Chris Speed is a British artist/researcher who investigates the relation between space, time and architecture through conceptual approaches.

The Random Lift Button is a project in which Speed installed an R button in an elevator. By pressing it, people are taken to a random floor.

The Random Lift Button was apparently installed in two lifts in Portland Square at the University of Plymouth, UK. Are they still functional? Did anyone ever try one of them?

Related elevator art: The floor of the elevator (Televator) at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz animates when it’s in motion. Coincidentally, it’s made by Roy Ascott who - like Chris Speed - is also affiliated with Plymouth University.

Living in Texas, we’ve seen our fair share of cacti. So it goes without saying that we were intrigued to hear of the Urban Cactus, an architectural project in Rotterdam. Designed by UCX Architects, the future housing project will accommodate 98 residential units within its 19 floors. Because it sits on a harbor, the architects decided that the tower needed a natural “green” image – which has manifested itself in a stacked set of rotated, swoopy plates.

Yes, multi touch screen’s featured once more, because this is the most awaited technology right now for me. Watch the video please if you have the time, where New York University’s Jeff Han explains this system and what it can do. Amazing.

I’ve always wondered about how much electricity the dancing people would generate overnight, while enjoying my drink at Godet. Now it’s coming to life. Enviu, an environmental NGO for young people, is working together with architectural firm Döll to create a truly sustainable nightclub. The club they envision will feature energy-generating dance floors (excellent [...]

One of the best & cheapest innovation that I’ve seen this year is the Gorillapod. It’s the most accessible and easy to use tripod ever, and the price is only 25$. Sheesh. Go buy it.
