Walking the Road

Posted on 24. Aug, 2010 by iheidi in Politics, life

Step by step, the story of a girl and a dragonfly unfolds, as you walk along the promenade by the sea. A girl (a young South African democracy) is intrigued by a dragonfly (a dream of freedom, equality, and hope), and follows it, wishes to capture it… For a moment, the girl loses the dragonfly [...]

The Flying Arch

Posted on 06. Jun, 2010 by iheidi in Politics, featured

It almost took my breath away. There he was, flying in mid air. The Archbishop, hanging on to a chandelier. His iconic smile etched into his face. Desmond Tutu, as I had never seen him before. Surreal…. The Arch filled me with a sense of wonder. Of pure delight. But it also triggered a sense [...]

For the Love. Of the Game.

Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by iheidi in Design, books

So you thought you knew what a soccer ball looks like? So did I. Until a few years ago, when I came across a couple of kids in Malawi, vying for my attention with a handmade rubber soccer ball. I bought only one, and I gave it away, damn it! To the one I love(d). [...]

A Vuvuzela hits the Highway

Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by iheidi in Design, media

Such interesting times in the city of Cape Town! On any given day, something new catches my eye. This giant vuvuzela on the unfinished highway appeared out of the blue (or should I say, in the blue?), courtesy of Hyundai. (I managed to get a snapshot on the weekend, before it was branded, hahaa). Brands [...]

Alice in iPadland

Ohhhh I love it, love it, love it! Alice flits around in the forest, mushrooms fall out of the sky, clocks tumble about, the queen of hearts has a bit of a start… all in the wonderland that is the iPad. It’s animation that’s dared to dive down the rabbit hole. And breathe new life [...]

Handspring Puppet Co. and ZANews at Design Indaba 2010

Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by iheidi in Design, Politics

The Handspring Puppet company fascinated us all. We moved to the edges of our seats as they announced that they were about to bring their latest creation on stage. Moments later a tall horse was slowly walked in, all flowing movement and subtle expression. Truly breathtaking. You had to be there. Visit The Handspring Puppet [...]

Christien is interested in tracing the origins of the things around us. She spoke of her projects related to three raw materials: wool, flax, and pig (yes, pig.)

Digital Conversations – Science or Art?

Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by kateelphick in Uncategorized

One of the things that I find so fascinating about social media, is that it transcends the traditional artificial barriers that we have erected in business, letting us do things we never thought possible, or that in the past were more trouble than they were worth. For example, an Interactive (web 2.0 enabled) Intranet means [...]
