Disusing the blurring line between organic and digital may be one of my favorite conversational topics (no, really.) See, in college I took a class titled Politics of the Future and in a nutshell, it ruined my life. In a good way. Five books and five papers later, I was left fascinated with the relationship […]

Naturally, when you stumble upon an abandoned ship from 1979, the given next step is to make it into the largest art piece around. DuDug, an international art collective, has taken such vessel under its wing and is transforming the once-revered cruise liner – but now rusting – Duke of Lancaster into an all-encompassing graffiti […]

We recently teamed up with Warby Parker to shake up the idea behind a street fair. The idea of hosting an event where organizations and companies that value innovation, social progress, and creativity could come together resulted in the first ever Common Good Urban Market. We invited a few of our friends from San Diego to welcome Warby’s […]

Last October, Warby Parker uprooted from it’s NYC headquarters and has since been touring across the nation bringing its eyewear products directly to the people in what may be the longest Class Trip ever.

With doctors telling him he’d never play baseball again, he surely didn’t expect how life-changing the injury would truly be. After meeting a young man at a Starbucks who began […]

London-based artist Slinkachu takes cues from everyday situations and, in plain sight, creates a new reality out of it. But without paying close enough attention, the hidden world could remain unseen. It’s easy to tune out our surroundings as we go about this journey called life, but in doing so we potentially miss out on the little […]

London’s Design Festival annually brings together innovative architects and designers to amplify the city’s imaginative borders and to recreate the city’s most notable places. In September, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) was invaded by a mysterious structure that lived off an invisible force. Prism, designed by London artist Keiichi Matsuda, was one of several large-scale interactive installations presented by […]

Darius Twin‘s re-imagination of Los Angeles, CA combines elements of light painting and photography, bringing a new spin to what street art usually looks like. Using long-exposure photography to capture the intricate paintings, he recreates an everyday setting into something that makes you second-guess what is and isn’t real. With the photos’ subjects only existing as the artist creates them and then disappearing […]
