Does Using Tumblr Make You a Tumblr Person?
Peter Vidani, Michael Rock, Mark Wigley and other designers take part in a round-table-turn-table at the Audi Forum in New York to discuss the implications of choreographing users and how invisible design should and can be. More Videos Here

A history of capturing the motion of the fight from experiments in motion:
From experimentsinmotion:
The digital stroboscopic image of a dancer above and the still from the video “Seaweed” by Tell No One both capture individual stages of movement in a single frame. Andy Warhol’s ‘Dance Diagram Series’ (1962) and the ‘Treatise On Quadrille Dancing’ (1819) notate the same complexity in a format that begins to approach something an architect might understand. Capturing the dance of car circulation, Kahn’s Traffic Study for Philadelphia could just as easily orchestrate a massive urban scaled ballet.
Tell No One’s video Seaweed above layers and partially freezes simple movements to create a moving sculpture that is both a structure and a dance.
Jordan Clark’s lo-fi experimental video on human movement presents a jaw-dropping and strangely relaxed vision of limits of the human body.

Architecture is usually thought of as static and permanent.The City of Mobil Services taught by Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twiley, inverts the question of the future of mobility in cities by looking at everything that is currently stationary and considering how the city itself can become more mobile.

[photo by Ivy Chan of a class trip to worksman Cycles]They are working closely with food truck fabricators and bikes builders to understand the technical and practical implications of moving architecture.[A pedi-sukkah, built atop a Worksman Cycle.]Given the difficulty of finding space in New York City, their studio will design new strategies for thinking about space and mobility that will open up new opportunities and potential for industry, commerce and culture.

Aircondition (2006) by Oliver Laric uses video processing tools to exhaustion displaying every frame of the sequence to expose intricate patterns of an otherwise ridiculous dance.

Martin Hiploltsteiner explores a similar technique through a series of studies that array film stills giving even simple motions complex three dimensional implications. His animation for the song Videotape by Radiohead inverts the concept of exposing the hidden complexity of motion and instead gives everyday architectural elements the ability to move, float and express the ennui of generic parking garage.
Both by exposing the hidden forms of motion and animating the inanimate, Laric and Hilpoltsteiner imagine impossible spaces where motion can be seen as a space. Harold Edgerton’s ‘Tennis Serve’ (1949) was able to capture the stages of motion but it does not explore three dimensional space in the same way as its contemporary descendants.
