I don't know what it is but it's HUGE. I'm thinking either a giant candle pillar or some alien inspired torch lamp. I want it in my living room. Interested? This wonderful piece is part of Julian Göthe's exhibition Events During Flood at the Galerie Buchholz in 2008.

So many concepts and products. I wish I could live with all those products now. Some are coming soon. Some are a long ways off. It warms a technophile's glittery soul. Above is the lovely Nissan Eporo bot designed as a new traffic model. The bots travel in tight groups and avoid collision all based on the schooling behavior of fish.

For art sakes bio accessories need to be the next big trend. This public art exhibition by Ben Landau and Brittnay Veitch are supposed to put a little nature back in urban life. They consist head pieces each designed to simulate some closed loop cycle found in nature. For example, a bio mask that filters your carbon dioxide feeding plants which in turn release fresh air into the city.

Florentijn Hofman's solo show at Galerie West in Hauge Netherlands is a show after my heart. I adore plushie animals and I adore them even more when they're oversized, brimming with cotton and polyester filling.

The exhibit called "Dushi" features unnaturally large stuffed animals placed in various rooms of a house. The exhibit is supposed to highlight how these toys loose their childlike innocence once they become larger than life.

Umm, Mr. Hofman, I would revert to an a giggling drooling baby if I were placed in a room with these fun animals. Hell I may never leave! Who needs the real world anyways? All I ever seem to do is work.

Design Museum is celebrating London's large segment of creative people past and present with an exhibition studded with A-list designers like Zaha Hadid, Tom DIxon, and Paul Smith.

Speaking of which, Smith's created a rubbish bin for the city of London. The bunny bins encourage people to properly dispose their garbage by illuminating its ears every time you use it. If you live near Covent Garden or Holland Park, head on over and snap a few pics for me please!

I'm so excited about this year's SENSEWARE exhibition - it's taking place in Italy and already the innovations from Japan's amazing group of designers and scientists are mind boggling. If you don't know...

Tokyo Fiber SENSEWARE was started as a project to show to the world the merit's of Japan's fibers. Exhibitions were originally held in Tokyo and Paris. Senseware refers to materials or mediums that arouse a creative desire in people. An example from last year's exhibition was Sony's squishable TV.

Hit the jump to see explanations of the 6 projects featured above in the picture.

Submersed Songs is a sound installation that uses live goldfish to remix music fed from an MP3 player. A computer tracks the movements and proximity among each goldfish and constantly mashes-up two different songs recorded by different users. The two tracks are subjected thru different modification processes, building a real time continuity between the fish and the levels of distortion- which can vary from an intense reverberation to a simulation of hearing sound underwater.
