You're my last breathe
You're a breathe of fresh air to me
Hi, I'm empty
So tell me you care for me
You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms I feel
Sunshine
On a promise
A day dream yet to come
Time is upon us
Oh but the night is young
Flowers blossom
In the winter time
In your arms I feel
Sunshine
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you expect it as
A part of your destiny
I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience is shot
So I'm calling your bluff
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last
And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
But time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop
And the atmosphere is charged.
In you I trust.
And I feel no fear as I
Do as I must.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
Tempted by fear
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
And I can't wait
I've been empty too long
The time is now
The tender night has gone
And the time has gone
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young
The time is now.
Let's make this moment last.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last.

Capturing the movement
.jpg)
love, love, love this one
A Professor of Electrical Engineering, Harold Edgerton is considered more of a scientist than an artist. In the early 1930s, he became interested in photography’s scientific applications to study movement. Combining the stroboscopic process with the camera’s flash, Edgerton was able to photograph an entire range of movement that could not be perceived by the naked eye.

"I have been for three years baking cakes — and now I’m going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be." by Lady Gaga

Brit Insurance Designs of the Year 2010 (part 2)
Grcic's 360º family brings a playful but rational edge to the potentially dull subject of office furniture. Each piece has a 360º usage and is softly finished in epoxy resin. The task chair looks challenging, with an unconventional stick seat. In fact, it can be sat on in several ways, making this a lot more versatile than a standard chair.

What make the tiles stand up is his three dimensional quality, made possible by irregular forms which, when joined together, protrude form the wall. Made form wool, the flexible components are held together with an elemental yet easy-to-use system of rubber bands that not only works as a functional devise but also an aesthetic element. (...) Like much of the Bouroullecs' work, Clouds is designed to be at the service of the user.

Aware Laundry Lamp
AWARE Laundry Lamp is a combined drying rack and a lamp
AWARE Laundry Lamp is an attempt to combine positive symbols and activities such as hang-drying your clothes outside in the sun, with designing your own lampshade. Go even further, and make a statement with the kind of laundry you put on display. Through this feature, the design comments on the fact that 95 percent of the electricity used in a traditional light bulb is transferred to heat, and only 5 percent to light. Since the creation of AWARE Laundry Lamp, this type of matte lightbulb has been outlawed in the European Union and is not manufactured anymore. The design of the lamp encourages hang-drying instead of tumble-drying clothes, another alternative of drastically reducing electricity consumption on a large scale. Tumble dryers are one of the greatest consumers of electricity at home.

It is an exhibition but for me is a workspace... light-shadows create the perfect ambient for an office environment.

Ma - Ga - nna - Do - ga
Este no es otro texto denuncia, ni quiero justificar a nadie. Pero corren tantos post, new sensacionalistas sobre Madonna vs Gaga, Gaga vs Madonna, que uno se siente con ganas de decir algo.
Qué hemos de esperar de una cantante que reconoce que quería conseguir la fama por a toda costa y puso como título a su primer disco FAME. Ha sido una carrera meteórica y milimetrada que ha evolucionado desde un hit veraniego mundial Poker Face a un icono POP, añadiendo un cuidado estilismo orquestado por Haus of Gaga, su pizca de sexo y unas producciones cinematográficas para sus vídeos (formato que como consumo POPular parecía muerto).
El éxito lleva a que otros griten recelosos (jodidos) clamen en contra de uno... que las Perrys o Aguileras digan algo se comprende... porque les están quitando su parte del pastel. Pero dudo que a Madonna le afecte esto mucho. Si saltan en voces con su nombre de por medio es simplemente para llamar aún más la atención y no hace más que darle publicidad a la Miss Stefani. Y si, hay muchas comparaciones... italianas, una de Ciccone a Madonna, la otra de Joanne a GaGa, las dos rubias de bote...
Como si en una realidad paralela nos encontráramos esto le paso hace mucho a la de Michigan. Ella puede presumir de ser la primera en mucho, ha batido records, vendido millones de discos, compositora, escritora, directora, actriz... y es icono de iconos.
La Gaga reconoce sus fuentes de inspiración donde entran también la Britney y Aguilera. Donde ellas se quedaron puede que Gaga llegue pero aún es pronto para decirlo. Lo cierto es que se ha aprendido la lección al dedillo. Ahora que ya tiene la Fama, que ha sabido lidiar con los Monstruos que ella conlleva... ¿qué será lo siguiente?...
Her seeds from the avant-garde
Uno de los principales atractivos que transformaron a Zaha Hadid en uno de los grandes referentes de la arquitectura actual lo podemos encontrar en aquellas pinturas de las décadas del 80, principios de los 90. Futurismo, Constructivismo, Fauvismo, Expresionismo... Tantas semillas como base creativa, en una completa relectura de aquellas vanguardias de principios del siglo XX, desafiando al tiempo y a la gravedad.
One of the main attractions that Zaha Hadid transformed into one of the main references of the current architecture can be found in these paintings of the decades of 80s, early 90s. Futurist, Constructivism, Fauvism, Expressionism ... So many creative seed based on a complete reading of those vanguards of the early twentieth century, defying time and gravity.
