Illuminati Rucksack

Kunst-Rucksack von einem Mann mit dem sensationellen Namen Hardy Blechmann, das Teil nennt sich Voodoo Doll: „US Army Marpat (Marine Pattern Camouflage) Rucksack Recycled to Pyramid“. Kostet auch nur 3000 Dollar.

We are concerned with the mystery of the creative act. Not the inexplicable ’spark’, aka inspiration, but the fire; the non-doing before the doing, the summoning up of elemental spirits from within, or without, during the preparation of some visual or musical work, some theory or idea. This welling-up or ‘possession’, this ‘fever in the heart of man’, this spirit, this spell, might sometimes be referred to as Voodoo.

Cuisine with Marijuana and Magic Truffles

 Youtube Direktmagic, danke Philip!

Das hier ist zwar Werbung und das auch noch für ein Modelabel, aber wenn beides mit einem Kochbuch inklusive Koch-Videos und Rezepten zu solchen Sachen wie Marijuana Ravioli, Hashish Capuccino oder Kalbfleisch mit Magic Truffles und Zutaten wie Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (angeblich ähnlich wie LSD) oder Blue Lotus Extract daherkommt, dann muss ich ja wohl.

Auf Baked von Freshcotton gibt’s drei Kochclips mit Sternekoch Misha Sukyas sowie ein Drogen-Kochbuch als PDF (Pay for Tweet, man kann aber auch einfach diesen Link hier klicken), oben das Video zu „Savoury Cappuccino of Bali Kratom, Hashish & Baby Woodrose with Foie Gras Marijuana Lollipops coated in Magic Truffles.“

“It’s haute cuisine, Amsterdam style: using every street-legal drug you can imagine. From well-known marijuana to more esoteric buzzes,” explains Rickard Engstrom , who (with his creative partner Joris Kang ‘eri) was responsible for the idea. “Chef Misha will show you how to make truly mind-blowing, beautiful food,” says Jesse Smit , CEO of FreshCotton. “And in return for a Tweet you can download a recipe book for your tablet or to print.”

The project showcases a selection of Amsterdam talent working together– the films were directed by Doug Hancock through Darlings Amsterdam; the digital execution was done by highly-regarded interactive studio Cartelle; and the music was provided by Full Crate, a producer who fuses hip-hop and soul with a futuristic sound design. Neil Henry , of Arnold Amsterdam produced the campaign.

Weitere Rezepte aus dem Kochbuch: „Marijuana chicken rolls with Hashish quenelles and a Marijuana coulis“, „A raspberry-Marijuana bombe coated in Hashish chocolate with Morning Glory and Magic Truffles“ oder „Foie gras Marijuana lollipops coated in Magic Truffles, almonds and pistachio nuts“. MARIJUANA LOLLIPOPS! ZOMG! Ich glaube, die Agentur hinter dieser Aktion liest mein Blog.

Die anderen beiden Videos zu „Morning Glory Ravioli with Coquilles, Damiana & Marijuana“ und „veal in a Salvia Divinorum Crut with Magic Truffels and Marijuana“ nach dem Klick: Gib mir den Rest, Baby…

Free Pussy Riot Lingerie-Commercial

 Youtube Direktpussy

Zum Jahrestag von Pussy Riots Punk Prayer in der Chirst-Erlöser-Kirche in Moskau, was zur Verhaftung der feministischen Punk-Aktivistinnen führte, schickt ein Berliner Unterwäsche-Label eins seiner Models mit Balaclava in Moskau halbnackt bei –15°C auf die Straße. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob tatsächlicher Protest als Werbeform neu ist, ob der Protest wirklich legitim ist, obwohl die Fashionindustrie sich bereits während der Prozesse für die Damen einsetzte und wie Sexy-Unterwäsche-Protest für die Freilassung durchaus radikaler Feministinnen passen soll. Was das Ding ja wegen all dieser Fragen durchaus interessant macht.

While it legitimately promotes the freepussyriot.org fundraising site to help the women, it is also promoting a product using a woman’s sexuality as the bait: „On the first anniversary of the Pussy Riot concert in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Berlin based Lingerie label blush supports the free pussy riot movement with a sexy protest march through icy Moscow (-15° C). Support Freepussyriot.org!“

This is no Femen action, in which women’s bodies become weapons of protest. It is a commercial for sexy underwear that pays for its appropriation of a radical feminist cause by directing people to that cause. Is this irony?

“Free Pussy Riot” lingerie campaign: Appropriate, or appropriation?

Google presents the Annoying Shoe

shoe Youtube Direktshoe, via Designboom

Google hat auf dem SXSW-Festival einen sprechenden nervenden Schuh vorgestellt. Oder wie’s ein YT-Kommentator formuliert: „Forever alone.“

shoe2Using an accelerometer, a gyroscope, Bluetooth and some other off the shelf technologies, the Talking Shoe translates the wearer’s movements into funny, motivating and timely commentary. The things it says can be posted to Google+ by the user, sent to real-time ad units, if the user chooses to, and broadcast via onboard speakers. It can talk to the world and to the web.

Every move the user makes generates data that’s captured using an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensors. That data then gets pushed to a web app on your mobile phone and translated in real-time into funny and motivating commentary. That commentary then gets pushed to banners and social media, creating new, interesting content in the digital world from something happening live in the physical one.

THE TALKING SHOE

Jesus™

Eine italienische Jeansfirma hat sich das Wort Jesus schützen lassen und geht jetzt gegen Modefirmen vor, die ebenfalls Klamotten mit Heiland machen wollen. Holy Shit!

In a branding coup of biblical proportions, an Italian jeans maker persuaded the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2007 to register the word “Jesus” as a trademark, giving the company exclusive rights in America to sell clothing bearing the name of Christianity’s central figure.

Since then, the owner of the trademark, Jesus Jeans, has clamped down on Jesus-themed apparel, pitting its litigators against more than a dozen other startup clothing lines it claims appropriated “Jesus” without the company’s blessing. The company doesn’t have a trademark on images of Jesus, just the word.

If You Take These Jeans’ Name in Vain, Prepare to Meet Their Maker

Black Lodge Hat is a Twin Peaks-Bommelmütze

Von den Leuten, die neulich erst die Shining-Bommelmütze am Start hatten: Eine Twin Peaks-Bommelmütze. WANT!

Well, as we are now in the fifth year of the cult Weir hat our creative juices keep on flowing, this year sees two special editions inspired by two of Hollywood’s great cults. David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is the inspiration behind this one. Based on the extradimensional ‘Red Room’ from the cult TV series and accompanying film Fire Walk With Me.

We’re proud to present the Black Lodge hat.

Dogwool

Erwan Fichou hat eine Fotoserie über Leute am Start, die Woll-Klamotten aus dem Haar ihrer Hunde anhaben. People are strange.

It takes about seven years to gather enough dog hair for a sweater. First of all, you can’t just pull the fur out out! That’s inhumane, plus it’s cheating. You just have to brush your dog regularly and save what comes off. Then you mail your precious collection of Rover fur to Doumé and she will return it to you in a 50-gram ball of dog wool.

High Heels with 500 Teeth

Das Designstudio Fantich & Young hat seine Zahntreter jetzt auch für Damen gefertigt: High Heels mit 500 Zähnen.

The shoes soles are decked out with over 500 denture teeth and remind one of Meret Oppenheim Objects in their subversive skewered surrealism. The shoes were chosen for their style and reflect aspects of the political philosophy (“survival of the fittest”) of Herbert Spencer’s Social Darwinism.

The Shining-Hat is a Overlook Hotel-Bommelmütze

Eine Bommelmütze mit dem Musters des Teppichs aus dem Overlook Hotel. Eine Bommelmütze mit dem Musters des Teppichs aus dem Overlook Hotel! Limitiert für 30 Pfund, hier bei Casual Co. Das Teil gehört sowas von mir.

This is one of a kind, if you don’t know what this is or represents then, well, you shouldn’t have to ask. But if you must; it’s that horrendous, garish carpet from the Overlook Hotel, from the chilling cult Stanley Kubrick movie The Shining. Come and play with us, forever and ever and ever…
