Nokia 6600, 2005-2008
I decided to start a collection of my worn out pair of jeans showing the traces of mobile tech development in society.
… In “The Medium is the Massage“, McLuhan also rehashed the argument that media are “extensions” of our human senses, bodies and minds.

Sculptures
Good friend and workshop colleague Holger Lindmüller builds very beautiful furnitures from recycled material. Check out the details. Nice!
Actually I consider them as art.
Interested? I’m sure he would take orders.

Asia Interface Studies II
The traffic-light buttons in Singapore are great. ( Same in Australia?) A real nice big metal button you have to press to call for a green light. I hate the german move-your-hand-somewhere-here ‘buttons’. You are never sure if you made it …
Asia Interface Studies I
I did like the Metro ticket vending machines in Hong Kong a lot. Just point at the desired destination on the static interactive touch-board and the machine would charge you the right price. Very simple and clear. And a very helpfull kind of low tech . ;-)
Traffic Sign Art
( Although I still have some pics to blog from my Asia travel here comes a beautiful piece from german country side near Berlin. Found at station Rheinsberg an der Havel. )
