Peeta is a young Italian artist born in a small town near Venice. He entered the graffiti scene in 1993 and since then, he has been collaborating with some very important crews: the Paduan EAD, the FX crew and the RWK crew, both from NY. After having painted his graffiti all around Europe and America for a very long time, he has started also producing sculpures and canvases and exhibited them all around the world. The elaboration of his personal style comes from the intent of joining together traditional lettering with 3D painting. This experiment has finally resulted in giving life to a unique kind of visual rhythm, created by the intersecting lines between sections of conic, cylindrical and twisting surfaces.

Small Twistersculpture has been built using 3D modeling PC programs, and PVC plate assembly, polyester covering and final surface smoothing.Small Glimpse sculpture is part of a bigger project consisting of sculptures of the same shape using three different materials. The initial model was made using polyester covered cardboard sheets. Then constructed was one sculpture of PVC using the same process described before. Finally, three bronze copies were made using the investment casting technique. And one final copy, Small Glimpse Glossy, in plastic, using the same mold utilised for the bronze copies.

This was a multi-screen installation directed by Michael Belcher in collaboration with Vanguard Bots. It was featured at Milk Studios and was made for New York fashion house Public School for NY Fashion Week Winter 2012. It features Twin Shadow who made the instrumental soundtrack for the visuals.

Twin Shadow:

I met the men behind Public School briefly last year after a performance in New York. They reached out a few months later to see if I’d be interested in collaborating on the presentation of their Autumn/Winter clothing line, which they said had been inspired by my personal style.

Obviously flattered, I went to meet them at their studio. While we discussed the presentation of the line I tried on several of the pieces in the collection for which I noticed two things. Firstly, the quality and care put into the product was self-evident. Secondly, every piece fit like a bespoke garment.

After seeing the sincerity of the gentlemen behind Public School, I committed to writing music and appearing in the film for this project. I think this project encapsulates the essence of the clothing and the men involved; a beautiful balance of dirt cool and class, my two favorite things.

Hope you enjoy.

Naeem Juwan AKA Spank Rock comes from the wall-sweating, pipe-bursting, hip-grinding basements of the Baltimore Bass movement. After spending some time at Drexel University in Philly he linked up with the Diplo-powered Hollertronix crew and began crafting the type of live performances that have become underground legend.

Diplo introduced him to the cutting edge UK-based label Ninja Tune and in 2006, he released the seminal electro/rap/booty album YoYoYoYoYo with production partner Alex “XXXChange” Epton. The duo crafted a groundbreaking debut album that many credit as ground zero of the electro/rap movement. Along with Ronnie Darko, Chris Devlin and the sassy trash-talking MC Amanda Blank, the Spank Rock crew quickly set the blogs afire and become known for putting on some of the raunchiest, booty-shaking live shows in the world.

Spank Rock has toured with everyone from Beck to Bjork to the Beastie Boys, has made records with Kylie Minogue, Mos Def and Santigold, and remains one of the most enigmatic and electrifying performers in music today.

Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar has a renowned team of producers handpicked by Spank to up the ante from his critically acclaimed debut.

The Cube by Electrolux is a wondeful example of temporary, parasitic architecture. This compact structure houses a culinary experience conceptualized by Electrolux. It was developed and managed by Absolute Blue and designed by Park Associati. Designed to be placed in unexpected and dramatic European locations, it was launched in Brussels on April 1, 2011, where it sat atop of the Parc du Cinquantenaire for three months.

In its second location of the year, The Cube is now perched on the seventh floor on top of the roof of Number 1 Via Ugo Foscolo of Piazza del Duomo, in the heart of Milan. It was opened several days before Christmas of 2011 in Italy.

Dominated by Milan Cathedral, the Piazza is filled with impressive, monumental buildings. It is not only at the center of Milan, but it also has a historical, artistic, cultural and social importance; the Piazza is known as the place to mingle with the Milanese. The transparent and semi-transparent structure offers truly spectacular views of the Piazza del Duomo. The 18-person temporary restaurant and pavilion will be there until April 26, 2012, after which it will be reconstructed in another high-profile location in Stockholm or London.

Electrolux ensure guests enjoy a gastronomic experience that surprises and inspires with fantastic tastes and ideas presented in a unique setting. An intimate seating plan is retained for lunch and evening meals.

The design heritage of the Electrolux brand is reflected in the design of The Cube. Fully transparent and composed of glass surrounded by a white, laser-cut aluminum layer. On the floors, everything is white. The interior is white Corian™ with matte and glossy lacquered wood. The wooden floor and the carpet under the table give extra warmth and atmosphere. The outdoor terrace provides an exclusive view of the whole environment. The entire structure has an area of 150 square meters and weighs 60 tons.

UK producers, NERO, drop this sweet science-fiction inspired music video for their house-y dubstep track Must be the Feeling, off of the album, Welcome Reality. You gotta love it when the sounds and visuals come together in this fashion. The video takes place in future Los Angeles and the film/commercial-ubiquitous, 2nd Street Tunnel in DTLA, has a hearty cameo. The video was directed by Warren Fu with visual effects by Bonnie Brae Studio. Über cool stuff.

Download some of the remixes below.

The young assholes from the Wolf Gang camp drop their first song and music video off the next group release. This is Rella off the next Odd Future album, The OF Tape Vol. 2, which drops March 20. It’s comically offensive and delightfully absurd.

The video was directed by Tyler himself and features Hodgy as some kind of crotch-laser shooting Halo soldier, Domo as a hood bully, and Tyler as a coke-Hooverin’ centaur. Totally predictable.

Here’s Yasiin Bey’s (formerly known as the badass/actor/MC/poet…Mos Def) 99% response to the ill-timed (Recession, Anybody?!) and deliciously self-indulgent, bragadocious ballad, Niggas in Paris. Occupy the Throne?

Listen to and DOWNLOAD the raw, scathing and poignant freestyle by Yasiin. No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative. It gets the people going. Don’t get caught up in no throne. Ball so hard.

Papa Blue Ivy and Yeezy, your move.

That shit cray.

UPDATE: Check out the new (LOW BUDGET) video above.

Last week, OMA released renderings of the Taipei Performing Arts Centre.  True to the OMA (recycled) aesthetic, the Performing Arts Centre is made up of volumes intersecting at unpredictable angles accompanied by various surface treatments. They broke ground and construction began last week. The building is scheduled to open in 2015.

Watch an animation explaining the design of the Taipei Performing Arts Centre at Vimeo.

Construction begins today on the OMA-designed Taipei Performing Arts Center in Taipei, Taiwan. President Ma Ying-jeou, together with Mayor Hau Lung-pin, representatives from the Taipei City Government, OMA, and local design partner Artech Architects will take part in the groundbreaking ceremony. For a city passionate about theatre, TPAC is a new kind of venue – adaptable, efficient, and intimately connected with the urban fabric.

The design of TPAC, comprising a 1,500-seat theatre and two 800-seat theatres, is the result of investigation into the internal workings of theatre. Plugged into a central cube clad in corrugated glass, each theatre shares backstage space and mechanical facilities. Two of the three theatres can be combined into a Super Theatre with a 60-metre long stage for experimental new forms of theatre.

Lifted from the ground, the central cube allows the street to extend both under and up into the building, drawing people into a public loop where backstage workings that are normally hidden from view – rehearsals, technical spaces – are made visible. TPAC aims to let the audience experience new elements of theatrical production at the same time as inviting a broader public to engage with the performing arts.

Here is the official video for Diplo and Oliver Twizt‘s track, Go.
Enjoy.

Go music video is the extension in motion of the single’s cover artwork by Pinar&Viola, released in November 2011. Driven by the hypnotic song, Pinar&Viola created hypersonic greyhounds racing through a vibrantly odd WWW-landscape, with a hand-crafted virtual parkour in ecstatic browsers and buttons, viral internet-icons and digital dust windstorms.
