Pimp Out Toilet

The humble toilet receives the makeover treatment as plumbing and drain-cleaning service provider Roto-Rooter create the “Pimped Out John” for their sweepstakes.

Pimped Out Toilet

A bit excessive but a joy to see, otherwise life would be too boring right? The set-up includes the following:

Philips 20-inch LCD TV and Star Wars DVD
Xbox 360 gaming system
Philips DVD player
Gateway EMachine laptop computer with fully articulated robot arm
iPod with stereo docking station equipped with toilet paper dispenser
Roto-Rooter “emergency” button
Tivo recorder
Avanti refrigerator with beer tap, stocked with drinks and snacks
Magazine rack and subscriptions to Sports Illustrated, ESPN and GQ
Bike pedal exerciser
Cup warmer / cooler

Beats leaving a Gameboy or magazine in there to pass the time.

Modernist Infinity Aquarium

Design co-operative BCXSY, created this funky, modernist style aquarium. Its very striking and does remind me of a similar look I saw a few months ago making up a 3d glass graffiti tag..

Infinity-Aquarium1

BCXSY say:

The repetitive geometrical shape of INFINITY AQUARIUM creates a visual metaphor to life in the fish bowl.

Hand crafted from cut glass, INFINITY AQUARIUM scales down a vast concept of time and space.

Infinity-Aquarium2

BCXSY is a cooperative between designers Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto. It is a multi-disciplined experience that creates and develops concepts, identities, products, graphics, interiors and atmospheres.

Check out a video of the fish in action..

How Flooded London Looks in 2090

Film and media studio Squint/Opera has created a series of images depicting imaginary scenes in London in 2090, when rising sea levels have inundated the city.

Flooded London St Paulssq2

The Flooded London series depicts the city as a “tranquil utopia” presenting a long-term view of how London’s population has adapted to raised sea levels.

The general scenario is set 80 or so years into the future, long after the sea levels have risen. The catastrophe side of the sea coming in has long since past and the five images are snapshots of people going about their lives, long since having adapted to the worlds new circumstance.

Flooded London Officesq

Squint has used photography, 3d modelling and digital manipulation to imitate some of the techniques of the super-idealistic Victorian landscape painters. Details are exaggerated and play with scale to present images that belie their composition.

Five images will be on show at Medcalf Gallery in Clerkenwell, London from the 20th June, 2008, for a month, during the London Festival of Architecture.

Future Disaster Photography by Lori Nix

Photographer Lori Nix creates intricate miniature dioramas of scenes that depict disaster and decay and photographs them.

I find myself drawn to images and ideas that show the familiar but in a slightly different way. It’s intriguing to see a glimpse of how life could be if disaster were to hit places that we grew up in - like the local library below.

In fact, the best thing about Will Smith’s recent film “I am Legend” is the depiction of the future world, over run by nature.
