Wandering Minds Reach the Bounds of Post-Its in Aron Wiesenfeld’s ‘Playtime’
Known primarily for mysterious paintings, Aron Wiesenfeld (previously) has been experimenting with a tinier canvas, packing the same enigmatic energy into the confines of a yellow Post-It. His ink drawings rely on intricate line work and the artist’s ability to convey vast narratives within a three-inch square.
Wiesenfeld’s foray into Post-Its began on a whim, although it’s grown into a vast collection he’s now publishing as a book. Available for backing on Kickstarter, Playtime comprises the entire body of work within 120 pages. (The campaign notably surpassed its goal within minutes of launching.)
In addition to drawings, Playtime contains poems and writing...
Basura and Yerba Madre create shoes "literally made out of dirt"
Beverage company Yerba Madre has worked with New York-based design studio Basura to create shoes made out of soil that crumble and spread wildflower seeds as the wearer walks.
The Dirt Shoes project is part of an effort to "pique people's interest" in the yerba mate company since it recently rebranded from Guayaki and to serve as a "statement of regeneration, circularity, and commitment to give more back to the planet than we take", according to Yerba Madre.

Roméo Mivekannin’s Cage-Like Sculptures of Museums Reframe the Colonial Past
Known for bold, chiaroscuro paintings that reimagine European art historical masterworks in his own likeness, Roméo Mivekannin is interested in the Western, colonial gaze on Africa and the power of archives to reveal underrepresented or untold stories. Born on the Ivory Coast, Mivekannin splits his time between Toulouse, France, and Cotonou, Benin. His practice interrogates visibility, appropriation, and power dynamics through direct and unflinching pieces spanning acrylic painting, installation, and sculpture.
At Art Basel last weekend, in collaboration with Galerie Barbara Thumm and Cécile Fakhoury, Mivekannin presented a large-scale installation titled Atlas, comprising a series of metal buildings suspended from the...
"Ancient cooling techniques" allow 3D-printed partitions to regulate temperature
A team of researchers at US university Virginia Tech has developed a concept for a 3D-printed, evaporative cooling system made of hollow clay columns that can be filled with sand and water.
The system, which can cool the surrounding air by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (5.56 degrees Celsius), has been formatted into a wall partition and is currently undergoing testing.
Virginia Tech researchers have begun work on 3D-printed wall partitionsIt could also be formatted into different interior objects, such as a "cooling chair" made from the same materials. The hollow clay brick could also form the basis of a cooling building...
