Fantasy Art by Japanese Artist Miho Hirano

Miho Hirano is a Japanese artist living in Abiko, Chiba.  She is a graduate of Musashino Art University.  The fantasy world Miho paints is inhabited by ephemeral women who seem to be merging with their environment as their hair flows into flowering tree limbs, bird filled bushes, and drifting seaweed.  Not knowing all the cultural significance of the natural world in her paintings makes it hard to truly appreciate her work, but it is easy to fall in love with the wonderful women and world that she has created.  Miho Hirano’s work is in a group display at the Jiro Miura Gallery in Japan until August 15, 2015.  Thanks to Hi-Fructose.  You can see Miho Hirano’s portfolio at mihohirano.strikingly.com

The Carved Photographs Of Michel Lamoller

German artist Michel Lamoller takes multiple photographs of the same place at different times, then prints and layers them, physically carving them into one image, sculpting two-dimensional space into three-dimensions. By then photographing the transformed image Lamoller returns the work to two-dimensions, playing with space and volume, echoing the compression of time and place in his work. The deconstructed figures in the resulting photographs are a visual reminder that people are always changing and never fully revealed. via

Lift-Bit IoT Sofa Allows You to Make Different Configurations Simply by Hovering Your Hand Over The Seat

Lift-Bit is an IoT Sofa where user can digitally transform into endless configurations. Designed by Carlo Ratti Associati with the support of Vitra, he claims this is world’s first Internet-of-Things sofa and full-size prototype will be unveiled during this year’s Milan Design Week.

Lift-Bit features modular, digitally-reconfigurable furniture system that allows you to turn a sofa into a chair, a chaise lounge, a bed, a lounge room, or any other cool configurations according to your needs. The system consists of a series of individual, upholstered stools where each one is motorized with a linear actuator, allowing each stool to be raised or lowered. Even the height can be doubled in just a few seconds.

Using a simple gesture as easy as hovering your hand in the air over the seat, you can control Lift-Bit. Even from distance, you can use the mobile app to control this cool sofa. The app comes with a series of predetermined 3D shapes and a tool to create new, dynamic combinations. One cool feature of Lift-bit is the ability to start shape-shifting after not used for a long time, encouraging you to connect with the sofa again. When assembled in large compositions, Lift-Bit system can be further enhanced, let’s say 2 elements create a chair, but 4 elements can make a chaise lounge, a sofa can be created with 9 elements. Imagine when you have dozens of these elements, you can create many cool settings.
