I want to live in this film
"The 2007 documentary Great Expectations is a journey through possible and impossible architecture projects since the beginning of the 20th century, from concrete illusions of grandeur to underground grass-covered dwellings. The viewer is introduced to utopian visionaries like Buckminster Fuller and Archigram and their ideas of how to build a better world. With the help of animation, unrealized projects come to life in this film that shows astounding visions of a world as it could have been and may one day still become."

I used to get yelled at for playing this record in the tour van full of hardcore kids back in the day. Markus popp may be one of the most underrated artists outside of the IDM scene.

Switched On Austin
If these guys do this right its gonna be a mecca for synth nerds.
Switched On goes beyond the scope of the typical musical instrument store by offering vintage equipment rentals, repairs, restoration, modification, education, and local access to the international marketplace.
Studio, live and sampling rental services bring rare, vintage instruments within reach of those on who can’t afford to buy them outright. Helmed by LZX Industries’ Lars Larson, the repair department offers a unique specialty in restoring and modifying music electronics. Switched On will provide workshops, classes and clinics in DIY electronics, modular synthesis, and computer music production. Consigning your gear at Switched On gives you access to an international marketplace normally exclusive to internet sites like Ebay. Now there exists a physical space to meet, consult, discover, buy, sell, and trade. The mission is to foster and expand Austin's community of electronic musicians.
"Making musicians comfortable with the vast choices electronic music brings and making those choices human is my personal quest. With Switched On I’m looking out for the shoestring musician who simply wants the greatest sound ever.” -John French (co-owner)

Aids Tv Spot (NSFW)
I wish that America could just be this blunt and honest about our public service campaigns. The sad truth is we are only starting to back away very slowly from abstinence only education. Bag up kids.
Lego Sequencer
Artist and design Yoshi Akai treats analog electronics as an art form, a sculpture, an instrument, and an exercise in interaction design, all wrapped in the velour of vintage hardware design. For everyone who misses the deco elegance of meticulously-engraved surfaces and tastefully-appointed enclosures of early-century electronics, Yoshi’s work will be a special treat.

House SGLight by Grau.Zero
Portuguese architects Grau.Zero have completed a house in Santo Tirso, near Porto, where one end peels up from the ground. Called House SGLight, the project consists of two rectangular volumes that have been ‘bent’, one kinked horizontally and the other towards the sky.

Eames Sofa
With its emphasis on beautiful materials and simplified forms, the Eames sofa exemplifies the best in modern furniture design. Its angled profile and clean planes showcase a harmonious combination of rich walnut or teak, soft leather, and polished aluminum. Equally fitting for the contemporary home or office, it's a luxurious place to settle back and relax.
