A plywood movable kiosk I’ve designed in 2010 for the promotion of OCC, a Greek new cultural center, based in Athens.
The design -inspired by the architectural values of the building hosting the events- offers various morphological properties. Besides the full or half version of the kiosk, user can easily create different types of desks or stands, according to function and location, by subtracting or adding certain parts.

Civil Right Defenders, a Swedish-based human rights group, is introducing a new take on CAPTCHAs, those little boxes that make you type in a word to prove you are human before you can comment or register for a site.
Their version doesn’t just present a scrambled word to be deciphered, but instead forces a person to choose the right word to unscramble based on the proper emotional response to a human rights violation.
The group debuted the application just ahead of the planned gay and transgender march in Serbia on Oct. 6, which looks to have been cancelled by police due to threats by right-wing groups.
