How do you spell change?

We need your help to show the breadth and depth of Barack Obama’s support and fight back against Republicans who accuse him of only representing college students and coffee shop liberals.

If you’re an artist or designer, help us by reinterpreting one letter of the alphabet in a way that represents what Obama’s candidacy means to you (specs are here).

If you’re a photographer, help us bring this alphabet to life by shooting Obama supporters from all walks of life wearing t-shirts with these letters printed on them (specs are here).

Everyone can help by using this site to send t-shirts and e-cards personalized with their own messages of hope and change (coming soon). And, of course, by registering to vote (you can do that here in the meantime).

Together, we can bring real change for all Americans to Washington.

If interested, please reply to letters@spellingchange.com
SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS: 6:00PM EST ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2008

Self-Sustainable Chair.

By Designer JooYoun Paek.

Artist and interactive designer, JooYoun Paek takes the cake on that front with her recently revealed Self-Sustainable Chair, a wearable piece of furniture which is a dress where the butt inflates into a chair through pumps in the shoes. Paek hopes the provocative art piece will “transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.Paek’s “chair” more closely resembles a wearable outfit than a piece of furniture and is is composed from a pair of shoes, pumps, and polyethylene.

IF the eco-friendly idea of falling asleep under the stars and roasting marshmallows around a campfire appeals to you, but the reality of pitching a tent and sleeping on bumpy ground does not, glamping, the new term being used for upscale — or glamorous — camping, could be your ideal green vacation.

Because air surrounds us and is invisible, many of us do not stop to think about it.
I wanted to create a place where air from different places and moments in our lives
can be shared and exchanged. The purpose is to make people think about how
important air is and capture memories. I am very passionate about appreciating air
and I think this website could make others reconsider air.

EepyBird’s Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.

Twenty-five disposable cameras were labelled with an emotion and sent to 25 participants. Each took a photo of that described feeling (such as “jealous”) then passed the camera to someone who made them feel that emotion, and the next participant continued the cycle. Postcards were returned to us at each step, describing the present and future custodian of each camera. The film as yet undeveloped, we keep these cameras as representations of a wide range of human emotion, captured and stored in an analog format.
