1960′s TV show replicating the Solomon Asch conformity experiment demonstrating the degree to which an individual’s own opinions are influenced by those of a majority group.
However, it’s worth noting that the ratio of people who conform really matters and crowd conformity decreases the moment one person decide to go against the crowd.

Little Free Library is an installatipon designed by architects Stereotank in partnership with the Architectural League of New York and Pen World Voices Festival. Ten designers were chosen to create one Little Free Library each in Downtown Manhattan. Stereotank was selected to design a Little Free Library at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral School in Nolita.
Reminds me of one of my favourite books, Zoom by Istvan Banyai.

SHOULD I DRINK THIS FUCKING BEER? [sic]. A fun way to discover (predominantly American) craft beer created by “a fan of good beer and wants to see it thrive.”
Why else? Because “Fuck You, InBev.”
(Wait, do I work for any InBev brands? …no? Cool. Umm, yeah, fuck you InBev!)
Seulbi, a Graduate in Industrial design at Rhode Island School of Design designed this wonderful burger take-out concept.
People nowadays tend to more rely on having take-out food because their eating habit has changed due to their busy life. However, despite the fact that a number of take-out containers have been designed, packages for take-out burger meal are not really developed so far.
Therefore, this package is designed to provide a more convenient way of take-out for fast food industry as well as its customers by designing handy carrier for take-out burger meal consisted of a burger, french-fries, and soda.
The carrier will reduce the volume by about 50% compared to that today because I tried to simplify the design and minimize the amount of paper used with a hook for French fries, a sleeve for a burger, and a hole for soda drink, which causes people to carry it easier, and more materials saving. It is one-handed, convenient, practical, and compact, so your hands can be more free by holding all in one.
Inspired by MC Escher, a brilliant architect constructs a stairwell that loops back into itself…
Or does he?
Well, no. It turns it’s no more than a very well made Kickstarter ‘proof of concept’ video for by Michael Lacanilao. Unfortunately the funding was unsuccessful, raising only $940 of it’s $12,000 goal. Probably due to the architect student’s inability to bend the laws of physics.

The Alternative Limb Project provides unique prosthetics to blend in with the body or stand out as a unique piece of art, reflecting the wearer’s imagination, personality and interests.
We will involve the wearer in all stages of the process from conception of ideas to the final work.
An alternative-style limb can help to break down social barriers, delight the eye and provide an unusual talking point.

These 3D printed mobiles are the result of a collaboration between Marco Mahler, a kinetic sculptor specializing in mobiles, and Henry Segerman a research fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne.
The mobiles are printed to order and thus will not run out of stock, which is nice.
