Time Lapse Video in Death Valley by Gavin Heffernan

This stunning video captures in Death Valley National Park features floating stones of Racetrack Playa, and a hot-pink aurora uncommon at such a low latitude.

Heffernan says:
“This time our timelapse adventure took place at the infamous sliding stones of Racetrack Playa Lakebed in Death Valley, where we got lots of cool shots of the stones themselves, as well as some epic starscape stuff — including a desert aurora, crazy star trails, and an awesome milky way pass. The initial intention was for this all to be done in one shoot with the Dunes of Part 1 — but time restrictions and work etc. caused us to split up the shoots — and so we visited the Racetrack on March 17-19th 2013 to film this second installment. ”

Flying Stick for Valeo at Mondial de l’ Automobile 2012 in Paris

This year, automotive supplier Valeo wanted to highlight its eco responsable behaviour in its Parisian stand at Worldwide Autoshow. For that matter, Valeo missioned Auditoire agency to build it and comissioned Atelier GH to create an original piece of art for this very occasion.

Atelier GH decided to put Valeo’s environmental and technical expertise at the heart of its proposal. The results is a naturalistic allegory of its technologies.
This biomimetic logic inspired Atelier GH a picture: technical object vocabulary that draw a vegetation driven by natural phenomenon: an enlighted field in movement suspended to the ceiling.This techno poetic ecosystem comes to life through an object: ‘the Flying Stick’, a 2.50m strand suspendend at 2.60 m high, fitted with a propeller, a fogger, LEDs and a laser. All its characteristics inspires a feeling of nature: wind, light, water and movement.

On Valeo’ stand 60 Flyings Sticks draw a mechanical choreography. This animatic piece of art is a visual and sensory experience that puts visitors in the middle of a technical nature’s metaphor.

This project was a technical challenge for us. From chosen materials to electronic programming and software development, the hole disposal was conducted as a research and development unit.

Paper Sculptures by Irving Harper


Irving Harper is this week’s featured designer in the Herman Miller Why Design series. The film is a rare opportunity to feature one of the most prolific designers who helped shape American Modernism. As design director for the Nelson Office, Irving Harper was responsible for some of the most compelling and iconic designs of the twentieth century—from the Marshmallow sofa, to the Ball clock, to the Herman Miller logo itself. While working on the Chrysler Pavilion for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, he began making paper sculptures in his off hours to relieve stress. Some 50 years and roughly 500 pieces later, almost every surface of his Rye, New York home is besieged by evidence of his remarkable skill and creativity.

Peter Brings the Shadow to Life

Watch this very poetic video by skater Joe Pease made only with his shadow. The title is a reference to Peter Pan.

“It is not uncommon for children to play with their shadows or to imagine that they are tangible. However, in order to grow up, children must leave behind this fantasy…no one ever fully grows up. Instead, growing up is a process that continues throughout life.”

‘Welcome to the Anthropocene’ Earth Animation by Globaïa

This is the animation done by Globaïa for the short film ‘Welcome to the Anthropocene’ commissionned for the Planet Under Pressure conference.You will see all the Roads, air and ship routes On the Entire Planet. Watch it, it’s breath taking!

Within a human lifetime, the face of Earth has been transformed. Cities now dominate the landscape, and even if people disappeared tomorrow, cities would remain one of the Anthropocene’s most visible and enduring legacies.
In 1950, only 29% of people lived in cities. Today more than half do, and that proportion is expected to reach 70% by 2050. In 2008, the global urban population exceeded the number of people dwelling in the country for the first time in history. By 2025, there will be about 600 cities of a million people or more.
Recently, urban growth has shifted from Europe and South America to Asia and Africa. Asia’s urban population is growing faster than that anywhere else. It passed the billion mark in 1990, and is expected to reach 3.4 billion by 2025. In the next couple of decades, more than 275 million people are projected to move into India’s enormous city centres. In Africa, meanwhile, only 40% live in cities, but this is changing fast.
Historically, cities had to be sited near water and fertile land. Today, global distribution networks mean they can spring up all over the world, even where there are few natural resources.
This frenetic urban growth is a big cause of environmental change. It drives loss of agricultural land, changes in temperature and the loss of biodiversity. Cities consume two-thirds of the world’s total energy and account for more than 70% of all energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. But people living in cities often have low carbon emissions because of efficient public transport systems and the fact that people often live closer to their work.

Jacob Sutton’s L.E.D. Surfer Jacob Sutton’s L.E.D. Surfer

Photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton shot this awesome video of pro snowboarder William Hughes riding the slopes of Tignes in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France wearing a suit made by John Spatcher.

Sutton, who has created work for the likes of Hermès, Burberry and The New York Times, spent three nights on a skidoo with his trusty Red Epic camera at temperatures of -25C to snap Hughes carving effortlessly through the deep snow, even enlisting his own father to help maintain the temperamental suit throughout the demanding shoot. “Filming in the suit was the most surreal thing I’ve done in 20 years of snowboarding,” says Hughes of the charged salopettes. “Luckily there was plenty of vin rouge to keep me warm, and Jacob’s enthusiasm kept everyone going through the cold nights.”
