In my mind I see it as an artist creating a jigsaw puzzle in their head without the photo on the box to guide them. One such master is Nancy McCabe, a surface designer from Chicago who runs No Ocean, a design studio that specializes in surface designs and prints. She sells her patterns for commercial uses such as fashion, home/interior, print and web design, as well as a beautiful series of graphic scarves. For Nancy’s wallpaper we decided to go with her Ink Dots pattern. 1280×800 • 1440×900 • 1680×1050 • 1920×1200 • 2560×1440 • 3840×2400 • iPhone 5 • iPhone 6 • iPhone 6+ • iPad It’s always fun visiting with old friends. 1280×800 • 1440×900 • 1680×1050 • 1920×1200 • 2560×1440 • 3840×2400 • iPhone 5 • iPhone 6 • iPhone 6+ • iPad I feel you Emory.

Fait Main Magazine Openmoko Welcome to Cogprints - Cogprints Every Day of My Life Apps Every Day of My Life is a visualization of my computer usage statistics from the last 2.5 years. Each line represents one day and each colorful block is the most foreground app running at the given moment. Black areas are periods when my computer is not turned on. Seeping patterns (or lack of them) and time of holidays and travel (longer gaps) can be therefore easily identified. All data was gathered using Tapper - a small OSX app logging my application usage written by Dean McNamee. The project was presented as prints at Click festival in Helsingør at the beginning of May in 2012.

Moche ? | FLUOGLACIAL « Si la laideur, comme la beauté, est sans âge, la mocheté, elle, est sans doute davan­tage datée. Du moins, le mot “moche” apparaît-il tar­di­ve­ment — en 1878 exacte­ment selon le dic­tio­n­naire. Autrement dit, à l’époque, à peu près, où l’économie de marché com­mence à éten­dre son emprise sur toutes les dimen­sions de l’existence. D’où cette hypothèse: la nou­velle nuance de l’idée de laideur intro­duite par le mot ‘moche’ ne serait pas sans rap­port avec l’émergence d’une société nou­velle, liée à la grande indus­trie et aux pro­duits et modes de vie (et de mis­ère) qu’en aval elle sus­cite. La grande ville par exem­ple, si elle est bien le lieu où peut sur­gir une beauté nou­velle, est aussi celui de la mocheté. Car soumise, du fait de l’exode rural, à la pres­sion de mil­liers de vies tou­jours plus amochées, elle voit ses formes anci­ennes s’enlaidir de ban­lieues informes. L’affaire, on le devine, n’est pas seule­ment esthé­tique (ni même éthique).
