Martin Luther King Made Of 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes

If you think the most brain-taxing way to use a Rubik’s Cube is to solve the puzzle, you have to think again:

Designer Pete Fecteau used 4,242 officially licensed Rubik’s Cubes to build up an image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The construction process took a little over 40 hours. Each cube has been “reversed solved” or twisted so that one of the faces maps its nine stickers into the total image, 38,178 stickers total. The size of the mosaic is 19′ x 8’6″ x 2.25″ (5.8m x 2.6m x 5.7cm ) and it weighs around 1000 pounds (454 kg).

For those who think it’s a cool idea, here’s a link for you to Rubikcubism.

Reebok Presents Worlds Largest 3D Street Art

Naturally, Reebok didn’t do this themselves: the Guinness record breaking painting was created by 3D street artists, Joe & Max. Reebok, whose brands stands for reaching your physical, mental and social potential, acted here as a sponsor of the event.

As for the painting itself, the process took as much as 7 days, and it represents plunging cliffs and waterfalls right there on a London street.

Check out the video below.

Green Design: Take Your Home Plants On A Walk

Wearable planters are a very cute idea from Colleen Jordan:

Why should your plants stay at home? They help clean the air you breathe, are beautiful, and create a wonderful conversation starter. Carry a sprout, a succulent, or a flower you found on your morning walk. A wearable planter, inspired by my work on Material Perception, setting out to prove that something beautiful can be created in plastic.

Benetton Un-hates You

The UNHATE Foundation, desired and founded by the Benetton Group, seeks to contribute to the creation of a new culture of tolerance, to combat hatred, building on Benetton’s underpinning values. It is another important step in the group’s social responsibility strategy: not a cosmetic exercise, but a contribution that will have a real impact on the international community, especially through the vehicle of communication, which can reach social players in different areas.

Nicely said, nicely demonstrated:
