L'art de peler les mandarines | DozoDomoDozoDomo Le Japon est très connu pour son art du papier plié, l'origami, mais un loisir récent (2010, en fait) pourrait le détrôner quelque temps : l'art de peler une mandarine (ou clémentine), en japonais : あたらしいみかんのむきかた. Pour vous donner une idée de ce à quoi ça ressemble, voici une très courte vidéo : Et hop, un cheval. Ce n'est pas aussi simple qu'il n'y parait, il faut savoir découper la peau du fruit sans couper la chair, et utiliser l'intégralité de la peau. Fascinant, n'est-ce pas ? Envie d'essayer ou d'occuper vos charmants bambins ? Il existe des livres pour apprendre cet art délicat : あたらしいみかんのむきかた, tomes 1 et 2, chez Shôgakukan, ainsi qu'un DVD. Notez que tout fruit ou légume à peau est susceptible d'être un support convenable, comme le prouve ceci : Mandarine, yuzu, melon, avocat... Alors, êtes-vous tentés par l'expérience ?

ALLISON ARIEFF - Opinionator The driverless car, like other utopian pursuits, seems always to be just out of reach. It’s captured the imagination of many for at least a century: in 1918, the Oakland Tribune reported (in a section I wish all newspapers would bring back called “New and Interesting Facts from Science and Life”) that “the new car will be all glass-enclosed and controlled entirely by a set of push buttons. It will have no clutch, gears or transmission, will sit low, have small clearance and punctureless tires.” The Oakland Tribune“The new car will be all glass — enclosed and controlled entirely by a set of push buttons. It’s striking that 1918’s Motor Car of the Future doesn’t look — or operate — all that different in concept from the 2013 one (or, for that matter, from the 1957 one, which was projected to run on electricity).

Zefrey Throwell's 'Sucked Up In The Devil's Bed' At Leopold-Hoesch Museum (PHOTOS) Human ashes and illegal powdered substances are not typically the go-to ingredients for works of art. At least not works that make it into reputable galleries. But in a new art exhibit at the Leopold-Hoesch Museum in Cologne, Germany, US-based artist Zefrey Throwell is exhibiting works that use cremated remains and methamphetamine as the primary media. Titled 'Sucked up in the Devil's Bed," the exhibit is dedicated to the artist's father's debilitating relationship with quite possibly the most horrific of drugs— meth. Zefrey Throwell, "Douglas Throwell #2, 56 Years Old ," 2012, 127cm x 96.5cm, human ash, methamphetamine, acrylic on paper. Throwell's father, a life-long drug addict, died tragically of a meth overdose six years ago at the age of 59. Throwell decided to create portraits of his dad over the years. Throwell also told Speigel Online that his exhibit is also part of a movement toward recognizing meth's growing influence in places outside of the United States. Loading Slideshow

Cinemagraphs I really enjoy the Cinemagraphs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg. At a first glance you might not even be aware of that something in the picture is moving, while everything else stands still. Though their pictures aim to capture the most delicate parts of life, fleeting moments of time, the beat of a city or the breath of a human. All images © Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg

Colossal | An art and design blog. Architecture News - World Architects + Buildings 8 Insights About The Coming Era Of Interactive Design It’s all moving so quickly. Just yesterday, we were amazed by the miracle of making calls from our cars. Now we’re furious when our 4G cuts out while streaming an HD video on a four-inch touch screen, just because we’re 50 feet underground riding the subway. Connecting is a short documentary by Bassett & Partners and Microsoft that explores how our lives (and our gadgets) have and will change in a more connected world. It’s 18 minutes long but very worth the time, as it features interviews with designers from Method, Twitter, Arduino, Frog, Stamen, Microsoft, and Nokia. As you watch, you’ll see a general consensus on a few really important points. Our phones demand too much attention, detracting from our real experiences. When you mix all of these ideas into a blender, you definitely spot some dichotomies--how can we pull our attention from our phones when the Internet is a superorganism of all mankind’s thought? But that doesn’t make any of the ideas wrong.

NOTCOT.ORG Chistopher Hawthorne, Architecture Critic 6:00 AM PDT, June 15, 2013 Le Corbusier as a force for nature? NEW YORK — It's easy to imagine that "Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes," a vast, dense and beautifully installed new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, began as a kind of parlor game. You can almost picture the curators, Jean-Louis Cohen and Barry Bergdoll, brainstorming to come up with the most unlikely, counterintuitive thesis about Le Corbusier they could — and then setting out to defend it with straight faces, deep scholarship and a good deal of museological firepower. 5:00 AM PDT, June 7, 2013 Sunnylands presidential summit spotlights estate's public mission Even when it was just an architectural glimmer in the eye of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, the desert estate where President Barack Obama will greet Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday was never in danger of being confused with a mere vacation house. 7:30 AM PDT, June 2, 2013 LACMA's future unfurls in Peter Zumthor's design 5:30 AM PDT, April 18, 2013
