'The Last Shift Office Chair' must be the ultimate Halloween office addition. Work by designer Chairbox. Who's taking a seat?   The chair design was initially created as a warning against the detrimental health effects of working long days in a sitting position. And as a more general statement on overworking culture.   Funnily enough surrealist painter Magritte created a painting in the 1950's that depicted a sitting coffin (I added it in the comments). Pretty much like these designs, without the wheels. Designer Chairbox stated not to have known the painting.   Great minds must think alike and although he didn't know the painting, a relevant reminder to visit art exhibits more often to inspire your creativity.

AR Gameboy portal. Built by 3d artist Ian Curtis. The future will be retro.   Cool take on combining a nostalgic aesthetic and the latest AR. In a world beyond the slick AI imagery of the last years, increasingly expect creative work containing merges of the new with the old. Of which the latter could also consist of early AI imagery.   At this moment we're 10 years beyond DeepDream. The Google vision app that became the first viral creative AI explosion. Enabling users to rebuild images from puppies, flowers, and lizards. Can remember the excitement of back then and had the luck to build an art installation with it soon after its launch (for the office of Dutch housing website Funda). 10 years ago… Just like a Gameboy, Early AI will soon be retro.     PS. According to Ian Curtis, the setup in the video is built combining the Quest 3 with AR apps 8th wall and A-frame. Find more of his work in the comments.

There's no going back... robots are evolving fast. Clone just introduced "Torso," a bimanual android that brings us one step closer to human-like machines. And yes... it does look like something straight out of Terminator... just in time for Halloween! Jokes aside, Clone's Torso android is actually a remarkable piece of engineering. This android mimics human shoulders, neck, and arms with incredible precision using artificial muscles. It features a full range of human-like movements thanks to its complex joint system, including the sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and glenohumeral joints (basically, all the parts that make our shoulders move). The valve matrix that controls all this fits right inside the ribcage, just like a real torso! Now, why should we be excited and not terrified? This tech isn’t just about making robots to replace factory jobs or automate processes. Clone’s vision includes using these advances in fields like prosthetics and rehabilitation too. Which is pretty awesome! Follow me Endrit Restelica for more tech stuff.

ACTS not ADS! Should #brands be creating pop-ups that have a legacy? So many brands create something that comes and goes within a matter of days. What if the popup could somehow become a permanent installation that benefitted the community way after the event. Below: With the help of Nike, Stephane Ashpool of the French streetwear label Pigalle collaborated with the creative agency ILL STUDIO to transform a modest basketball court in Paris into a work of art. #brandexperience #advertising #marketing #councils #urbandesign #thoughtleadership #brands

Future of Combat sports? Only in #VR! Immersive technology allows us to experience dangerous situations in a safe environment. You can train, experiment, and simulate combat sports without physical confrontation. This is especially helpful in combat sports focusing more on technique than physical strength. You can also challenge your opponent across the globe, or train with the distant master. Of course, that virtual environment cannot fully substitute physical training, but it can be a nice addition to the journey of mastering combat sport.
