The Lo Res Project makes new renderings of objects by decreasing the resolution... so a Lamborghini starts life as you know it and slowly ends up as a representative shape...

Boxbots
JK Keller is making an awesome collection of Boxbots. All the Boxbots created are 2D-based, using only lines and shapes that are in the original packaging to guide what the BoxBots will look like.

Some random bits
A dude in the office just emailed me some bits... not sure where from so can't reference / link up so apologies but some neat ideas...
A tent in the shape of a car so you can pitch / park up anywhere
A bike that folds up into a ruck sack that beats Bromptons hands down
An Imperial Walker baby buggy which needs no more explanation 
And finishing with the portability theme - a seat you can wear 
A toy that simulates the bursting of bubble wrap bubbles

The Storker Project
This is Mark Jenkin's latest street art project... cellotape babies hit the street....
And here is the blurb:
The STORKER PROJECT is a species propagation movement by STORKER seeking to incite select individuals from the public at large, perhaps you. If while passing by one you feel strange sensations in your nipples or fingertips, adopt the infant, breast feed, and give it plenty of TLC. It will gradually mature to a full size Tape Man or Woman to co-habitate with you and eventually take you to the Glazed Paradise (or possibly oust you from your home).
