  • Tokyo Flashmob

    Want to participate in a flashmob? Details below on the one happening in Shinjuku this Sunday (March 22). With this event we want to criticize the surveillance society which takes away our ability to trust in others. [Rule number 1] Bring a book of your choice, and read it out lout. It doesn’t matter whether…

  • Nendo + Camper

    Nendo designs the above installation for Camper, at that “Bread and Butter” tradeshow in Barcelona. Designboom posts more images.

  • CGM 3

    This past Friday night was the third edition of CGM, this time at Cafe Ratia in Harajuku — I’m sure Danny Choo will have a massive wrap-up post soon enough. I again showed up with my good friend CheapyD, and we proceeded to drink a lot of beer, talk to a lot of people, and…

  • We Love Magazine Library

    First with the bad news: if you’re hearing about the “We Love Magazine Library” exhibition for the first time, then you’re out of luck because it ended yesterday. I must apologize for not having posted this before — I had actually taken note of it before its start, but completely forgot to post something. I…

  • Japanese Memoscapes

    Bianca’s “Japanese Memoscapes” exhibition at Cafe Pause — I posted about it last week — is now on, and she’s updated the show’s site with some of the displays being shown, that reveal where the pages’ patterns were taken. Also, Bianca is having an informal reception at the cafe this Saturday from 19:00, which I…

Here’s how he describes the event: TokyoMade presents Fragment Vol. 4, the first anniversary of the art and fashion event in Tokyo. The concept of…

  • Patrick Macias Has the Otaku Power

    Patrick Macias is in town for a bit — still jet-lagged — and is giving a talk, “Otaku Power: Trivia, Desire, and Transformation,” at Temple University this Friday (March 13, 18:30). More details here.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 29

    38. That was the attendance for last night’s PauseTalk (Vol. 29), and I’m still not quite sure how it happened. I usually get an average of 15-20 attendees at each edition, which is a nice number — remember, PT is meant to be a salon-like event. The huge crowd also meant that for the first…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    It’s the first Monday of the month, which means the March edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 29) is happening tonight at Cafe Pause, with a start time of 20:00. See you there!

  • "Light – Light" in Tokyo

    Curiosity‘s “Light – Light” installation, first shown in Milan last year, is now on show at a Louis Vuitton store in Tokyo until April 5. Designboom only mentions that it’s at the Louis Vuitton store in Shibuya-ku, which I assume would be the flagship store on Omotesando.
