BENN AND DAN IN 1979 & 2010, London
compelled by the qualities and narrative-charged nature of vintage images, buenos aires-based photographer irina werning has started a series of portraits fittingly titled, ‘back to the future’. Largely consisting of diptychs, the project has subjects re-enact a childhood photograph from their past in their current image today. the result is a surreal, time traveling carbon copy that manages to capture a sense of the subject’s biography.
Alarmingly detailed in props, image quality, colour balance and expressions,the haunting portraits are at once nostalgic and charming, illustrating that – even with the inevitable effects of time – we are who we are; people change, but they don’t change.

as installation of the high-tech ‘acure’ vending machines continues throughout tokyo, designboom follows up on the devices, designed by japanese industrial designer fumie shibata of design studio s for japanese beverage company JR east water business.
the digital vending machine features a 47-inch touchscreen display with a camera mounted at its top. sensory data is interpreted by an internal processor to recognize the sex and estimate the age of an individual who approaches the device, displaying recommendations based on this data. selecting a product brings up additional information about it prior to purchase, and after the sale, the screen displays a ‘thank you’ message.
innovative for its use of targeted marketing through the visual analysis, ‘acure’ makes use of its ‘intelligent marketing’ system even when not in use by a customer, to display advertising imagery appropriate to the time of day, temperature, and season. for example, the product showcased shown on a cold morning might be a hot coffee, while on a sunny summer day, a glass of ice water or a soda with lime.

Two Legs One Heart
17 FebJohan Lindeberg’s BLK DNM
The Swedish fashion designer looked to De Thurah, whose surreal music videos for the likes of Fever Ray and James Blake he cites as an ongoing source of inspiration, to channel the brand’s downtown conceit: “I wanted the film to embody all of the qualities that I love about New York—its depth and nerve, its capacity to be a bit anarchistic, yet still human and inspiring.” Embracing a post-apocalyptic, spectral mood, the Danish director’s short outfits actors Iva Gocheva, Bogdan Kwiatkowski and Kate Lyn Sheil in lambskin motorcycle leather jackets, merino wool cardigans and sulfur-dyed denim for a tale that swings from indie intellectualism to dark fantasy.
