Yayoi Kusama has a new exhibit at the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane and it is a great one. This 82-year old women but still up and running. In 2002 she set up the  interactive children’s project, this exhibition is called obliteration room and is a part of that project. Interaction became an important aspect in Kusama’s work in the mid to late 60′s. In the beginning it was a white room, a perfect domestic australian environment. A white canvas ready to be obliterated. She let kids with thousand of coloured stickers decorate the room. In the pictures above you can see the colour explosion!

The Obliteration room is part of the exhibition: Look now, See forever and you can visit it at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane till 11 march 2012.

 

The smell of succes?

Olly is a robot that turns alerts, pings, tweets, likes etc. into the smell you choose. No more annoying buzzes, just the smell that makes you recognize the interaction with your computer. You can customize the Olly as much as you want, you can change the smell from coffee to apple, but you can also customize the design. Olly was founded by Mint Foundry.  Why do we want a smell for everything, why do we want buzzes to be more of an experience? Are they trying to create a positive feeling?

You could say this product is linked to the online/offline trend. We are getting lost in cyberspace and want to get back onto the real world. This product gives us a physical attachment.
