Sweet meat

Cool Collector # Food Files
The way food looks and the way it tastes are two entirely different things when you look at these images. To seperate taste and looks of food in a extreme way seems to be a trend amongst food stylists right now.The sweets on these pictures look like sweets made out of meat, but there’s no meat in it at all! Really love the visual effect of it, though it are cakes and ice creams, I don’t really feel like eating them! It looks like something that evil Vampire Russel from true blood would serve. The sweets are photographed by German artist and photographer Jasmin Schuller.

Cool Collector # Technology Files
How cool is this! A hidden code in your tattoo, scan the code and your tattoo transforms into a animated figure! Pretty amazing!
QR codes have been starting to pop up everywhere, including as art objects and as serialized literature. So it’s only makes sense that someone would take it a step further and actually get one of them tattooed on their body. Paris tattoo artist K.A.R.L. has purportedly tattooed the very first QR Code onto a person that when scanned, produces an animated version of it on YouTube. It features a singing, floating head appearing out of the flower design of the tattoo.
The entire process was live streamed on Facebook via Ballantine whiskey’s “Leave the Impression” campaign. People were not only able to watch the tattooing in real time but were also able to share thoughts and interact with the artist in what he called the “Human API”.
The worlds first videocoat

Cool Collector # Technology Files
This is the worlds first video coat worn by Inventor David Forbes. A gadget/clothing item that allows him to display videos right on his body. On this inventor it still looks a bit like a invention by a pretty geeky professor. It's a little too complex to actually wear but it's a start towards the future! The Video Coat is a color TV set built into a lab coat. It is a 160x120 pixel color LED display, built on flex boards. This television set displays regular NTSC video. He designed and built it for Burning Man. Click here for David Forbes explanation about the technique and all other geeky stuff that's just too boring to explain for me!
Riots in a jam jar

Cool Collector # Art Files
Riot's seem to be everywhere lately when you watch the news. Not the most fun events, but they are pretty inspiring! James Cauty also has a big fascinatation for Riots and Protests, his series A Riot inJam Jar proves that! The series contain a big amount of jars with miniature riots. Which riots it are isn't really clear to me, but it really triggers your imagenation. After finishing this small scaled riot world Cauty makes pretty movies from the jar which remind you of a carousel. Pretty impressive! It rejects on the actuality and contributes to the small-scaled-trend. Check out his work here!
