Out Of Print
Fun project creates computer-generated random headlines scrambled from news feeds which are then printed with traditional techniques and sent via Twitter:
The invention of the printing press is the finest example of how a shift in technology can change the way we communicate. In the 21st century, digital technology has become the defining force shaping society; changing the way we live, interact and consume information.
With the growth of digital media we are now faced with unprecedented levels of data. We find ourselves at a saturation point. By attempting to consume ever more, we end up understanding less. How do we make sense of all the information we consume and not get lost in the process? Through the use of traditional printing techniques we explore this question.
By using live online news feeds we are building a digital application that generates seemingly random headlines; these will then be printed using a custom-built letterpress. The prints will form a growing collection exhibited as part of the installation.

“What many take for granted, millions of others have no or limited access to. The Life Sack is an innovative idea that could give clean drinking water to people in underdeveloped regions of the world.
Life Sack is an idea for a new water purifier kit by Korean industrial designers Jung Uk Park, Myeong Hoon Lee and Dae Youl Lee.
The Life Sack repurposes grain sacks as water purifier kits. Contaminated water is filtered using SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection Process), which involves a combination of UV-A radiation and thermal treatment to kill the harmful micro-organisms and bacteria found in the water.”

Sennheiser Eco-Vinyl Turntable
[designed by Matthew Lim]
This audio product is made from cost-effective materials (recyclable and biodegradable) without sacrificing its performance and hardware quality. It provides a balance between cost and quality.
A sweeping concept for a product that could breathe new life into vinyl. Designed to be portable, but functionally intended to bring high-quality audio. This is beautiful. Courtesy of theantidote.

Break soap is a concept by Dave Hakkens that involves a large block of soap with removable “self-serve” wedges that can be snapped off for individual use without having to touching a bar that’s been handled by somebody else.
