Hi --name-- !
Long time ago, I promised it will happen, and now it is here, under your very eyes ! Cesar's Newsletter is here for you ! First issue ! Thanks a lot for your support !
Since october 2007 I moved to London and study at the Royal College of Art. I'm having great fun, a lot of work as I litteraly live in college ! So far I have done 3 projects as 1st year Design Interactions student. |
| |
-1. "Industrial fragility", experimental industrial design
-2. "Infra-radio", synchronising dreams devices
-3. "Liquid economy", the stock exchange in the pocket of the poor
-4. "Daily-tube", videos, vids, vids
-5. "TetsuoHarada.com", the new architecture, content coming !
-6. "Massage, Japan, Open learning, future Cesar Harada . com ..." life, little things ...
thanks ! |
-1. "Industrial fragility", with Tommaso Lanza
|
|
See the video of the project on dailymotion
the making of the project on dailymotion
The objects that surround us are increasingly disposable by design; they hold less and less respect from us.
What if they were sentimentally fragile, asking for more attention ... ?
Will you relate to them differently, maintain them used and make them happy instead of neglecting them ? Maybe you'd value more your environment, maybe you'd be happier yourself.
Industrial Fragility* is a serie of hacks on common objects that want to be used and loved.
*Please keep us alive and care. |
-2. "Infra-Radio"
|
|
See the video : broadband, high quality
or on dailymotion
INFRA-RADIO is a physical low frequency radio that synchronizes or influences the dynamic of the heart rate providing an interactive sleep experiment for a single or a group of simultaneous users.
While you are asleep, your heart rate is monitored via an infra-red pulse oximeter, computed by a microchip, sent to an internet server, in real-time you get feedback an infra-bass pulse that influences and drives the dynamic of your heart rate according to your settings on the website.
You can "amplify" and design your dream activity, accelerate, slow down, synchronize with your distant dreaming lover, influence a group of people or your family, index your heart rate to your neighborhood average rate or to someone you are a fan of, simply tune into someone else's rhythm without noticing or hardly remembering it ... |
-3. "Liquid Economy", work in progress !
|
|
See : on my website
or on daily motion
The power of the Stock Market for everyone ! Access anonymously the magic of Liquid Transactions !
> Personal anonymous stock quote (to trade)
> Liquid Transactions (perfect control of cash flow, predictability ... immense benefits !!!)
> All of this in an ultra-compact coin-size designed device.
This is a work in progress with INTEL (processor makers) to imagine the future of money. I'm going to keep on working on this until february : please give me feedback ! it is still time ! |
-4. Daily motion + Youtube !
|
|
I was given a super Daily Motion "motion maker" account, YAY !!! :
http://www.dailymotion.com/cesarharada
Some of my videos have been upgraded to [creative content] which means better public exposure, better video encoding quality, infinite space ...
I still use youtube :
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cesarharada
as everything is in there ... but Daily Motion image quality is better still ...
If you are a video maker, i recommend to use dailymotion and ask for an upgrade of the account quality hehehe ...

I just finished the architecture of my fathers website http://www.tetsuoharada.com , now Madam Harada, aka "Annie the best mama in the world" has some hard work filling the page with the 13'000 images that are going to be eventually available on this website soon ! Good luck mama, I'll be always here to debug your code ! (that's the love of a son).

As a "part of my research and passion", and as a real "way of surviving", I give japanese traditional massage on friday and saturday evenings in Central London. (...suspens) ... Why do you pout as if you were surprised ? heheheh !!!
http://massage.cesarharada.com/
Hire me ! I'm good, cheap, serious ! Don't you feel pain in your shoulders ? Your neck ? your back ? your feets ? Be reasonnable ! hahaa !
Between the 2nd and 10th of February 2008 I will be in Tokyo JAPAN with the folks of Design Interactions RCA, it is going to be wicked !
If you happen to be there, lets meet ! If you know the coolest place to eat, galery to visit, electronic curiosity, otaku center, anything, let me know !
Otherwise I am choosing now the subject for the dissertation I have to write this summer, hard time. For the moment I am looking in the alternative learning and sharing communities and I dream of building a floating city, a flexible sailing raft that would host an open-university ... what a big dream ... (!!!!!!)

Please bring me back to earth ... hehehehe !
And yes, my website is messy and no one seems to understand what's going on, SO ...
I WILL CHANGE IT ALL SOON !!! I want to use a content manager (drupal ? Joomla ? Blog ? Which one shall I go for !!!??) that works with tags and a more attractive layout ... and enabling comments would be so great too ....
|
So, this is the end of the first newsletter, quite a B-I-G one ! I feel so happy ! I like this quite "raw version", simple plain text ... but ... let me try the html version, with fancy images, videos ... and please tell me if there are any bugs displaying on your computer (please tell me what system, web-browser you use, it would help me a lot !).
THANKS FOR READING ALL THIS !!! YOUR PATIENCE AMAZES ME !!!!
I LOVE YOU !!!!
