We’ve already seen New York City’s Marmara Manhattan hotel target expectant mothers from abroad with “birth tourism” packages, and recently we came across another hotel with a medically inspired offering.

THE GLASS SMARTPHONE/TABLET (CONCEPT)
Designer: Andrew Solesbury
Some of these design concepts we’ve been seeing lately are seriously mind blowing. Today we bring you “The Glass Smart Phone/Tablet” by UK designer Andrew Solesbury:
The Glass Smart Phone/Tablet is a concept for the future smart phone; edge to edge, and totally transparent.
It has front and rear facing 3D cameras for tracking motion of both the scenery and the user. Together they can create fully tracked augmented reality, and couple with a 3D screen that needs no glasses, everything will look as if it is actually there.
The screen is also totally transparent. All the electronics are held in the tiny multifunctional on/off button, thanks to advances in microscopic electronic components.

Helen Pynor has a way of making unpleasant afflictions look sublime in her red sea blue water series. The photographs above represent headache, constipation, head cold and ear ache.
About the project:
In the ‘red sea blue water’ series, threads from embroidered home remedies drift downwards and tangle with bodily organs that float in apparent suspension. The mysterious potency of these images emerges partly from our strange identification with them: as we gaze at the images, our own interior is silently reflected back. The works enact tensions between their potential perversity, their suggestion of the healing gesture, and their calming beauty.
You can see more of her maladies on her site or you can see several of them on display through April 14 at the GV Art group exhibit Polymath.
