TED talk



I recently watched a TED talk about the invention literally saved and unlocked a mobility impaired artist.
The artist was TEMPT who was one of the foremost graphitti artists in the 80s.
One day, he got a disease called ALS which completely paralyzed him from toe to head.
He now has only use of his eyes to communicate with people.

Mick Ebbling who has taken the lead and invented a device which makes a person to draw with his eyes!

It has made TEMPT to draw again and be an artist again.
I was so touched from what Mick and his team have done which will absolutely give more hope and passion to art to people who suffer from disease or even got impaired like TEMPT.

Powerhouse Museum

It's been a while since I posted on this blog.
Had troubles with the Internet and assignments should I give you some excuses. :)




Anyway, last week I had a chance to visit to the Powerhouse Museum. Fortunately, when I visited there there was
the 'Australian International Design Awards' going on.

Also, there was a Gonz's work which was really surprising because I couldn't even think of seeing his work in the museum! (for photos check out Clement's blog!)










Anyway, it was really fun visiting there as there were many other activities happening in the museum such as ABBA exhibition and the design awards just to name a few.

I'm not sure whether the design awards is still on but I guarantee it's the best chance for us, product design students see the real design awards and check out Gonz's work which was great!
