World Cup

CSMPD06

Hey guys,

Missing you already... i've just been working with a few friends (www.abiogenesisdesign.com) on an exhibition/stage thingy to promote the world cup at Rich Mix.
The idea behind it was to celebrate a clash of cultures not through cliche references to institutions and flags but though different environments and products that make up a certain culture.
Please come visit:

35-47 Bethnal Green Road - London E1 6LA
-tube: Liverpool Street- take bus no. 8 towards Bethnal Green and stop off at the first bus stop on bethnal green road and keep walking down you can't miss it.

a little cheeky..

2006-06-09T22:14:00.000+01:00

I can imagine that every one properly wants some more tickets for the family and friends evening of the show, but if any one has spare two or three tickets they would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have a lot of friends, just a big family… thanks

Hi,

I'm planning to get it done at colour booth on bethnal green rd.

Graduation Trip

2006-05-30T23:52:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone! I'm sure everyone is feeling relaxed after handing in our last project. If I look back It was long but it went so quickly. I think it was around the end of the second year, I felt that people in our class is uniting. Everyone was talking to everyone and helping each others. I really am glad that I have started my course at the same time as you guys!

I have been thinking of organize a graduation party, but I think i have found something better than just a party. My friend has been organizing beach parties in last few years in Italy. It's not massive party but good size with good people and good vibe.
The party is happning once a month. The one in July is perfect timing for us as it is on the weekend of our graduation ceremoney.

Basically what happening is:

Friday Night Vanessa Freeman and Mike Patto (Live)
Saturday Night Patrick Forge (DJ)
Sunday Afternoon Myself(DJ)

those things just by the beach.

I have already talked to few people about this, and me and some people (so far 7 of us) have already booked the flight for it.
We have booked with Ryanair leaving London Stansted in the morning on 21st (fri) July to Bologna Forli, coming back on 24th (mon) July in the evening. I have just checked the flight fare(31st May), and its 90 pounds including tax. We will be sharing taxi or rent car to get the place.

For accomodation there will be 3 choices:

- Tent in Camping Site
- Bungalow in Camping Site
Price List for Camping Site

-Hotel........It will be around 50 euro per night per person, althought when we get many its possible to get some discount.

For food and drink:

Its not a posh place, so food and drink are not expensive as usual beach resorts. Just to add some more info sea food and Mojito are amazing!

What do you think? Are you interested? Please let me know if you are. Unfortunately flight fear is likely going to rise as we get closer to the date, so I would recommend to get the flight as soon as you make decision, but for accomodation there is more time to decide as I would like to wait a little more to see how many people are coming and will try to get some discount.

they use artificial additives and what not to enhance the 'true' flavors of the food. Also they've gotta industrial designer on the team to help design the food.

MUJI AWARD

2006-04-24T23:40:00.000+01:00

[www.muji.net] Muji is launching an international design competition. A project calling for entries from all over the world of designs that shake up and stir people. The results will be announced at the Milan Salone. Our first theme is “SUMI”, We're asking you to focus your design, not on the major pieces that are central to a room, rather to observe the extremes of the space, the unexplored areas of consciousness. We invite anyone in the world to propose a new Muji product!

Military Defence - Boston Dynamics

2006-04-12T11:20:00.000+01:00

BigDog is described by its developers Boston Dynamics as “the most advanced quadruped robot on Earth”. The company have released a new video of the robot negotiating steep slopes, crossing rocky ground and dealing with the sharp kick. View the impressive clip here (28MB Windows media file).

“Internal force sensors detect the ground variations and compensate for them,” says company president and project manager Marc Raibert. “And BigDog's active balance allows it to maintain stability when we disturb it."

This active balance is maintained by four legs, each with three joints powered by actuators and a fourth "springy" joint. All the joints are controlled by an onboard PC processor.

Graduating Celebrations

2006-03-23T22:18:00.000Z

Hey Peeps,

In recent discussions with people about the boat cruise and graduation ceremony, it seems that a few people doubt they will be attending one if not both events. My guess is that around June time we should probably have a degree show party, which im sure goes without saying! We'll make arrangements nearer the time...any ideas would be great!

Detail for Snowboarding Trip

2006-03-04T02:04:00.000Z

Hello all, here is the detail of snowboarding trip. Planning to go from 26 till 30. Price for accomodation + All day skipass for every day + Brekfasts will be 207 or 274 euro per person dipending on what kind of room you want (room for 5 or room for 3 with more facilities). I attache some of photo of the hostel. It will be ideal if we are about 4 to 5 people then it will be probably better to rend a car from airport to the mountain otherwise by train. It would be cheaper to book earlier so if you are interested please write me a mail or leave messages here!

PROCRASTINATION is GOOD!

2006-02-24T23:48:00.000Z

It’s official! According to the University of Amsterdam we make the best decisions when we are a sleep! So much for Nick’s advise on avoiding procrastination.

According to the BBC:

The study found that people can think unconsciously and that for complex decisions unconscious thought is actually superior.
The team argued the problem with conscious thought is that the brain can only focus on a few things at the same time, which can lead to some aspects being given undue importance.

The first step should be to get all the information necessary for the decision.
"Once you have the information, you have to decide, and this is best done with conscious thought for simple decisions, but left to unconscious thought - to 'sleep on it' - when the decision is complex."

Snow Season

2006-02-15T21:54:00.002Z

Hey people, after long project you must be feeling like get out of London and do something different. Have you watched any of olympic? I wish if I had a TV home. By the way is anyone interested to going down to Switzerland for Snow boarding or Sking even for slipping with your bum? I'm planning to going down right after this term. It would be 26th or 27th of March leaving London, for 3 or 4 nights. Take a look this website. http://www.riderspalace.ch/en/ It's a hostel right next to the ski place. They have very good offer as all day skipass + Brekfast is included. They also have some special offer as you could see on their website. Let me know if anyone interested.

How to survive your presentation...

2006-02-15T11:39:00.000Z

Alright dudes,

Had my presentation on tuesday, AM... I ballsed it up a bit, so I thought Id post some quasi useful nonsense on here about it for you all to browse.

Firstly, get there damn early. Its insane how much those stairs take it out of you when your heart is already beating ten times faster than normal. To prevent sweating, start your ascent at least 15 minutes before you are expected at the top. Take frequent breaks on the way up if you like.

Secondly, definately make sure you dont need the loo before going into the room, its hard to concentrate on explaining the visual language of a certain sized radius to Mr. Bolton when all you can think about is waterfalls, floods and running taps.

Thirdly, dont try and be funny. It seems product design isnt a laughing matter, and sitting through 100 presentations of quivering, over tired rookies is, evidently, even less funny.

Fourth, remember to show them everything you decided you would. This involves keeping a very cool brain and isnt too easy. But you look like a bit of a muppet lugging a gargantuan pile of sketchmodels, drawings and 30+ bits of foam board over to the desk, only to neglect it the entire time... you will also kick yourself when you leave the room.

Finally and fithly, remember that beyond this degree possible employees are, apparently, more interested in what you can do, not a little number on your CV. So just take it in your stride and be happy that your 15 minute presentation might seem like a lifetime, but their 50 hours of listening must seem like an eternity.

Smallest Earth-like planet found

2006-01-26T14:30:00.000Z

The new planet has 5.5 times the Earth's mass and can be found about 25,000 light-years away in the Milky Way, orbiting a red dwarf star. The discovery, reported in the journal Nature, was made using a method called microlensing, which can detect far-off planets with an Earth-like mass. Microlensing occurs when a massive object in space, like a star, crosses in front of another more distant star. As it passes, the gravity from the foreground object bends the light coming from the background star, temporarily making it look brighter. This usually lasts for about a month. The planet, which goes by the name OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, takes about 10 years to orbit its parent star, a red dwarf which is similar to the Sun but cooler (- 220 °C) and smaller.

It's the photo of my 'blue-tack-model' to try out the rolling movement. It do roll, but not so smooth. So, the ball run around unstable. Model no.2 is going to be done. It look much closer to the CAD rendering I posted, but more bulky.

The Future...

2006-01-23T20:50:00.000Z

Hello,

This Blog things GENIUS!

I’ve read a really cool book recently but haven’t been able bring it into any conversations (without freaking people out) and if I keep it in any longer I’ll ExPLOde! Here goes:

Title: The Age of Spiritual Machines: How We Will Live, Work, and Think in the New Age of Intelligent Machines.
Author: Ray Kurzweil

About: Kurzweil’s a Futurologist and A.I. developer type bloke (excuse my english, I’m not so good with the putting together words thing) any hoo he predicts by:

2009: there will be a demand for personality designers to design cpu interfaces.

2019: a $1000 computer will be equivalent to a human brain and contact lense screens will replace monitors.

2029: $1000 cpu will be as powerful as 1000 human brains, the majority of communication will be between humans and machines (not human to human… like that’s anything new) and many leading artists will be machines.

2050 nanobots will have the capacity to help maintain our bodies by being injected into our blood stream, we can also decide to have nanobots plugged into our brains to enhance our processing power and memory, this will also enable us to connect to the internet just by thinking.

2080: we will be able to download our self’s into cpu’s neuron by neuron, by 2099 this will become the norm and most people will be software based and there will no longer be a distinction between human and machine.

Obviously don’t take these predictions too seriously. Though most people I’ve spoken to hate the thought of a future where we’d be able to download ourselves into cpu’s I love the idea, despite the obvious risks (in any society there will always be risks/crimes according to Emile Durkheim) potentially we’ll be able to anything.
This also means that the Matrix narrative mite be true, this mite be the year 2099 (but despite concentrating really hard I haven’t been able to fly yet, which leads me to suspect that this may well be the original reality... I guess you can now see why I tend not to talk about this)

Ringtone garments. telephony & wearable

2006-01-22T17:17:00.000Z

"Industrial designer Christopher Glaister and fashion designer Michelle Shakallis's barcode textiles are decorated by a pattern that translates a piece of music (When the Saints Go Marching In) into a barcode. The pattern can be turned back into real music or a ring tone by scanning it with a modified camera phone. The tune can then be used as the ringtone for that mobile phone.
Been looking for a link to that project for months, found it via a post on pixelsumo.
Other projects by Chr. Glaister: Communicating concrete and Olson, the independent camera." (http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/cat_telephony.php, 22.01.2006)

Geometric shelter

2006-01-21T18:35:00.000Z

Math. I seam to have become very bad at math so decided to make a very geometric shelter to challenge my math ability... oh how silly I was... slowly getting there…These are panel sets that make up the roof of my relief shelter. When viewed from above it resembles petals around a flower. The walls of the shelter make a Dodecagon (a regular twelve sided polygon). It is constructed from cardboard, our studio is covered with the off cuts; it will preserve the floor well! Please click images to enlarge.

hope you are well,

welcome to CSMPD06

2006-01-20T22:20:00.000Z

The idea of this space online is for people to keep in contact with what PD06 graduates are doing after we leave CSM, yep soon we will all be pushed out into the world to show the industry are colourful little crayon drawings looking for work. You can put anything up from your latest nail polish colour to a bolt that you thought others would like on a crane. There is no panel to sensor it. You just have to click on the link that was sent to you by email and then you become a member for this blog. All I ask is that you put you username/displayname as your full name so others will know who you are. Fill in your personal profile with as much detail as you want. Show us your latest development in your project, or your room that you just rearranged.
