Potentially the most brilliant design (/fusion/food/art/omgican’tbelievei’mnotthere) project of the season. I’m not sure who are the creative geniuses behind it but it was held at Monkey Town — which started out as a seasonal dining and performance art space.

I might have missed out on that certain table reservation many are dead envious about but ferran adria is not likely to retire anytime soon. Not being in New York however for this one kicks me hard on the arse.

Read that they are staging it again, this time on my homeground - Singapore.

Again, I wouldn’t be around for it.
Come to London guys, this way please!!

An article I found in the Contemporary Museum of Tehran, Iran.

“To the stolen generations, I say the following: As prime minister of Australia, I am sorry.”
–Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to Australia’s indigenous peoples.

A friend and I were just talking about how a new generation has emerged, one that acknowledges - of which the next logical step is to act upon it. Amen.

Spotted in the town of Inakadate in Aomori, claimed to be the works of the local farmers there. I have seen them in the news a couple of weeks back and no they are not photoshop-ed.

They might just inspire the crop-circle brotherhood to be a little bit more creative in their next Roswell-exhibition. See more here.

Now here’s a little altered version on what our Godfather really meant, since Singapore also wants to be a design hub too.

Again, love Indexed.

This is my share of an opinion on the recent national debate.

Love Indexed.

This is what I’ve been up to lately.

To take a poke at the paranoid androids of the real estate scene, UrbaneSpaces , a boutique real estate agency based in Singapore, came up with a its signature service: to blindfold clients on the way (and all the way) to their property viewing. Just because.

In light of social entrepreneurship, designer Pedro Alegria introduced USB flash card design to the local craftmen in Sao Tome e Principe, a West African country. All of whom had never seen such gadgets let alone acknowledge the use of a thumbdrive. This is quite unlike the aged old quest to bridge the digital-divide, rather an innovative way to tackle some serious unemployment rate. Kudos to Pedro!

I once wrote “India would truly be a magical place if only 99% of its men practise ogle-discretion.”

Blank Noise Project seeks to recognize Eve Teasing as sexual harrasment rather than a mere invitation to please the eye. A woman is raped for every half an hour (in India) and most of the charges were left acquitted on the basis of “she was asking for it.”

“…We question, defy, and attempt to put an end to the argument that women ‘ask for it‘. To establish ‘asking for it’ as a mere excuse for sexual harassment, we are asking all women to send in one garment that they wore when they were eve teased.”

In support of the project, women in Bangalore have taken a version of their own campaign to reclaim dignity by wearing t shirts with slogans such as “Y-ARE-U Looking At Me?” while they stand in groups, staring right back at the public.

If I had known how bad it was, I’d have printed a shirt that goes “You look really stupid LOOKING (at me) like that, really.“before landing myself in India then.
