The lectures at The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts are precious gems, including talks by David Crystal and Muhammad Yunus. The other day, a friend pointed me towards the RSA Animate, beautiful visualisation of some of the lectures, illustrated by Andrew Park.

In the one above, Professor Philip Zimbardo talks about how our relationship with time plays a big part on how we shape our culture.

Makes me wish I was there. By Skill Lab.

What if Holga went digital? Holga D, super cool project by Saikat Biswas.

It’s good to see a someone talk enthusiastically about what he/she believes. Here, Adam Greenfield starts to give a glimpse (I suspect) of his upcoming book and projects. Everyware goes social, political, gets embedded in the way we relate to each other and the cities we love (and some hate). I particularly like the part where Adam talks about the transformation from “objects to services”, “ownership to use” and “vehicle to mobile”.

Adam has been posting more frequently again on his famous Speedbird blog. I love the praise for the iPhone 4 industrial design and the well put criticisms on its UI aesthetics. I hope you keep on the avalanche of inspiration my dear friend!

Now it’s for real! Dimaquina signs the branding for Fernando Gabeira’s campaign for Rio de Janeiro Government.

Just got my copy of Designing Obama, a brilliant project by Scott Thomas, Design Director for Barack Obama’s Campaign. The book is beautifully crafted, with pretty much all design pieces as well as the various artists that collaborated the campaign (including the famous Shepard Fairey poster).

Check Scott’s lecture for 99% Think Tank. Maybe one day we’ll do “Designing Gabeira”, who knows
