneath it are numbers to make many in the online world jealous: Santiago Swallow has tens of thousands of followers. The tweets Swallow sends them are cryptic nuggets of wisdom that unroll like scrolls from digital fortune cookies: “Before you lose weight, find hope,” says one. Another: “To write is to live endlessly.” Swallow is a pure product of the Internet: a “speaker and thinker,” who specializes in “re-imagining self in the online age,” an apparent star of the prestigious TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference, and a hit at Austin’s annual art, technology and music event, South By South West (SXSW). This is what Santiago Swallow’s Twitter feed looked like.

Home - Africa vernacular architecture les éditions volumiques Revit-MBA Mark Lombardi and the Ecstasy of Conspiracy Detail, Mark Lombardi, George W. Bush, Harken Energy, and Jackson Stephens, ca. 1979-90 (5th version) , 1999 With the 40th anniversary of the assassination of JFK freshly behind us, our abiding romance with conspiracy theories seems more ardent than ever. And one of the most remarkable expressions of that romance is on view at The Drawing Center in New York, "Global Networks," an exhibition of the work of Mark Lombardi. In an age where we all dimly sense that The Truth Is Out There, Lombardi's extraordinary drawings aim to provide all the answers. Although Lombardi's work has combined the mesmerizing detail of the engineering diagram and the obsessive annotation of the outsider artist, the man was neither scientist nor madman. The resulting body of work must be seen to be believed — an admittedly oxymoronic endorsement of subject matter of such supreme skepticism.

Project The fifth studio Francois Roche has been tutoring at Columbia University since 2006 recently presented its last projects. One of them drove an interesting conversation between the jury and its authors, Brian Buckner & Loukia Tsafoulia. For this year's studio, Francois Roche was assisted by Ezio Blasetti and Dave Pigram For the second year, this studio was experimenting processes of life and death of an architecture; in this regard, Sadic Apiaries is a system composed by two robots and thousand of bees. The first robot is used as a mobile matrix for the bees to build the hives architecture, while the second robot exercises a sadistic role on the bees via smoke throw in order to orient the construction.With time, the wax loose of its consistency (and color) and eventually disintegrates, thus triggering the death of this architecture. The following text is Brian and Loukia's interpretation of their project:Can we orient production of the nature to produce architecture?
