John Lennon plays dead in prophetic unseen photo left in bank vault for 30 years
The image was captured by society photographer Tom Murray during the Fab Four’s last official photoshoot in 1968.
It was among a number of photographs which were made public today after lying unseen in an envelope for decades.
Industtrees is excited to present a collection of installation pieces inspired by the themes of perpetual waste and sustainable design. The show is the first public installation by local Environmental Designer Ann Anna Kim.
Each of the three pieces have been created by grouping together…

Click here to watch a video about Nine Hours, a new, beautifully designed capsule hotel in Kyoto, Japan. Capsule hotels have always fascinated me, but this is probably the first one I’ve seen where I’d really want to stay. It just seems very futuristic to sleep in a little pod, even if there’s no space travel or hypersleep involved. I quite like their minimalist design aesthetic as well (as seen above).
It’s odd that capsule hotels is still such a Japanese thing. I can think of so many times where all you need is just a bed to sleep in (like at an airport), and you have to pay a ton of money for a whole room and amenities you won’t use. The closest I’ve come to something similar was staying at The Pod Hotel in New York City, which has tiny little rooms with shared bathrooms along with very fresh modern design, but even those rooms were big compared to the capsule hotels of Japan.
you know an evening is going to go well when you bike down to the venue nice and early with enough time to get ruffle’s ‘hot wings’ flavoured chips and a ‘monster’ energy drink.
djing in a pub/lounge type place is always strange as there’s no dance floor. deadbeat, however is a nice treat as the crowd generally wants pretty much any kind of sub/counter culture tunage they can get. and that’s what we gave them. and they’re not picky on decade either. its a no frills affair. everyone’s usually there for a good time and there’s way less bullshit than other evenings. i think people go to dead.beat for a good time more than to support friends like some other parties around town.
after brooklynn we headed over to korea town making sure to spit and pee on car door handles/windows and generally be obnoxious along the way in the wee hours of the night. our bikes took us to a never-disappointing 24hr korean diner that fed us to the max and including a generous tip was under 20 bones. not too shabby. knowing the day and subsequent evening ahead (including actual responsibilities mixed with gallery time and dance parties) we called it a night. oh what a night.
