zero building
The zeroHouse is a self-sustaining, modular home that sounds like something out of The Jetsons. Supposedly, the house is able to collect and store solar energy in batteries which can power the house for one week without sunlight. It collects rainwater which is stored in a 2700 gallon tank and the plumbing needs no power because it’s all controlled by gravity. It can process all waste in the house because of a digester unit beneath the house, which you only need to clean up twice a year. And not only that, but the whole house is filled with “sensors” that control the house.
While this sounds great, what average citizen could afford anything like this? There’s no way on earth this thing is going to be under $500,000. I don’t see how it would be possible. I think it’s totally beautiful, and it has some wonderful ideas, but why don’t people start creating things which are feasible?! The picture at top sums it up well enough I think. If you can afford to own a huge plot of land, like 500 acres or so, you can afford to throw this miracle house out into the middle of it.
I really want to believe in projects like this, but every now and then you have to question whether or not Santa can really fit down the chimney.

Good Knitting
knitta is a tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around
everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings.
their unique form of public art adds a lighthearted touch to the everyday by adding a warmth to otherwise cold,
urban environments.

Big Fish
These were installed for the advertisment of a new show on the discovery channel "London ink" I think they are taking the ink tag a little to far Miami, LA, now London. It might also be that I am a bit jealous that I dont have cable and cant watch these shows. BLAST YOU CABLE.

Leap dead frog
Experiments in Galvanism is the culmination of studio and gallery experiments in which a miniature computer is implanted into the dead body of a frog specimen. Akin to Damien Hirst's bodies in formaldehyde, the frog is suspended in clear liquid contained in a glass cube, with a blue ethernet cable leading into its splayed abdomen. The computer stores a website that enables users to trigger physical movement in the corpse: the resulting movement can be seen in gallery, and through a live streaming webcamera.

fence
In the charming “Playground Fence”, not only are the protrusions and recessions of the fence eye-catching, but they allow for a more active interaction between those on either sides of the fence, providing seats, benches, nooks and playspaces for children.
