From the compelling fusion of industrial design and low-res graphics comes the work of Ryota Kuwakubo, an award winning Japanese ‘toy maker’ whose products and projects are intended to challenge the user to ‘have fun.’
“I want to toss stones into the cultural pool, and make ripples that will last a long time after I die.”
The Daily Yomiuri has a profile of the inventor, which is interesting, but even more so after visiting Kuwakubo’s web site, where many of his experimental and commercial projects are showcased, including the ‘Vomoder’ message machine ( seen here.) I’d suggest browsing his personal site first, then reading the profile, but I won’t be mad if you don’t take my advice.
