警报订书针：

Wei-Ling Hsu等人设计的警报订书针（Alert Staples），一个简单的调整，将订书针末端几根颜色变为红色，看到它们出现时，就知道应该补充针了。

警示订书针(Alert Staples)——2012台湾国际学生创意设计大赛入围作品，让你感受更简单的设计和更有效的提醒。

警示订书针(Alert Staples)是台湾国立台北科技大学的学生许玮玲、游全益、赖俞任三位学生在参加《2012台湾国际学生创意设计大赛》时带来的入围作品 。设计师们在钉书针的边上设置了一片红色区域，这一简单的小调整使得钉书针成为了一个相当于能「显示用量」的智能产品，它会在钉书针即将用完时，醒目和有效的提醒你准备更换新的订书针。

英国艺术家PETER ROOT用十万件订书钉和超过40小时的时间建造了一座微缩城市，用最单调，重复的劳动创造出如此惊人的艺术品。

“Ephemicropolis”在表达一种思考，关于城市中的冰冷，脆弱与隔阂。

Peter Root is an artist, but not brush and easel type of artists. Instead, Peter is using staples and potatoes. He’s the architect of abstract landscapes of enormous beauty and detail.

His miniature landscape “Honey and Almond” (2009) certainly smells good. No wonder, as it is made out of honey-almond sope. But its’ outer appearance resembles to what the great barrier reef is made of: organic structure, like cockles and mussles, alive, alive-o! In some other ways, it’s futuristic like the semi-biologic spaceships you can find in some science fiction.

Completly organic is Wasteland, a starchy cityscape made of potatoes – a perfect material for building, as the single bricks and pieces automically stick together due to the glue we happily wash off of our hands after cooking.

In a crass contrast to organic shapes and material goes Ephemicropolis, the latest work of Peter Bloom. It’s a metropolis as we know it: a vast area with skyscrapers, greyish, full-metal, hostile. The material used by Tool: 100.000 staples. The towers were up to 12 centimetres high (were, as they only existed for this project of 40 hours). Be sure to check out the making-of video and take a look at Peters website. See how Peter Tool’s art makes a difference with using small things and a sense for details.
