THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Again, it is Apple Macintosh that put goosebumps into my skin today. Because after having thought about the iPad not more then an hour or two, these guys made me do it again. The once punk-rock-on-silicium dream of being different whilst also knowing it turns out to lead into a blind alley of thoughts like I’m-nothing-without-a-soon-achieved-world-supremacy or [...]

BRAND SPACE

I fell over this architecture project and hurt myself.

YOUR SOUL VS. YOUR MONEY

iPad. OK, might be cool, but the new wheel it certainly is not – at all. Although neither will be the rumoured Google Tablet PC, but it is hinted (alas, in German only) to be much more versatile than Apple’s iPad which is being bashed for being no more than an ultra-cool remote control for [...]

iPad

Some say it’s nonsense, some say it’s years too late. Others say it will be way ahead of the pack of tablets. Make yourself a key-note here. And imagine those long flights with even more films to really watch, doing real mailing whilst up and away or imagine just wanting to have it without needing [...]

BOOKS ON LINE

‘What is the future of the photo book?’ It’s a question everyone is asking in these dark days for print. Should they exist as luxury objects, beautiful behemoths to look at but not touch? Or cheap broadsheets, more The New York Times than The Americans? Or should they even be physical objects anymore - why [...]

Customised Bang

Time and bang seem to be fundamentally connected. While passing seconds are notorious for their ticking sound, passing universes are known for somewhat bigger bangs. It seems only fair to assign a tradition of cracking to passing years. After all, the inventor of this unit can refer to strong evidence gathered from several thousand study [...]

PLANS FOR THE NEXT DECADE

We’ve already been getting some requests whether we produced another mono.kalender for next year – so yes, we have. The image is from the summer collection of mono.gramm. For a good start into the next decade, it’s available as of now, for free with any order for as long as stocks last. If you subscribe [...]

SONICALLY OVERCAST

No photo, no label, less than 5,000 Myspace visitors, though featured over at Prefix and Fader and Stereogum and everywhere else, we certainly don’t understand what’s going on with Cloud Nothings (who seem to have a tape release forthcoming), but the tunes, I mean, the tunes…

Artifacts from the Future

Yes, it’s been around for six years. But it’s brandnew to me: The Photoshop Contest on Wired’s FOUND page features Artifacts from the Future.
The topic for this dolphin picture was: ‘The Future of Wildlife’. Discover more intriguing visions, such as ‘The Future of Amusement Parks’, ‘The Future of Rehab’, or ‘The Future of the [...]
