Handmade Charlotte | DIY Crafts and Design for Kids Red Paper Heart UrbanDaddy asked us to create an installation for the E2NY Music and Arts festival 2011. We proposed a head to head bike race inspired by Goldsprints, but with more of a design focus. We mapped forests, foxbears and orbs to the speed of the bikes, giving the riders a sense of their speed. Riders face off against friends, enemies and strangers to see who can ride the farthest in 60 seconds. The faster the cyclist, the more environments and creatures they unlock. A lucky few even made it into space, and one guy puked. Each bike was rigged on a modifier roller which fed data into a central server by way of an Arduino using a system based off of the opensource openSprints hardware package.
Luke Luke Luke | Craft Monomoda just posted a small article on Australian designer Bianca Chang and her paper letters. Cutting the the same form over and over with subtle shape differences, Bianca has developed a lovely new take on sculptural typography. Makes me want to grab a ruler, a blade, and some 100% recycled paper, and get slicing! Bianca also works at Frost Design in Sydney. Paper art, or craft/tactile design, or the DIY movement, or whatever you want to call it was no doubt huge around three years ago, but seems to have exhausted it’s fifteen minutes as of recent. Owen turned it up a notch with a number of his recent pieces, and its really stoking my curiosities of the craftier side of design. From what I can gather, La Bolleur is a Dutch artist collective that builds excellent mini golf courses. You’ve probably seen the work of Chrissie MacDonald somewhere along the way, having done paper/craft work for some pretty major clients, including Creative Review.
