Tecktonic Comes To America
Tecktonik (AKA "Wantek") is a form of dance that first appeared in Paris in 2000 in a nightclub called Metropolis.
Tecknonic dance borrows heavily from elements of hip-hop dance moves including popping and locking, not to mention hints of vogueing as well.
Tecktonic has been growing in popularity worldwide, and lately you can start seeing the dance taking over in the states (LA & NY more so).
One of the most notable musicians for Tecktonic dance is YELLE. Check out the video for their song...(it's more of an art piece for tecktonik).
It's pretty exciting to see kids expressing themselves thru dance.

COMME DES GARÇONS @ H&M

Comme des Garçons’ founder and head designer Rei Kawakubo will create this autumn’s guest designer collection at H&M. Rei Kawakubo, famous and admired for her creativity and artistry, will design a women’s and a men’s collection, with some pieces for children too. Accessories and an exclusive unisex fragrance will also be included in the collection.
"I have always been interested in the balance between creation and business. It is a dilemma, although for me creation has always been the first priority. It is a fascinating challenge to work with H&M since it is a chance to take the dilemma to its extreme, and try to solve it", says Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons.

Art-o-mat
What is an Art-o-mat? Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art. There are 82 active machines in various locations throughout the country.
What do you get from an Art-o-mat?
The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector.
Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. They're always searching for fresh work.
Check out the website to find an Art-o-mat near you: Art-o-Mat
