Dell 1525 Is Not Detecting Camera

INGO MAURER. "Hoi polloi - This, That and The Others" @ Spazio Krizia


"Hoi polloi - This, That and The Others", this is the title of the event " living outside " dedicated to Ingo Maurer and hosted - as usual now - in Spazio Krizia .

"Woonderlux" , his latest creation, is a tribute to the bulb: at first glance looks like a traditional incandescent bulb, but a closer inspection, you notice that actually the light source is an LED , hidden in the glass bulb that is actually empty! So Woonderlux radiates a mysterious light.
Available 12 and 24 volts, is being considered a high-voltage version, to be able to install on a standard E27 socket without transformer.

D + Arch , the opening night, has a chat with the 'artist-designer. "

D + Arch: unknown What would you recommend to young designers?
IM: Be unusual, have the courage daring and rated significantly!
D + Arch: Every year not miss the appointment with the Milan Fashion Week, why not bring its new Space Krizia. Why here?
IM: Why Krizia is a friend and I make available to its space, there is always a deep and mutual respect, here I am in a more familiar!
D + Arch: What do you think of Italian economic crisis?
IM: Italy is a country not difficult because there is no market!
D + Arch: What do you think of the Milan Design Week used in international trade fairs such as Frankfurt and New York?
IM: Milan is as important as Frankfurt and New York!

"Hoi Polloi" is the name of Ingo Maurer's exhibition During the 2010 Milan design week . As
Every year Spazio Krizia hosted The Most recent works of this famous German designer Whose creative process can be well represented by his slogan:
"New Days, New Lights, New Thinking".

WonderluLux is a low-voltage Led bulb . At first glance it looks like a like a classic incandescent lamp, but the fine glass bulb is empty: the LED light source is hidden inside the socket.
Woonderlux can be made in various versions, for 12 or 24 volts . A high-voltage version is currently in the planning phase. In that case the bulb will be screwed into a traditional E27 socket , without requiring a transformer.
All Ingo Maurer career is related with a light bulb. In 1966, his first work, Bulb shot him straight into the Museum of Modern Art's collection . At present, Ingo Maurer is fighting for the light bulb's survival with a war-cry of "Protect yourself from stupid rules, use the Euro Condom!"
He has created the Euro Condom (presented last year) especially for this : it is made of heat-resistant silicon, so that a clear light bulb can be turned into a pearl one instantly.
His new creations , Woonderlux and Hoi Polloi are again fine bulbs.

During a famous interview he says . " .... "And we're being forced to accept the compact fluorescent lamp as a substitute […]. We recommend protest against the ban, civil disobedience […]." So the question asked in the wonderful name for a lamp "Wo bist du, Edison …?" (Edison, where are you …?) (1997) could now read "Wo bleibst du, Edison ..?" (Edison, where have you gone …?).

"Hoi Polloi" expresses the Ingo Maurer's love for the light bulb. It's not just new low-voltage Led system, but a suspended locus where thread,socket and glass dance as climbers on the rope.

Spazio Krizia presented too an interesting work, “Robotzki” , by Benedikt Achatz . “Robotzki” uses technology and precision mechanics to reproduce the functional principles and articulations of the human arm. The led lamp is controlled electronically using five motors, several programmable microcontroller modules and a software interface that remains open to future additional input-output devices (e.g. sensors and light regulators).
Ingo Maurer says about this lamp: " the result is a fresh and provocative reinterpretation of a classic icon: the task lamp. ...the fusion of science, artistry, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetic visions".

Finally Ingo Maurer answered to some D+Arch's questions .

D+Arch: Any advice for unknown young designers?
I.M.: Three things
1) vote in a good and meaning way
2) be unusual
3) be courageous to risk
D+Arch: Why every year you don't miss MILAN DESIGN WEEK?
I.M.: Because Krizia is a friend and she's very generous to give me this great space where there is a "family dimension".
D+Arch: What do you think about the Italian economic crisis?
I.M: Italy is not a difficult country . Here is the market.
D+Arch: And what about Milan Design Week?
I.M.: That's really an important event as that of New York and Frankfurt.

The Most Heat Absorption Material

"70 m2". A space for ideas in Livorno.



A Livorno, in Poggiali No 10, there is a architectural firm that has provided a display area, "70 m2" - its size - an opportunity for those who want to be known, with events " temporary and contemporary. "
"70 m2" is an initiative of the architects Posarelli Lucia, Marta and Marco Lulli Righeschi , about a year ago they decided to open their study with the new activity, dedicating a room for every kind of "creative contribution."

The space will host exhibitions of young artists, craftspeople, art designers, architects, etc., whose main theme is "creative research that should be the foundation of every project." exhibitions or events are short, personal or collective stories or meetings offered to those who "are stimulating creativity and are open to contamination" and at the same time, allow the circuit to trigger a cultural study on what the 'passionate.

is a showcase and a 'good opportunity for the dissemination and exchange of ideas between the city of Livorno and different realities, by place and culture.
The objective of "70 m2" is to show " the work of an artist, the potential of a material," to introduce innovations, to stimulate talent and to encourage those who have idea but not the space to present it.
The environment is deliberately neutral to give opportunities for people exposed to personalize it with your own creations or performances.

The famous aphorism William Burroughs, "The most dangerous thing to do is stand still" was adopted from the study to deliver its concept, because the same members as stated:
"We believe that creativity is something dynamic, which originates in the mind of an artist, takes shape in his creation and triggers in front of those who finds new insights. We like to think that people, ideas, works and projects that will fall from our area will leave marks in the minds of visitors who want to be contaminated with anything that is original and creative. "70 m2" is aimed at those looking for the exchange, he believes that the comparison is the starting point for growth, those who want to share an idea and find a colleague in the work of the stimulus for reflection, who, like us, want to open the doors to all those who have something to say. "

"70m2" was inaugurated on November 13, 2009 where some 18 designers, artists selected from those willing to participate in personal or group exhibitions planned for 2010 .

In December the study was officially presented the program in February , "a jewel of matter" collective of artists / designers are able to transform various materials in unusual jewelry; April , Caterina Crepax with its seductive creations of paper; May , Constance Algranti with its experienced parts made of materials, modified by time and weather; autumn , Paul Ulian with its interesting range of industrial products, and "second life " , with a large group of designers who are dedicated to the theme of " creative recycling ".

" De bustibus " the title of the event is in progress in which the artist Caterina Crepax exhibits, as the only stage in Tuscany, its new " fatigue.

" Caterina Crepax artist in shaping the paper in clothes and art objects of extraordinary beauty, inspired by the widespread Latin phrase which claims to each their own choices and the pleasure of space between shapes, fancy proposals. In this new exhibition Caterina Crepax sets up a fascinating scenario in which twelve of his now well-known unpublished "busts" light of clever lighting effects and colors, are told in word games, are embellished with handmade jewelry in exclusive metals, stones, materials, emphasizing the beauty of and choose to represent themselves in an infinite universe full of feminine charm. Together with Caterina Crepax, four artists Jewel, Nicole Cicalò (signing with Catherine the "stories" told inside the envelope) Gramegna Claudia, Elisabetta Nava and Lora Nikolova have interpreted "Bust them" the proposed themes, each carrying three jewelry designed and handmade exclusively for the complete story created by the artist by nature and its elements , ironically protagonists of the new works presented. Poetry and irony, depth and light weight, light and shadow chase transporting visitors in a size a bit 'dreamy through twelve magical stories .... to each his own. " [press release from the Studio 70m2]

The exhibition was inaugurated last Saturday, April 10 and saw the participation of artists.

For the final day, scheduled for April 24 the , Caterina Crepax it comes back for a meeting / interview with those interested in knowing its history.

LOVEGROVE ROSS: an "evolutionary biologist" essential design and organic!


Ross Lovegrove more than a designer is considered a "evolutionary biologist" , inspired by the laws of the reductionism of shapes, sizes and materials, its design is out by the municipality, sustainable, ethical and highly experimental.

His research crosses the boundaries between science, technology, design and architecture, and led him to produce, with an original sign, primitive objects and futuristic at the same time sensual and seductive.
His method of design is Darwinian: "I am convinced that the purpose of design is to improve human life. In my research I am inspired by nature where nothing is random and nothing superfluous, everything happens for a precise right ... simplicity and elegance of shape, minimal use of materials and perfect functionality. "
His language is the product of "conceptual thinking" , not a product of the design process, a more scientific approach to generate new ideas and experimental. Behind every creation is a commitment to research and a comprehensive methodology. What has always fascinated him most was the idea of \u200b\u200bmapping a transition or a state of change, and how all this is very important for the design and architecture.
The concept of "organic essentialism" or "organic essentialism" in simple terms, is the intelligent "evolutionary economics" form in line with what you need and nothing more.
In other words, is not interested in doing something more than what is ultimately essential.
believe that the study of the earth, and evolution of the time, led him to create an organic form and organic that will develop when you will need.

This is what nature does and this is the way in which designs!

of his work says
"I do not know what design is anymore, I create form ... I Understand form and I'm enjoying the digital age to create it. That I'm Hoping to push even Further ... I feel comfortable in this organic, isomorphic, anthropomorphic, liquid age of making things, But I try not to force it into Things That Do not Need It. "


During the Milan Design Week 09 , Ross Lovegrove, presented to Artemis two innovations: "Cosmic Angel" and "Cosmic leaf "family , lighting devices with organic forms that blend technology, materials and sculpture.
says of them:
"COSMIC ANGEL , comes from my ongoing research into liquid forms, algorithms and digital contemporary process of production and creation directly from the software ... I started from the idea to freeze a moment that seems to be created by rolling over a thin, resulting in a very natural flow and rhythm in the light coat sculpture. The end result is that appears to be suspended against the law of gravity on a cushion 'air ... as the cosmos and complex geometrical shapes that seem to defy explanation and create a sense of infinite ... COSMIC LEAF , looks like a digital leaf from another World, covered with scales like a reptile or an insect that collects light and shadow on her body to seduce a mate. "
