Smart People Will Pay Attention to This.

The Airago is the brainchild of Studio HiMom founded by designers Krijn Christiaansen & Jeroen Bruls. They aim to design products 'dedicated to public space phenomena'. You can lock your bike to the rack and/or pump your tyres with the shiny pump.

The goal with the Airago was to 'stimulate an interaction between neighbours while pumping up the tyres of their bicycles'. It was concieved as an art project in a newly-built neighbourhood in the Netherlands, Ypenburg.

Pasqualina Azzarello

This is some street art that I caught on a recent work/scouting trip in New York. This is a piece by Pasqualina Azzarello on East 12th Street in front of an old church that is being torn down to make room for a 26-story NYU dorm. I was lucky enough to catch the website in one of my photos and highly recommend checking it out. The artwork is beautiful. Seeing this work was one of the most exciting things during my whole trip. There are loads of images on the website.




Also included on the contact page is a quote from John Steinbeck, East of Eden. Somehow the quote seems particularly meaningful right now.

"And this I believe: that the free, individual mind of the exploring human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual."
