Leather ballet flats, with a true nod to the classic pointe shoe. MM6 Maison Margiela are integrating more of the mainline atelier's truly signature, avant garde spirit into their accessories lines. A slick, low, cylindrical heel, little bow, and tone on tone numeric signature on the fat elastic. Half sizes, please size down.

Presenting as a work jacket, and it could for sure do the job, but this one has a stylized vibe. Lined in full, faux fur for a luxe feel. We're talking real foxy style, like Upper East Side Broadway Diva Style. The canvas is easy and flexi. Zip up, with pockets and curved neckline. With their always beautiful line. What a coat. It's pretty oversized, so estimating the 38 can fit up to a men's medium. Unisex.

Devona is 5'6" and wears a US 4-6. She is wearing the 38 in this image.

Over 100,000 titles are housed in the Kunstenbibliotheek, which brings together the library collections of KASK & Conservatorium, SMAK, Design Museum Gent, STAM, HISK, and Gentle Gidsen, with a focus on contemporary art, art theory, design, landscape architecture, and urbanization. Kunstenbibliotheek also contains a special collection of artists' books and the collection Karel Geirlandt. 

Willem Oorebeek (NL), artist, whose work is based in the myriad techniques associated with the printing process. Multiplicity, seriality, and reproduction are some of the recurring themes emphasized. Image and language are brought together as comparative tools and as combined forms as a way of revitalizing the nature of representation, in both figure and symbol. Monolith +++ acts as the catalogue from his 2008 exhibition (Lisbon, PT), with text by Wouter Davidts and Camiel van Winkel.

The Monty Python books were made to give the show a life outside the screen. In the 1970s, consumer-recording devices didn't exist, so if you missed a show you missed a show. No re-runs. One vital element of these books is the way in which the collective energies of humor, performance, sound, music, and set design come together and is translated from a live format to a still or flat one. The books are also important examples of how documents or support publications relate to an existing institution, but can exist independently in its own form.

The Monty Python books, c. 1971–1974. Most were designed by the great Derek Birdsall* with Katy Hepburn, but this edition is done by Hepburn herself. As an aside, Birdsall became a member of Monty Python for a period while they made the books. We once read that making him part of the team was one economic model they established in order to get him paid. Secondhand paperback. 

*Birdsall speaks more about Hepburn in this great interview.

The endorsements on the back cover are the best synopsis, though:

“Its back is too hard” —F. R. Gumby

“I laughed a lot” —S. J. Perelman (no relation at all) 

“For me perhaps the finest book written in the English language since Bleak House” —
F. R. Leavis (in 'Talking about Middlemarch,' 1958)

“Pass the butter” —Coleridge (Table Talk, 1816)

“Super”—David Frost (from and idea by Anthony Jay; additional material by: Austin Mitchell, Robson and Macpharlane, Alan Hutchinson, Stephen Jay Greenblatt, Larry Cryer, John Watt, Roger Hancock, Kenneth Being, Roger Last, George Clarke, Parnell and Holocaust, Len Ashley, Terry Bayler, Brian Tipping Codd, Johnnie Booth, Madge Ryan, Bruce Hebbern, Syd Lottery, Terry Hughes, David Paradine, Christopher Thynne, S. Bedford, Sheridan Morely, Tim Brooke-Taylor, William Wright, Neil Shand)

“Bottom” —A. J. Ayer (age 4) 

Definitely one of the favorite dresses by Nancy Stella Soto to have graced these floors. Khaki and black make for a classic combination, as does this looong A-line silhouette. Hidden side seam pockets, and wooden button closure all down the back on a neat placket. Hand-made pleats adorn the sleeves, ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired.

NB: The pleats on this garment were made by hand. The fraying of the pleats is intentional and an integral part of the design. There are options to limit the fraying, such as commercial products Fray Check or Liquid Stitch.

Avant-garde and easy to wear don't always reside harmoniously, but in this case, they do. These pull on trousers have side pockets and a loose (but not baggy) fit. Almost 3D in appearance thanks to the hand-made pleats along the bottom that are ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired. Elastic waist for easy fit. An updated way to wear all-black.

NB: The pleats on this garment were made by hand. The fraying of the pleats is intentional and an integral part of the design. There are options to limit the fraying, such as commercial products Fray Check or Liquid Stitch.

Pleats are a bit of a misnomer in this case, as these are small square pleats, non-traditional. Very interesting texturally, and a great way to give black some dimension and interest. This dress can be worn forward (v-neck) or backward (high neck), and also as a long tunic layered over trousers or skirt.

In Nin Studio's signature curved pleating on front and back, the panels create a gentle motion for the eye to follow. Below the knee length. Made with upcycled poly, two side slits.

These dresses are very stretchy. Our sizing recommendations:

Small = US 0-6
Medium = US 8-10
Large = US 12-14

Something unusual with this formulation, lots of unusual notes and ingredients.

The shape of this t-shirt adds a new dimension to the other white versions you may have. The cotton is a medium weight rib for structure, a higher, trimmed neckline and longer sleeve for finishing. A little more formal.

A full-coverage bottom, the reinforced waistband hits mid waist, just at the naval.

Subtly curved across the chest for more flattering fit, medium-high cut leg, full-coverage bottom.

A refined classic, this crisp Japanese cotton is a year-round wardrobe staple, in a one-size silhouette.

Two signals of varying frequency and phase result in a perpetual infinity, drawing and redrawing over and over. The familiar shapes are called Lissajous curves after mathematician Jules Antoine Lissajous and his “beautiful machine” of 1855.

Devised to draw a picture of two superimposed systems falling into and out of phase, the machine was constructed from a pair of tuning forks placed at right angles, each with a mirror attached. A light source is focused through a lens, bouncing off the first onto the second and projecting to a large screen. As the tuning forks are struck, simple vibrations move the mirrors in a regular oscillating pattern. The projected image forms the strange and beautiful curves of a Lissajous figure.

A recent opinion piece in The New York Times (“Scorched Earth” by Robert L. Park) eulogized the political death of what was derisively called “Al Gore’s Screensaver.”

Since his vice presidency, Gore has actively advocated The Trius Project — a satellite to be put into orbit around the Earth on a geosynchronous path (at position Lagrange 1) which would send back live images of both the whole Earth and the full Sun. This project was intended to feed a series of real-time displays, installed as screensavers on computers in U.S. public schools.

Al Gore woke up one morning wondering if it would be possible to beam a live continuous image of the full Earth back from space. And, would that image inspire people with the urgent need to care for our planet much as the 1972 Apollo 17 portrait of the whole Earth had crystallized the Ecology movement? According to NASA, this picture (better known as The Blue Marble) is the most widely distributed photograph in existence. The image offers a portrait of the Earth as a small, self-contained whole system floating alone in the infinite nothing of space.

While living with William Burroughs at the Beat hotel on Gît-le-Coeur, Paris, and with the aid of Cambridge mathematician Ian Somerville, poet Brion Gysin designed a simple paper cylinder with periodic apertures surrounding a bare light bulb placed on a rotating turntable at 78 rpm.

The resulting flickering light repeats at a constant frequency between 8 and 13 Hz matching the brain’s alpha-waves present in deep relaxation, such as drifting into sleep. When a viewer closes their eyes, sits close to the machine, and the turntable is started, the flickering light induces waves of color and repeating geometric patterns that form and re-form in the mind’s eye. Ian Somerville described the experience in a letter to Gysin:

Visions start with a kaleidoscope of colors on a plane in front of the eyes and gradually become more complex and beautiful, breaking like surf on a shore until whole patterns of color are bounding to get in. After awhile the visions were permanently behind my eyelids and I was in the middle of the whole scene with limitless patterns being generated around me.

Unlike a pharmacological trip, the experience ends when the user opens their eyelids. Gysin called his vision machine for closed eyes the Dreamachine.

Given the most commonly used criteria of *utility* for software, it’s not surprising that the screensaver is a debased form. It does nothing, it says nothing and it takes you nowhere. Instead it offers a quiet, even ambient portrait of a system — a simple image, a complex algorithm, and an ever-changing picture of their interaction.

Still there may be something to doing nothing. The computer, Alan Turing’s universal machine tirelessly capable of emulating the behavior of any other tool, is finally given a rest. After three minutes or so of nothing, the screensaver kicks in and the software produces a silently reconfiguring image of a system falling into and out of phase, automatically generating a fleeting picture of interference and coordination on your computer screen. Perhaps there is something left to save.

The computer is already a hypnotic device. Staring at a fixed focal length, scrolling, and swiping all induce what hypnotherapist Daniel Ryan calls “subtle learning states.” And on the screen, what we repeatedly learn is a bent set of values including ravenous consumerism, preposterous ideas of hierarchy, race, gender, beauty, and spirituality. We consume these more deeply than we realize.

Hypnotists have used pendulums, repeating sounds, vanishing points, particular vocal cadences, and a variety of other means to produce a state of consciousness and brain activity marked by calm focus and extra sensitivity to suggestion. These tools facilitate what's called “induction.”

Can we use the screen to hypnotize in a kinder way? To prompt specific eye movements, to pulse at certain rhythms, and invoke gestures that calm, or heal, or produce clarity of mind? In EMDR therapy, left-right eye movement has been used with restorative messaging to successfully treat post traumatic stress disorder. Extruding the spiral and making it breathe, this screensaver attempts a similarly benevolent induction.

In 1965, Bruno Munari designed a small black box—the austere 15-cm steel cube housed four aluminum cones, each painted half-red and half-green and set to spin at four distinct speeds on an 18-minute cycle to produce a very slowly turning composite color moving from red to green. Munari called it the Tetracono and its function was to show forms in the process of becoming:

"The art of the past has accustomed us to seeing nature as static: a sunset, a face, an apple, all static. People go to nature looking for images such as these static things, whereas an apple is in fact a moment in the process from appleseed to tree, blossom, fruit."

Tetracono was created as an artists' multiple designed for industrial production and published by Danese Milano. But only 10 were ever made. (An additional run of 100 was produced without motors.) Few sold, and by commercial accounts, the product was a flop. Perhaps it was just ahead of its time.

50 years later, we've moved from the industrial production of objects to the post-industrial production of information. Tetracono was already a post-industrial product—manufactured in steel and aluminum, its purpose was to produce a constantly changing image.

From a small black box to computer softwear, Tetracono is *now* available again.

In the liner notes for Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978), Brian Eno lays out his strategy for an ambient music. He recounts being laid up in bed with a broken leg at his home when a visitor put a new record on the stereo for him to enjoy. She left with the volume of the stereo much too low, causing the music to merge with all of the other sounds in the room. Stranded in his bed and unable to adjust the volume, Eno began to enjoy the effect of such quiet music and realized that music could be made as a serious background — a carefully considered ambience meant to be largely ignored.

Ten years later, in an interview with PC Magazine, Brian Eno picked up the thread of an ambient composition. To his interviewer’s dismay, he claimed that the only useful quality of computers is their potential as semi-automated compositional systems. He confronted the interviewer, stating that “the only interesting thing about computers is screensaver software.” Software used to move large chunks of data around (such as video editing, page layout or even word processing) were all wrong — the transformative power of software was its ability to create real-time models that automatically generate endless variations.

Three minutes of doing nothing, then everything goes black. In 1983, John Socha wrote the first screensaver software to preserve the image quality of computer displays. Published in Softtalk magazine in 1983 and named SCRNSAVE, the simple program turned the user’s screen to black after three minutes of inactivity (the time could be adjusted only by recompiling the program).

Personal computers were becoming affordable and popular, but their high-contrast green phosphor cathode-ray screens were subject to burn-in, where light intensity in one part of the screen left behind a permanent mark. SCRNSAVE was designed to eliminate these ghost-images and preserve the computer’s screen, coining the term and introducing a new software genre along the way.

Dutch graphic designer Karel Martens has made clocks for years. Starting somewhere around 1968, Karel attached new faces to existing clock mechanisms to produce graphic compositions, which by their nature, are constantly changing. This screensaver works the same way.

Based on a wall clock designed by Karel for his exhibition at P! (New York), the screensaver software uses three yellow and blue spinning disks to display the hours, minutes, and seconds of the current time. It does very little, other than spin contentedly. But, on the way, the passing of time produces a collection of graphic arrangements as so many discrete moments.

Recently, it was suggested that Karel's persistent interest in clocks was a symptom of working on his own for many years and that a clock might just be a symbol for “the long gestation period of independent ideas.”

What happens when a time-tested, old school performance shoe company crosses paths with two new gen, style-curious writers with open minds and sore feet? You get the Swagtooth Lo Purple Earth, a seriously technical shoe masquerading as a pair of goofy, Whole Earth-y dad kicks.

But they aren't just. These are all-gender, waterproof shoes that can withstand 20,000+ steps a day in real comfort. Waterproof but breathable, for trails or streets, the Swagtooth is modeled off Obōz's time-tested Sawtooth II Low, and utilizes their proprietary B-DRY waterproof/breathable membrane insole that molds to each individual pair. The only directive for these shoes are that they be worn equally with ripstop hiking pants as they are with lacy bell bottoms.

André Kertész (1894-1985) was one of the most inventive, influential, and prolific photographers in the medium's history. This small volume, first published in 1971, became one of his signature works. Taken between 1920 and 1970, these photographs capture people reading in many parts of the world. Readers in every conceivable place―on rooftops, in public parks, on crowded streets, waiting in the wings of the school play―are caught in a deeply personal, yet universal, moment. Kertész's images celebrate the absorptive power and pleasure of this solitary activity and speak to readers everywhere. Fans of photography and literature alike will welcome this reissue of this classic work that has long been out of print. 68 duotone photographs

Secondhand paperback.
