Digital Hinterlands features a diverse range of work by some of the best recent architecture graduates from London’s Architectural Association, Bartlett , Royal College of Art, and University of Westminster. Curated by Ruairi Glynn in consultation with Arup, this exhibition revealed how the latest computational design and rapid manufacturing processes are providing new ways of understanding and designing space. From built models, 1:1 fragments, material experiments and installations, to interactive devices, virtual worlds and robotics, the exhibition presented the ideas of a wave of young designers, operating on the speculative hinterlands of architectural design. |
A baby named Levithan accompanied by his metamorphic cat – ‘One of the greatest wierdest things I have ever stared at’
Quirky and reverential, dark and droll by turn, it follows the faceless baby Levi’s journeys in to and out of the world. They are escapes, but as some sage once observed, only a jailer would consider the term ‘pejorative’.

Happy 75th Penguin Books from Douglas Coupland (and me)

Machotaildrop, the fantastical skateboard fantasy film
Machotaildrop is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world’s greatest skateboard company… Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations. Walter’s journey serves as a window through which we discover the dark underbelly of what appears at first to be a benign skateboard company. |
