Paper Folds

The Painful Death of the Paper Book is here.
As a lifelong reader I’ve been wary of digital books. I thought that the enjoyment of reading was somehow attached to the physicality paper. I was wrong.
Last month I downloaded the kindle app to my iPhone and bought my first e-book with single click. No more visiting bookstores, or waiting for the Amazon box to arrive. I had an immediate neurotransmitter rush. Instant satisfaction.
I imagined that books were different than music or movie files. I now recognize it’s part of the same system. 10 years ago nobody knew that you’d be carrying around your whole record collection in your pocket. Now I can have my library too.
Reading on a device has made me read twice as much as before. I can whip out my book while standing in line instead of playing backgammon. I can search. I can highlight without ruining my copy.
I’ve read 5 books in less than 30 days. I’m addicted!
I usually read in bed and actually prefer reading on iPhone’s minuscule screen than holding a heavy book while adjusting a book-light and flipping from one uncomfortable position to another.
I know what your thinking: Get a Kindle, or an iPad. No! I like the small form factor and the lightness.
In 10 years paper books will be like vinyl records: only for romantics and the hardcore. So jump on the bandwagon, and read more. I know I will.

Slanted and Enchanted
Architecture, nature, the human body, and the unexplained.
Machine becomes man.
We weave the software from the hardware.
The beginning and the end is the same place.
Nobody knows where we are.
This animation has kept me busy for the better part of a month. It was commissioned by a clothing store that has a gigantic 24 meter wide LED screen. (As soon as I get an Ok, I’ll tell where.) All 268 pictures where taken in Milan, on a bicycle, walking, or at my apartment.
The ambient music was made by me too! If you want it let me know and I’ll whip an mp3.
Don’t forget to watch it fullscreen and in HD!

Here’s my latest entry for Threadless…
A fish school composed of rejects that fish society has shunned.
Now, they ride the waves together creating multi-color havoc!

Gallop Stripes
As you may have already guessed, I’m bored.
I’ve now become a T-shirt designer.
I’m trying my luck to get a Threadless T printed. Hope it works out.
BTW, here’s the latest one: Gallop Stripes!

Pattern Process: There’s always only one outcome…
My shirt design is up for voting now.
Threadless has an ongoing Tshirt competition where the best designs get printed each week.
Their concept is pretty cool and I wish there was something similar in the furniture world…

3 ideas how LOST ends:
1. Hurley used his lottery money to build a fake world where unknowing participants are used for his entertainment/ and or experiments. The Losties feel everything is real, actually it’s just Hollywood effects + drugs to make them unconscious while they take them, from location to location.
2.We zoom out and see the producers of the show laughing at us. They were making it up as they went along, and now we are in on the joke. Extra points for the meta-ness of it.
3.The Losties are really in Vietnam fighting the war and have been sprayed with an LSD or a modified Agent Orange. Mass hallucination ensues.
What do you think? Any chance this can happen?
