Awesome photography of mutant fruits and vegetables.
Here's the collection.
"The Mutato-Archive is a collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables, displaying a dazzling variety of forms, colours and textures, that only reveal themselves when lawfully enforced standards cease to exist. The complete absence of botanical anomalies in our supermarkets has caused us to regard the consistency of produce presented there as natural. Produce has become a highly designed, monotonous product. We have forgotten, and in many cases never experienced, the way fruits, roots, and vegetables can actually look (and taste). The Mutato-Project serves to document, preserve and promote these last remainders of agricultural diversity."

Minh's Legacy
CIDSA organized a ski/snowboard trip to Mt Cascade last week. As you know, the main guys behind the event were Teddy and Minh from fourth year. This was also made possible with a bit of help from Stephen Field. Kudos to him. My camera batteries froze and died from the cold so I don't have many pictures. Thanks for all those who came out that day and I hope you guys had a lot of fun and not a lot of bruises! For those that did not make it, HA! You missed out! But please refer to the bottom of the page.

Autism Connects - Design for those with ASD
THE CHALLENGE
The “Autism Connects” technology and design competition challenges students to help individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to better connect with the world around them, and allow individuals who do not have ASD to better understand and connect with those who do.
Designers are asked to produce innovative technology-based solutions to assist individuals with ASD in their communications with others and, in doing so, to increase the public’s understanding of this unique and growing population. Design solutions should focus on improving communication on any of a number of levels: between individuals, within and between communities and their members, and among individuals without ASD so they can connect better with individuals who do.
The Jury consists of Yves Behar (fuseproject), Lisa Strausfeld (Pentagram), Richard Seymour (Seymourpowell) nnd Allan Chochinov (Core77)
Competition closes March 30th 2011
