.Gary Farlow and his team of 10 are able to transform the body’s vasculature, and nearly all of its other parts, into an ornate borosilicate glass sculptures, from the heart’s ventricles to the brain’s circle of Willis for science and medical training.
Their anatomically correct models can be designed to simulate blood flow, teach placement of catheters and angioplasty devices, or simply test or demo new surgical gizmos. If it wasn’t for the 25,000 dollar price tag, this might even work as a high-class Halloween brandy decanter.
NYT : FRENDS LAUNCHES NEW LOOK
.Mage Design’s latest creative partner, Frends, launches a revamped women’s headphone collection in Apple stores today; with an introduction on behalf of the New York Times‘ online publication, “The Get”.
Helmed by co-owner and founder Keir Dillon, the Frends team worked closely alongside Mage Design to develop a “refined and stylish” headphone which “exudes luxury and hints at grace”. This entirely fresh direction for the brand, aided in part by their ambassador, model/actress Noot Seer, was developed by our team through a series of concept presentations and final design renderings (seen below).

ART GAME
.This recent work by Leo Caillard is a reflection on the problem of our new digital world. “Currently, at any stage of its creation, any idea or concept is digitally adapted. What will be retained in the future? What will happen to all of these billions of megabytes we
stock on computers? In 10 years? In 500 years? Colliding the esthetic of modern minimalist Apple products
with the classical architecture of the Louvre Museum, the viewer is forced to assess the question of new creation in our modern society.”
Alan Turing Edition Monopoly
.An Alan Turing Edition Monopoly set has now been officially launched by Bletchley Park, the place where Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GCCS) at Bletchley Park, Britain’s code breaking centre, during World War II.
In this special edition of Monopoly, the squares around the board and revised Chance and Community Chest cards tell the story of Alan Turing’s life along with key elements of the original hand-drawn board, which the great mathematician played on with a young William in the early 1950s – and lost.
Turing is perhaps best known for his part in breaking the Nazis’ Enigma code with the team at Bletchley Park, but as you well know his other largest legacy is having created the mathematical models during his time at King’s College, Cambridge, that went on to become one of the cornerstones of computer science. As a small tribute to this fact Google have kindly bought the first 1,000 units as a donation to the Bletchley Park Trust.
Hopefully a little something to make you smile as you read this blog post on your Turing machine!
