    Fitting Not (Room Two)

    Last night, I've received a nice email from Dragos

    Olea (Apparatus 22), where I had all the info on

    their latest show.

    ---

    Produced in neon, a phrase encircles the oval

    mirror in the red velvet fitting room. Signaling

    feelings divorced from the body, the

    straightforward text about failures of shopping astherapy highly preached by numerous lifestyle

    magazines and personal advisers is glaring.

    No matter how beautiful clothing is, or how

    alluring its promises, there are moments whenshopping loses any power of overcoming emotional

    decay or painful crises.

    Room Two is part of the Fitting not series of

    three installations unveiling moments of truth

    which could surface from the cracks of the

    blueprint-of-enhanced-reality that is the fitting

    room of a fashion store. The capsule-like fitting

    rooms resemble the escapist settings of luxury

    shopping. The other two capsules from the series

    deal with over-and-under use of language for a

    particular rendering of the future in fashion and

    with hypnotizing strategies of seduction employed

    by the fashion and beauty industries.

    Money can't buy my love?

    It is often said that money can't buy love.

    But trying telling that to a wealthy Indian man

    who splashed out 14,000 on a solid gold shirt inthe hope it will attract female attention.

    Money-lender Datta Phuge 32, from Pimpri-

    16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold

    Sukhumvit 39

    Royal College of Art student Gabriele Meldaikyte

    has designed a set of interactive exhibits for a

    museum of iPhone gestures.

    "There arefive multi-touch gestures forming the

    language we use between our fingers and iPhone

    screens," says Meldaikyte. "This is the way we

    communicate, navigate and give commands to ouriPhones."

    Grand Hotel et des Palmes

    Heated Discussions...

    -image: Il Minotauro accusa pubblicamente sua

    madre, 1948-

    Last night I was caught in a heated discussion on

    this artist named Fabrizio Clerici (see imageabove).

    I never heard about him, but I understood that he

    has some kind of religious cult with passionate

    followers who are ready to do anything to defendhis honor.

    Lots of interesting images (he did), although he

    seems to me a cute secondary character

    (compared to the real masters).

    Anyway, here you have a summary on him:

    Fabrizio Clerici was born in Milan on May 15, 1913.

    In 1920 he moved with his family to Rome and

    graduated with a degree in architecture in 1937.

    He was considerably influenced by ancient

    monuments and both Renaissance and Baroque

    painting and architecture. As a student he

    attended conferences held by Le Corbusier in

    Rome, and in 1936 he befriended Alberto Savinio,

    who introduced him to Surrealism. He moved to

    Milan at the end of the 1930s and associated

    himself with Filippo de Pisis and Giorgio de

    Chirico. At that time he devoted himself to both

    architecture and drawing.

    Smoky Mountains

    This is a fantastic story. How a single person (mr

    Sequoyah), illitterate, invented a complete

    alphabet from scratch.

    Sequoyah (Ssiquoya, as he signed his name,

    or Se-quo-ya, as his name is often spelled

    today in Cherokee) (c. 17701840), named in

    English George Gist or George Guess, was aCherokee silversmith.

    In 1821 he completed his independent creation of

    a Cherokee syllabary, making reading and writing

    in Cherokee possible.

    This was the only time in recorded history that a

    member of a non-literate people independently

    created an effective writing system.

    Was Invented)

    Yesterday I've received a message from Davide

    Sacconi, about a special competition.

    Here it goes:

    Image after image, comment after comment,

    tweet after tweet, architectural discourse is

    getting fast and light. Like money moving at optic-

    fiber speed.

    Global architecture offices are frantically

    organizing our future, advocating originality,

    identity and uniqness of their visions.

    Buildings, like prehistoric creatures, are slow and

    clumsy.

    They oppose a natural resistance to the

    acceleration imposed to our life by financial

    capitalism, despite the achievements of digital

    design and Chinese construction speed.

    Coffee after coffee, day after night, model after

    model, the anonymous army of architecture

    interns are called to cope with that gap, to bridge

    the "geologic fault" between the speed of

    information and the slowness of construction,

    between education and work.

    Interns bring the essential mix of knowledge,

    cultural difference, social skills, curiosity for the

    unstable trends of life, strong motivation,

    intimacy, rapid adaptability to new technologies

    and capability to tirelessly perform.

    Interns are the backbone of post-fordist society, a

    black economy of anonymous pioneers living by

    the same competitive, individualistic and cynic

    logic: "everybody else is doing itso I have to".

    East China Sea

    A War for This?

    A clutch of five uninhabited islets and three rocks,

    cast adrift out in the currents of the Western

    Pacific, recently demonstrated their power to

    convulse East Asia. China, which (alongwith

    Taiwan) claims them, calls them the Diaoyuislands; to Japan, which controls them, they are

    the Senkaku islands.

    In September the Japanese government bought the

    three islets it did not already own from theirprivate landlord. That set off a storm of protests

    in China, a slump in Japanese exports to China and

    in Chinese tourists to Japan, and incursions by

    Chinese vessels into the waters around the

    Senkakus.

    Poyais, the Invented Kingdom

    If design is fiction, mr Gregor Mac Gregor is

    probably one of the finest designer ever

    ...fraud is about creating false confidence, and

    making people believe in something that does notexist.

    For some, like Mr Madoff, it is the belief in the

    tricksters shamanic stock-picking skills. For

    others, like Charles Ponzi, it is a fail-safemathematical scheme. MacGregor was far more

    ambitious: he invented an entire country. He was,

    he claimed, the Cazique or Prince of this land

    Poyaislocated near the Black River, in modern-

    day Honduras.

    MacGregor claimed that Poyais covered 8m acres

    (an area larger than Wales). It was rich in natural

    resources but in need of development. That would

    require both cash and manpower.

    Through an elaborate publicity campaign, he

    succeeded in persuading people not only to invest

    their savings in the bonds of a non-existent

    government, but also to emigrate to a fictional

    country. How on earth did he manage it?

    Voynich Manuscript

    Following the conversations and exchanges on

    http://www.facebook.

    com/groups/WHOAMInotebookchallenge/I was

    very impressed about this story, about this

    mysterious manuscript.

    Wikipedia explains:

    The Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's

    most mysterious manuscript", is a work whichdates to the early 15th century (1404-1438),

    possibly from northern Italy. It is named after the

    book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in

    1912.

    Some pages are missing, but the current version

    comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with

    illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles

    herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to

    present illustrations and information about plantsand their possible uses for medical purposes.

    However, most of the plants do not match known

    species, and the manuscript's script and language

    remain unknown and unreadable. Possibly some

    form of encrypted ciphertext, the Voynich

    manuscript has been studied by many professional

    and amateur cryptographers, including American

    and British codebreakers from both World War I

    and World War II. As yet, it has defied all

    decipherment attempts, becoming a cause clbre

    of historical cryptology. The mystery surrounding

    it has excited the popular imagination, making the

    manuscript a subject of both fanciful theories and

    novels. None of the many speculative solutions

    proposed over the last hundred years has yet been

    independently verified.

    The Voynich manuscript was donated to Yale

    University's Beinecke Rare Bookand Manuscript

    Library in 1969, where it is catalogued under call

    number MS 408 and called a "Cipher Manuscript".

    Interesting article by Bryan Goldberg (thanks to

    Bye Bye Pad...

    Another glorious bit of Italian design retires

    ...though the Padminis notoriously sticky door

    handles have a habit of popping off in customers

    hands, and passengers can often see the roadthrough holes in the floorboard, the Padmini still

    has its adherents, primarily because it is slower

    and therefore perceived as safer than zippy newer

    models.

    And because the Padmini was the first car manyIndians rode in, it stirs up wistful feelings
