Post-It Stop Motion

Apparently this is an Art Student’s senior project at college. Well seeing as it’s now been seen by over two and half million people on YouTube, we’d say he’s passed.

How it would be, if a house was dreaming

In Short:
555 KUBIK “How it would be, if a house was dreaming”

In Full:
“The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeability of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.”

Kids Marshmallow Experiment

In Short:
One marshmallow now, or an extra one in a few minutes if you can wait. Could your child cope? Could you?

In Full
“The marshmallow experiment is a famous test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.”
