An artist got an RFID chip implanted under his skin

The worst has happened! An artist, Anthony Antonellis just got an RFID chip implanted in his skin. The RFID chip is the size of a grain of rice and can contain up to 1KB of data. All you need is to approach your smartphone to scan the hand and discover content. For now, Anthony Antonellis is using it to display his favorite GIFS.
     

              
This experience can be scary because we can easily imagine the marketing excesses that could result if everyone starts to implement this kind of chip in their skin. Some say that it could store vital data, which would be effective in an accident for example. Some would say it is just a new way to be more "controlled" than we already are ...

So, for or against?

Comic Relief -V-

“Hell, if someone wrote a book about you, well, it'd sell a million copies the day it was released. And if someone else was clever enough to write a parody - you know, to provide some comic relief during these extremely difficult economic times - that would probably be an even bigger seller, or at least it should be. So, just come clean with me, Ed. Your secret's safe with me, and whoever reads my internet blog. You...are...a...vampire!”

― Stephen Jenner, Twilite: A Parody

Last December, Disney released Paperman, a short cartoon movie. The movie was so successful it even  received the Oscar for best animated short film in February.

The story was beautiful, a man who seeks to find a woman with whom he exchanged a few words. They meet, they kiss, do you want to find out what happened next?
Following is CollegeHumor's sequel with a much less romantic plot .

Here's the video, Enjoy:

An Archway Constructed Of Bent Light

Posted the 23rd of Oct 2012 on  http://designtaxi.com

London-based art and design studio Troika has constructed an archway with just rays of bent light.
   
As part of the Biennale Interieur 2012 in Kortrijk, Belgium, this light installation is entitled ‘Arcades
Project’ and seeks to explore the boundaries between intangible and physical space.

The archway is created by passing columns of light through a Fresnel lens, which not only refracts the light rays but bends them hyperbolically to form the curved shape of the arches.

Reminiscent of gothic architecture, the lights create a sense of structure where there is none.
