My Anchorage
Here's "My Anchorage" a work from early 2001 that I just put on You Tube. It was part of the Massless Medium exhibition in the Brooklyn Anchorage, an amazing enormous and very cavernous space underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. This was the last time the space was used for exhibitions, for obvious bomb related reasons. The show was organized by the nice people at Creative Time. For this YouTube version I put "If I were a carp" by Final Fantasy as an impromptu soundtrack.
My Anchorage is my version of the space where the show took place.

Project for an underground city in the age of great contaminations
While on the subject of the great Gaetano Pesce, lets have a look at his "Project for an underground city in the age of great contaminations -A Comunal habitat for twelve persons" a project that needs no explaining because the title says it all. 


Pesce showed this at the legendary exhibition that I've blogged about in the past, "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape; Achievements and problems of Italian Design" at MOMA in April 1972.

Sleepless in Milan
I'm so behind on my blogging it's not even funny, or maybe it is. Milan was rather stressfull, I didnt even get a chance to wish my friend Ferda happy 40th birthday. And one night I couldnt sleep so natually I was browsing the closest bookshelf, and in the design books (it's Milan after all) I found these curiously fantastic items:
What do you do when you cant' sleep? You hoover of course, or at least you would if you had this prototype hoover by Studio Alchymia. Why cant I find a book on Alchymia, anywhere?
After a little hoovering, you take a rest on the city that never sleeps ( New York Sunset, Gaetano Pesce)
or you really just go to sleep on the Sit Down (get it?), also by Pesce. As Banana Yoshimoto would say, "Very Sleepable"
and finally you could have breakfast in the plexi dome that I have no info about, apart that it was on the cover of Interni, the magazine that published a lot of the really great work of the 70's - 80's, which is what all this is about really.

Animal Leader
Recently I read an extensive profile on Will Wright , designer of Sim City and Sims and the much talked about and upcoming Spore.
Spore is a game where you evolve your creature/avatar so that it survives and conquers, which sounds exactly like Animal Leader, the japanese only game that my friend Mai was obsessed with in the early 2000s'.
In Animal Leader you start life as a blank cube and had to evolve in to a more complex creature and take elements from your enemies in order to beat them. Just like architecture.
