Live



Look at you.

You’re young.

And you’re scared.

Why are you so scared? 

Stop being paralysed. 

Stop swallowing your words. 

Stop caring what other people think. 

Wear what you want. 

Say what you want. 

Listen to the music you want to listen to.

Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. 

Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. 

Stop waiting for Friday. 

Live now. 

Do it now

Take risks. 

Tell secrets. 

This life is yours. 

When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

Everyday objects - Stash drugs, money & ID

Yiting Cheng may have just made something for you..


For her thesis project, Cheng designed a series of eight objects that ingeniously store secrets--from passwords to money to drugs to ID. And you can see all of them in this nicely shot video (our favorite is the secrete drawer, hidden in the edge of a table, which is only accessible when attach a magnetic pull and the invisible mirror pen, which is only visible when a person breaths on the mirror )





According to Cheng:

This project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups.
How? By utilizing stereotypes and visual camouflage. We make judgments based mainly on our experiences and what we see. This dependency on visual information can create large blind spots. Thus, usual stereotypes of how we perceive solid, transparency and lighting are employed in this project to play with notions of "solid and void" and "true and false."
In other words, she hides things in plain sight, by hiding them inside objects so familiar that you'd never question their integrity.
