Baby Mammoth CT Scan Reveals Internal Organs
The frozen body of a baby woolly mammoth discovered last year in Arctic Russia has provided the first detailed internal look at a prehistoric mammal, scientists report.
The remarkably preserved mammoth calf is named Lyuba after the wife of the hunter who found the 37,000-year-old carcass in the remote Yamalo-Nenetsk region in May 2007.

Chinese Homeless Fashion Icon
“A homeless man in China has developed an Internet following of thousands who admire his “good looks” and “bohemian dress sense,” the Independent reports. The man lives in Ningbo, and is referred to on the net as “Beggar Prince,” “Handsome Vagabond,” and, most commonly, “Brother Sharp.” One commenter wrote in response to a picture comparing him to a look from the latest Dolce & Gabbana” [the Cut]
“He is 5ft 8in, around 35 years old, and always has a cigarette between his fingers. He also appears to have a fondness for women’s clothes, which has only served to fuel his status as a fashion icon. His good looks are reminiscent of popular Asian actors like Takeshi Kaneshiro or the Oscar- nominated Ken Watanabe.”

Subway Shark
Street artist Kapo created this fierce looking shark on a subway entrance in Madrid, Spain. Love how the 3D effect makes it look like the beast is coming out of water.

Death Star and Black Whole
Art installations by Michel de Broin.
Top: “Dead Star is made from residual battery at the end of their duty. Left to itself, the sculpture will slowly cool down since there is no longer electronic activity taking place in it. The hundreds of batteries were once used to power appliances before they finish their cycle in a recycle facility. Retrieve from death, they were assembled again in this whole structure.”
Bottom: Black Whole. 72 chairs, 400cm in diameter. “The installation consists of a large sphere composed of an assemblage of chairs. The legs are attached to one another, bringing the chairs together. In this spherical conference room there is no central position, all the chairs float in solidarity with each other. They operate as an immune system – protecting themselves by blocking and kicking out their surroundings. As a massive object in the gallery space, the sphere acts as a centre of gravity around which the rest orbits. The reorganization of matter derives from a ‘big bang’ where the ancient order of the conference room has blown out and reconfigured into a ‘utopic’ geometrical endosystem.”
1923 by Max Hattler
1923 (by Max Hattler) from Max Hattler on Vimeo.
1923 is one of two new animation loops directed by Max Hattler, inspired by the work of French outsider artist Augustin Lesage. 1923 is based on Lesage’s painting ‘A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World’ from 1923.

cute shit
Tanuki (狸 or タヌ�) is the Japanese word for the Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). They have been part of Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded.

Nissan Cube in a Cube
Well, what did we say about the Nissan Cube, cult status and collaboration nirvana? You might be thinking right now that the Japanese giants are paying us to write this stuff – if only they were (you can use the contact button, top left) – but only a few days after writing about their collaboration with trendy French freeskiers Black Crows, this landed in our inbox…. a unique tattooed ice sculpted cube, with, erm a Cube inside. Tattooist to the stars, Henry Hate (we really hope that’s his real name), has unveiled his first sculptural work on London’s south bank in the form of a 2.4m x 2.6m block of ice sculpted with Japanese Samurai chisels in a traditional Japanese tattoo design.
the Archipod
Tucked away in the corner of your suburban garden like the bastard offspring of a traditional garden shed and a lunar landing module, the Archipod is a whole new reason to work from home. Centered around the concept of removing the tie between work and home, the Archipod allows for an external working space without the cost, bureaucracy and inconvenience of building an extension or out-building. Of course it’s not just your office you could set up in your ‘pod… it’s an ideal space for a mini recording studio, a rather luxurious playroom for the kids, or perhaps just loading with tools and acting as a designer replacement for your shed… whatever you do with it, you’ll have endless hours of fun watching the neighbours reaction to the wooden spaceship that’s taken up residence in your cabbage patch….

TDK Wireless (Kleer) Headphones
TDK has adopted Kleer wireless technology — which specializes in audio equipment. As a result, 16bit/44.1KHz became possible to leave the high-quality wireless transmission of voice data, so you can enjoy the same high-quality sound you would get with headphones in wireless headphones.
TDK's TH-WR700 are said to feature 32Ω impedance, 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, and 108 dB/mW sensitivity — better than most headphones available with bluetooth. The Kleer transmitter adapter, which has a 3.5mm input just so happens to fit perfectly on the iPhone (pointed out by other blogs and genius' alike). We don't think it's crazy or weird that companies release products that look as though they were designed just for the iPhone. My iPhone is my MP3 player, it's the only one I have, and it's the only one I plan on using — so it's nice to purchase products that fit its specs.
The TDK TH-WR700 will be available starting March 1 in Japan for $190. Research has failed me, and no word of international availability has been found.
VitraHaus
Over the past few years Vitra has aquired a wide-ranging Home Collection. The quantity and variety of objects by many different designers led to the idea of building a showroom to present the items to the public.
Herzog & de Meuron designe the VitraHaus to display the Vitra Home Collection. The building also has some additional space to be used as an exhibition venue for selected parts of the collection or even as an extension of the Vitra Museum itself. A shop, a cafe linked to the outside and conference rooms complete the program.
