Dzmitry Samal – Pixelized Glasses Collection

Posted: 20 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT

Dzmitry Samal   Pixelized Glasses CollectionDesigners are a funny bunch, where most would not stay in their supposed profession for too long. This is the case with Paris-based designer Dzmitry Samal, who started out designing for automobile manufacturers – such as Stile Bertone and Renault – only to divert his attention into fashion and product design. Samal developed his own eyewear line to take advantage of the French manufacturing, and each pair is hand crafted out of factories in France. These pixelized frames combine vintage aesthetics with retro-futuristic style, resulting in a truly one of a kind pair of glasses. All of the below glasses can be purchased directly from his online shop.

W Base x How I Roll   Kick It 26 inch BMX | VideoTokyo’s premier BMX and fixed gear bicycle store W-Base have produced their version of the How I Roll 26 inch BMX cruiser entitled Kick It.

The Berrics x HAROSHI – Making of BATB V Trophy | Video

Posted: 20 Jun 2012 03:00 AM PDT

The Berrics x HAROSHI   Making of BATB V Trophy | VideoJapanese sculptor and artist HAROSHI seems to be non-stop these days, as we find another video of him working his magic with used skateboards. This time it is for The Berrics, a private skatepark of professional skateboarders Eric Koston and Steve Berra, and their annual Battle At The Berrics competition. In its fifth installment this year, the Game of Skate competition, otherwise affectionately known as BATB V, has already finished, and they commissioned HAROSHI to produce the winner’s trophy. There is an interesting twist to this piece as well, as the defeated competitors from last year's BATB IV donated their old skateboard decks for this trophy. Check out the video below to watch how the trophy is made from scratch.

Keith Haring x OBEY   Capsule Collection | Preview

Shepard Fairey is paying tribute to a pioneering force in street art through an upcoming capsule collection between OBEY and the Keith Haring Foundation.

OBEY men’s designer Mike Ternosky recognizes Haring as an originator who used clothes to spread his message, something that the guys at OBEY wanted to continue with this collaborative project, while exposing the artist to a new audience.

NICT Daedalus Cyber-Attack Alert System – 3D Graphic of Illegal Internet Breach in Real-Time | Video

Posted: 19 Jun 2012 09:30 PM PDT

NICT Daedalus Cyber Attack Alert System   3D Graphic of Illegal Internet Breach in Real Time | Video

Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has developed Daedalus, a cyber-attack alert system that renders attacks on networks in real time. It does so in artful fashion, through a 3D visualization system that looks like it came from the anime film Ghost in the Shell. The large blue sphere in the middle represents the Internet, while the circles orbiting around it are networks under observation. Daedalus monitors how data flows through the network and checks for inconsistencies. If an attack is sensed, an alert goes off, and users can track and visualize the attack through any angle. Check out a video demonstration below. via: DigInfo TV

CordLite   Illuminated Charger Cable for Apple iOS Devices | By Scrap Pile Labs

Every night when you’re heading to bed — already feeling a bit groggy and uncoordinated — the last thing you want to do is take a few stabs in the dark in an attempt to plug in your Apple iPhone, iPad or other iOS devices. It’s not that easy of a task. Now, thanks to CordLite, things are about to get a lot simpler because this isn’t your standard 30-pin third-party cable and as soon as you pick one up you’ll notice why: the dock connector has two front-facing LEDs that are activated by touching any part of its surface giving you the right amount of light to get the job done the first time, every time. If the group behind the project, Scrap Pile Labs, reaches their goal on KICKSTARTER in the next seven days then these things will hit retail stores by the end of the year. Check it out in more detail after the jump and head to KICKSTARTER to throw in your hat. via Engadget

The Dark Knight Rises x Chrysler   Imported from Gotham City Commercial | Video

Ahead of the July 20th release of The Dark Knight Rises, the Chrysler 300 gets a makeover fit for a caped crusader as part of an advertising campaign that sees Chrysler partnering with Warner Bros. Entitled “Imported from Gotham City,” the Stacy Wall-directed television commercial was designed and shot to look like a set piece from Gotham, featuring a team of elite mechanics transforming a Chrysler 300 into a special “Dark Knight Rises” edition. A quick pan showing off the aggressive matte black exterior — along with a shot of the “DK-300S” Gotham City license plate — ends with the vehicle roaring off into the night. The extended 60-second spot can be viewed below. (It has its network TV premier tonight on NBC.)
