Into Time is a new amazing piece from Rafaël Rozendaal. At first it might only seem as a living coloured gradient screen, but then you start clicking around and the colours split up into more and more blocks. Stunning.

If you liked this, then you MUST see this other fantastic piece from Rafaël – From The Dark Past .

These beautiful abstract landscape paintings are not actually paintings, but photos manipulated with Flash.
The artist behind Quasimondo describes it like this: “automatic subdivision based on details in the underlying image. Areas with more detail get divided in smaller pieces.”

So this is a pretty clever way for McDonald’s to take part in Fashion Weeks around the globe.
McFancy is an upmarket temporary McDonald’s store that, according to The Cool Hunter’s Access, should launch at Fashion Weeks in London, NYC, Paris, Milan, Sydney and Hong Kong.
McFancy is part art installation, hot spot and, of course, a restaurant that offers a tradional McDonald’s menu but packaged in a playful and stylish way that will definitely attract the highly desirable and influential consumers that attend Fashion Weeks more than the usual McDonalds packaging.

These retro graphics are inspired by the research of sociologist Bruno Latour . The idea is to show what is the marketing, the sociology and relationship behind the different Apple products.
Made by Rétrofuturs and Stéphane Massa-Bidal. Tight style!
