WOW. Geometric Kite Is a Lightweight Flying Sculpture
The most brilliant kite design by artists, Heather and Ivan Morison in collaboration with London architectural designer Sash Reading and Birmingham fabrication design studio, Queen and Crawford. The handmade sculpture features over 23,000 individual components.
The astonishingly, lightweight geometric kite is comprised of carbon-fiber rods, specially designed 3D-printed connectors, and a handmade composite fabric typically used for yacht sails.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. “Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

According to Millward Brown’s Dave Barrowcliff:
- Gamification is unlocked
- Mobile as ‘hub and centre’ of our lives; wallet, identification, key, ticket
- TV on social steroids; ‘virtual togetherness’
- Online video in the livingroom
- Successful mobile marketing combines relevance, location and timing
- Apps are moving to the next level, freeing them from Apple’s restrictions
- Social FMCG e-commerce: Tiptoeing between engagement and marketing
- Social graphs = consumer insights
- Regulators focus on the real price for ‘free’ access
- Seamless sharing; content-driven instead of platform-driven
- China: ‘one stop shops’ with micro-blogging, networks and information portals
- Online Advertising: Real-time insight, decision making and optimalisation
