Tokimonsta
Tokimonsta is for serious about beatsThe LA-based producer and Lotus-proclaimed “first lady of [Brain]feeder” is proof that girls can run with the boys without even breaking into a sweat. Below is a Brainfeeder (Flying Lotus’s label) podcast of TokiMonsta-assembled (note: ‘toki’ means ‘rabbit’ in Korean) dirty, grinding, mind-bending beats (compiled, as she describes on her MySpace from, “some spacey psych records, rock/funk, several of my tracks (incl. "Stigmatizing Sex") and some of the homies' beaties”).

It's not about graffiti, it's about Pixo.
This is the trailer of a documentary by João Weiner et Roberto Oliveira seen at La Fondation Cartier in Paris, broadcasted in exclusivity for the Né dans la rue exhibition until 29 november 2009.
São Paulo, the biggest city of South America is creating a unique form of expression. It's not about graffiti, it's about Pixo. The pixadores had invented their own gestual language, using São Paulo buildings as a media for their messages of rebelion against the society.
Last year, 30 Pixadores stormed a gallery in protest against the "marketing, institutionalization and domestication of Street Art" by the galleries and media. Paintings by Gerald Laing, Speto, Titi Freak and others were tagged by the Pixadores...

“It’s that face you make when you are playing video games and concentrating so much that you don’t even realize the kind of expressions you are making. And everyone has a different one.”

Made of Myth
If you think old school games like Tetris, Arkanoid, Pong or Sonic were invented because someone had this great imagination to do it, you are actually wrong. All this has a true story behind.Tetris
When Alexei Pajitnov first ordered a load of bricks from Karpov Abramtsevo's workshop, workers there were wondering who could be interested in all those right-angled blocks. No one in 1985 could have imagined those concrete Tetriminos would become world famous and constitute Russia's deadliest weapon against Reagan's America.
Arkanoid
The notoriously bold Akira Gujita centralised the production of chromed steel balls and concrete breeze blocks needed to the construction of Fort DOH. The mix of techniques meant he chose to work with the Schuller Fabrik, situated on the outskirts of East Berlin. First established in 1986, their partnership would last for years after the fall of the Berlin wall.
Pong
It took the Reynolds Metals Company three months to manufacture the 140,000 raquets and 440,000 digits Nolan Bushnell had ordered, plus an extra two weeks to transport the merchandise from Kentucky to California. Completed in 1972, this memorable job brought about the rebirth of Louisville's metallurgic industry.
Super Mario
In 1995, the collaboration between Oita's mushroom farms and Nissin Foods Co. in Sapporo revolutionised the conditioning techniques of the time, also bringing biochemistry out of labs and onto a global stage. Without Shigeru Miyamoto's 750 billion colored (shiitake) mushrooms, the Japanese food processing industry wouldn't have cruised through the 1990s with the same optimism.
Sonic
In hindsight, Yuji Naka and Hirohaku Yasuhara almost regretted opting for a local foundry rather than sub-contracting from abroad. During the heatwave of summer 1991, the Yokohama Seitetsujo metal foundry had to keep four teams on the go to meet their deadlines. Over 32 billion brass rings have since been completed in these traditional molds.

A.P.C. Kita-Aoyama Store by Wonderwall
This is probably not new for most of you but i really want to show this beautiful store.
Japanese design firm, Wonderwall, is dominating the retail-space design industry as usual with this new A.P.C. store in Kita-Aoyama, Tokyo. Inspired by bungalow style houses, the store is truly unique by not confirming to the normal standards of a common retailer. The design aims to encourage interaction between the A.P.C. brand and its guests. This was created by the choices of materials and how they were incorporated in their use. The store is very different from Wonderwall’s usual ultra-contemporary designs but is completely in tune with A.P.C.’s classic yet modern feel, so check it out if you’re around the area.
