Conductor Dream
 Interval Research, IDEO and Moto Development Group, Inc. As an exploration into new musical instrumentation, the digital synthesizer takes simple gestures from the hands and maps them into a rich set of sound control parameters. Echoing the form of a cello, it is both robust and portable. From IDSA |

  i think they took the consumer feedback a little too literally. nike is known as the incarnation of satan's spawn and i'm surprised that it isn't more....slick. the lack of seductive elements makes me feel as they don't have their heart fully into creating sustainable products.

   Educational and decorative construction sets. Geometric construction sets made of die-cut translucent plastic for kids (and adults) and geodesic playground sets made of plywood "that assemble in a variety of ways to provide larger structures.". The plastic clusters can be assembled in several ways and used as decorative sculpture whereas the play structures are solid play rooms that can be assembled in minutes. They'll be part of Gregg Fleishman Studio's exhibit at CA Boom II. + greggfleishman.com

 SPECIAL REPORT -- GET CREATIVE! Get Creative! How to build innovative companies The Knowledge Economy as we know it is being eclipsed by something new -- call it the Creativity Economy. Even as policymakers and pundits wring their hands over the outsourcing of engineering, software writing, accounting, and myriad other high-tech, high-end service jobs -- not to mention the move of manufacturing to Asia -- U.S. companies are evolving to the next level of economic activity. What was once central to corporations -- price, quality, and much of the left-brain, digitized analytical work associated with knowledge -- is fast being shipped off to lower-paid, highly trained Chinese and Indians, as well as Hungarians, Czechs, and Russians. Increasingly, the new core competence is creativity -- the right-brain stuff that smart companies are now harnessing to generate top-line growth. The game is changing. It isn't just about math and science anymore. It's about creativity, imagination, and, above all, innovation.

 andrea zittel is a sculpture artist who makes sustainable living structures, among other things. she once built an island for her and her friends to live on! i learned of her in my postmodernism class, in one of those "art in the 21st century" documentaries from PBS. i think her work is amazing. would it fit here, then? www.zittel.org   here are images of the island:   she also makes clothes: uniforms
