What did you learn from your parents? What do you want to hand down to your own kids? What are the hardest moments you’ve experienced in your life. What does love mean to you?
Forty questions addressed to over 5000 people to find out what separates us and what unites us to others. A snapshot of contemporary humanity by Yann Arthus-Bertrand who since 2003 has been working on the 6 billion others project as he travels round the world asking his questions.
An amazing virtual exchange of opinions to get to know those we normally think of as remote and different to us.
“6 billion others” is on show at Rome’s Traiano Markets till 26th September.

New York is getting greener and greener. Following the opening last year of the city’s remarkable High Line, this year the Big Apple has gone all out to create hanging gardens all over the place. One project called Woolly Garden School aims to make the most number of vertical gardens in New York and the rest of the United States. Click here to find out more:

Email has undoubtedly revolutionized our way of communicating with the world even if it has contributed to the demise of handwriting and the age-old art of beautiful calligraphy. For all handwriting nostalgics we have discovered a really interesting application.
Its name is Pilot Handwriting, designed by Pilot, the famous brand of pens and crayons. How does it work? With just a few commands you can transform your own handwriting into a genuine font to use when you write and send emails.

Summer’s here at last: time for events, parties, shows and performances – all rigorously outdoors. One highly curious one we came across on stage in London is called Electric Hotel. It’s a hotel that opens only to accommodate the stage set of David Rosenberg and Frauke Requardt’s dance show. Four floors on which the stories of seven characters intertwine in a dance and theatre experience combined with a strong taste of voyeurism. Look out for the next dates it’s on!

Enjoy a remarkably dreamlike voyage along the seabed through an incredible world full of strange fish and ethereal feminine creatures. That’s where the train wagons running on the Amsterdam metro will take you. Since 2008 the GBV company has been selecting the best projects by artists and designers to transform the old carriages of the city’s subway system into unexpected worlds. This is the year of carriages redecorated by the Million Dollar Design duo.
