Cardboard Headphones Make The Beat Drop Do they have noise cancellation? Nope. A bass boost mode? Definitely not. What about a 3.5mm jack to plug into an iPod? But you know what? “In this case the materials and set-up is super simple, but the sound and motion it is generating is kind of complex,” explains Zimoun team member Ulf Kallscheidt. These deceptively simple audio setups are a theme for Zimoun (both the studio and the artist that goes by the same name), which is known for building massive, concussive installations using everything from cotton ball drummers banging inside a fluid tank to IV bags dripping on sizzling-hot metal slabs. Zimoun installations activate space ad architecture to create complex sound space. Indeed, there’s something about the simple industrial design that allows us to enjoy the quirkiness of these humble cardboard headphones as much as we might a mega sonic installation.

Toy Stories | gabriele galimberti If Riverboom’s photographer Gabriele Galimberti had happened to shoot me, aged 6 and surrounded by my favorite toys, he would have seen the following: plastic medieval weaponry; assorted Lego (Space, Castle and Pirate); an inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex (punctured slowly into extinction); a Superman action figure (I lost it and hyperventilated with grief); a pair of cuddly rabbits (Sally and Billy); toy cars; a tiny guitar; a plane you launched with an elastic catapult; a replica pistol I thought my mum didn’t know about. Everyone remembers their childhood toys. The fact that I can recall how most of mine tasted better than I can remember the names of my primary school teachers says everything you need to know about the universe kids inhabit. But how they play can reveal a lot. Yet even children worlds apart share similarities when it comes to the function their toys serve. Ultimately, the toys on display reveal the hopes and ambitions of the people who bought them in the first place.
