have you seen anything by mark weaver?

he’s just awesome. I’m really loving the retro-futuristic feel of these pieces. I first came across Mark’s work at kitsunenoir, as part of the desktop wallpaper series – see below. His flickr stream is equally great, especially his make something every day set. wow.

Redbull Flugtag

Over the last few months I’ve been working on the largest and scariest construction project I’ve had the chance to work on in over a year.. an entry into the Redbull Flugtag competition. The competition ran over the weekend at Mrs Macquaries point, you can see me in the photo above – holding onto the control frame as we go over the edge..The team and I had a lot of fun working on our design – in a nutshell it was essentially a hang glider that could be transformed rapidly to/from a large 4 person tent. The tent/glider transformation takes about 5-10 seconds, and we performed this on stage in front of around 20,000 people (rough guess, give or take 10,000 people or so..) – after which we proceeded to fly the craft straight into the harbour!Needless to say a lot of work went into this project, much more of which is held in our blog, the tent that flew . If you’re interested in bamboo structures that can transform and fly, by all means go have a look..Also worth noting is the fact that out of all the designs we saw on the day, ours was the only craft to make it back alive – unscathed and potentially ready and able to fly again another day. Proud? You don’t know the half of it.
