A continuous stream of stuff from Stamford.

Just for clarification, this building is to be used to meditate.

Last week Taylor Design took a field trip down to the MoMA for a viewing of “Talk to Me: Design and the Communication Between People and Objects,” an interesting look at technology’s role in evolving human interaction. The picture above is of Thomas Xaver Dachs’ photo (hanging in the exhibit) of Bernhard Hopfengartner’s piece, “Hello World!” Hopfengartner mowed a Semacode into a wheat field in Germany that, when decoded, reads “Hello World!” The code can also be viewed on Google Earth’s global database. I found it to be one of the more clever pieces in the show, as it employed ancient techniques (ie. crop circles) to display some of the latest computer-reading technology.

I love the name, “Lobster in the Rough.” It sounds like everyone should be served lobster naked, and – depending on the waitresses and/or customers – that’s the only way this restaurant could be any better.

I spotted this bus on the road from Telluride to Mesa Verde, Colorado. This was last summer, but I am just now getting to scan some of the negatives. That’s film, for all you photography buffs. Yee Haw!
