Other side of fashion
Mata • January 27. 2010 • URBAN COMMUNICATION
We are in the end of January, it means that Berlin Fashion Week is over... but really... what means this event for normal people in Berlin? are they interested in the massive amount of strange people doing strange stuff in Berlin? do the notice the liters of perfume wasted everyday in the city? but I am sure they notice the Starbucks cups all over the place....Last sunday I took a small walk around Berlin Mitte.... and I found an amazing amount of Stabucks cups everywhere... I could not resist to take some pictures of them...

mobile phone orchestra
Bernhard • January 27. 2010 • URBAN COMMUNICATION
for all smart phone lovers and musicians, besides guitarists, drummers and singers, in the future we will have iphonists, too.stanford university students explore new ways to create music by manipulating the multimedia opportunities of their iPhones.
sound-wise, it reminds me of steve reich or philip glass.
