Danish architects Ole B. Nielsen and Christian Jensen (Monstrum) create wonderfully weird playgrounds. Just look at that oiltanker wreck! And what about the whale, exterior and interior?

One of the first steps in the recreation of real life models in a virtual world is the creation of the skeleton. I’ve always felt that the product of that step is an endproduct in its own right. And so…

Clock of clocks
This clock by Christiaan Postma consists of more than 150 separate clocks, each of them playing a role in a hybrid typographic/hand device to tell what time it is.
Christiaan explains the concept:
The word “three” completely appears when it’s exactly 3 o’clock and will then transform again as time passes. The word “four” begins to appear and at exactly 4 o’clock the word “four” is clearly visible. The word “three” is by then totally vanished and no longer readable.
Hard to visualize? Watch the accelerated animation below to see how it works.

This is just so perfect. This singlehanded clock by Denis Guidone tells you just about what time it is. Tilt it to the other half of its base and it’ll show daylight savings time. The “Ora ilLegale”. Simple. Brilliant. I…

Don’t be afraid
There has been a lot of controversy about first person shooters. There’s a not much of a gray area in discussions on the topic. Giant Sparrow’s concept may be all black and white, but this first person shooter may just be received with a lot more nuance than other titles in its genre.
The Unfinished Swan is a first-person painting game set in an entirely white world. Players can splatter paint to help them find their way through an unusual garden.
