His design has the "eyes" acting as the hands of the clock. The position of the eyes replace the position of the hands on a clock. The left tells the hour and the right, the minute. Isn't it cool?

Mike Mak Design created a brilliant clock that really makes you think at first glance. Can you guess how it's read?

3191, b&w,150
Now that I am back home in Toronto, I have been out a lot more often, and, thus, have a lot less time to explore the World Wide Web. Hopefully I will be able to find time to myself and do what I love most soon—finding other great stuff to inspire me and sharing it with the world. Here are three things that have been sitting on my browser for the last three days:
1) 3191 A Year of Evenings is a visual blog by Maria Alexandra Vettese and Stephanie Congdon Barnes. Living 3191 miles apart, these two women have only met once in their lives and communicate with each other through photography. Almost every evening, they take a photograph every Monday to Friday and combine them to make beautiful diptychs on their website. A year ago, they took photographs every morning and have since turned those into a book which I just purchased yesterday at Indigo. What a beautiful concept, one I would love to try with a distant someone!
2) Found on the streets of Moscow by The Satorialist is a lady dressed in black and white. Her perfectly matched assembly reminded me of my love for form-fitting leather jackets, black boots, cowl-neck sweaters, and of course, tulle dresses. She makes looking good look so easy! (Source)
3) Last but not least, Christiaan Postma entitled Clock. Consider this a follow up to a post I made two weeks ago where I featured a project by Nadine Grenie. She had formed a French message with the hands of 500 clocks. And now, a different, and perhaps even more fascinating, project of a clock that spells the time out for you.
There is also an animated sample on her website that you must see!

The starting point with this project was a personal study about form & time. I put together more than 150 individual clockworks and made them work together to become one clock. I show the progress of time by letting the numbers be written in words by the clockworks. Reading clockwise, the time being is visible through a word and readable by the completeness of the word, 12 words from “one” to “twelve”. The size of the clock is 1,4 by 1,4 meter.

experimental. innovative.
*I have been having major trouble accessing lookbook.nu for the last several days. I wish I could feature more outfits, but I can't see a single thing. If anyone know what is wrong or can help me fix this issue, please contact me.
When I saw this, my mouth dropped. Ice sculptures have been made for dozens of years and we always marvel over them. The melting process is evidently more interesting as shown by the following project titled Melting Men.

A project by Nadine Grenie, a message is posted every 12 hours with more than 500 clocks. At my initial sighting of this project, I thought that it was clever she used clocks and positioned them to create a phrase. At second thought, these clocks are ticking. A minute later, each letter would be skewed as the hands would no longer be in the right position, which is why the message is only displayed every 12 hours. What a ingenious idea.

Michael Oswald created some brilliant art to depict androids, more specifically, a gynoid. Very futuristic and beautiful.
