Abid Hussain: Astro Hitz-Music Factory

What do The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and Guns 'n Roses have in common? Apparently they were all laboratory mash-ups that spawned accidental musical genius. At least that's what Malaysian music video channel Astro Hitz would have you believe. Their quirky new commercial cites these super groups as proof that awesomeness seems to occur when dudes in lab coats do inane things during their down time. And so what if that's not quite how it works? Astro Hitz reminds us that making awesome music is a magical phenomenon like catching lightning in a bottle. Or juggling ice cubes…?

Flux Foundations: BrollyFlock

What is a BrollyFlock? It's the Flux Foundations latest project—a tree-like flock of umbrellas that made its debut in June at the Electronic Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. The landmark revolves around the concept that umbrellas have somehow broken free of our grasp and started to diverge into individual natures. What once used to isolate us under its protection now brings people together to marvel at it. BrollyFlock takes something with a very singular purpose and gives it an entirely different identity and a different kind of beauty.

FACTORY 15: Golden Age: Somewhere

Virtual reality is about to arrive, big time. According to the masterminds behind Golden Age: Somewhere, the future entails a world of surroundings dictated by simulation. Soon, you will be able to connect with everything and nothing all at once from the comfort of your home. It's a crazy vision, but it just might come true. Perhaps the most amazing prediction that Golden Age dares to make is the emergence of nanorobots as the building blocks for our virtual world. The forms these nanobots take on would surround consumers, replacing virtually all of our current material possessions. Want new furniture? Simply download your desired amenities from one of many credit-based systems. The future is bright in this dream of a "truly 'glocolised' world."
