Roger Molls is a Musician and a video creator promoting the positive side of hip hop culture, dancin’, breakin’ scratchin’ everywhere in the world.
His music style is definitely a unique blend of eclectic music, history, and culture with a touch of 70’s and blaxploitation roots , from influence from old 60’s/70’s beats of classic like serge gainsbourg or James Brown, Curtis Mayfield or even France GAll to creating his own music videos to featuring new american and european Mc’s like Above Ave or Art-cons ,Roger is a beast, a passionate , a talented individual and before all that , an awesome friend .
His attention to detail in the sound of each musical piece is just delightfull
Stay tuned for the infos about the album release.
Final Photography for the album Rewind comes from Samuel Amez .

Pretty awesome projector/augmented reality interface : Twinkle

-This thing called Twinkle has actually endless possibilities in term of new interactions behavior , it's basically a projector mounted on a camera ,you project, the camera film, the "computer" analyse the visual projected onto and automatically send project back augmented reality contentm, (here a little girl reacting to stairs,fire graphcs or water graphics) , in the futur this technology could be part of any smart phone, objects,remote or whatever you can think of .

Originally created to illustrate a Real-world game interface I can see some kind of a paradigm shift in term of what interactive communication or advertising could be , life is a game for some and this would transform the surrounding environment in an endless quest for projecting support .

In other words i am really excited by this soon to be everywhere little thing created by Tokyo University and Keio University students ...

They arrived... , My little TMA-1 by AIAIAI

-
By little i mean ,Big ,Flat black, awesome new pair of TMA-1 headphone from AIAIAI, designed by copenhagen design firm Kibisi , i've been following the story of this product till this week ,when they finally launch this pair of visual and audio pleasure.

I have to say they are heavy , but the sound is crystal clear, the cushions move a little bit if you bounce your head but it doesn't feel bad at all .
They arrived with two different types of cushion , leather and foam , the lack of detail or i would say the attention to the minimal amount of detail is just delightful.
Really happy about those.

Those guys at Kibisi start to be really interesting , i mean they've been designing some pretty awesome product since a while now and this product just make me want to know a little bit more.

The art of the Museum of Anthropology (British Columbia)

-The art of the Museum of Anthropology at The University of British Columbia is simply stunning, we went there this week end and enjoyed literally thousands of sculptures, illustrations, totem poles and other goodies,
Living in Seattle for the moment , I've been introduced to the american native art form and really appreciated it for a while but I really fell in love with this type of art during my visit, specially the work of Bill Reid and John MArston and i realized that most of this amazing work was coming from the region of British Colombia in Canada .
Anyway i strongly recommend a visit to the M.O.A if you are in the Vancouver BC region.
