Wicker Building

The Shanghai Expo is underway nearing its inauguration on May 1. These photos were just released, by photographer Iñigo Bujedo Aguirre, of Miralles Tagliabue's Spanish Pavilion — a steel structure with an undulating facade of handcrafted wicker.

Oversteps

For electronic music nerds, like me, a new album from Autechre is always something of an event. And with the latest "Oversteps", there's been quite a bit of hubbub. For nearly 20 years, this duo has created some of the most challenging and influential electronic music. Their generative and algorithmic music continues to border on chaos and beauty. And when they occasionally err on that of beauty, as they have done with Oversteps, it's nothing short of epic. That is, for us nerds.

Four Letter Words

Four Letter Words is an installation by Rob Seward consisting of fluorescent lights that forms generated word sequences. Although advanced in programming and conceptual thought, there's something inherently "low-tech" that I like about this.

Things To Learn

This is a fantastic animation of Christian Borstlap's wonderful stamp illustrations for Dutch children's charity, Kinderpostzegels. The playfulness and simplicity is just utterly charming.

Kranked
