\u2018Just walk out\u2019 service at Amazon Go<\/a><\/h3>\n

No lines, no check-outs, no registers, just an app at your phone. Will Amazon Go recreate the way we shop? The linked youtube video explains their new idea, has been published in December 2016 and the first store apparently will open early 2017. Amazon created an elegant solution, using image-recognition technology to create a grocery store in which shoppers can simply pick up goods and walk out.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Waterfall<\/a><\/h3>\n

Bompas & Parr’s<\/a> Beyond The Waterfall 2016 was a unique immersive and multi-sensory experience. It was meant to be the most intriguing festive adventure in London last Christmas. Set deep in the heart of Westfield London’s luxury precinct, The Village, the journey evoked the emotions and joy of the holiday season while creating a feeling of unbridled escapism woven from a mix of mythology, fairytales and science fiction. Throughout December 2016, guests ventured across a 20m lagoon on small boats \u2013 passing through a real waterfall \u2013 before arriving at the distant shore. There, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, roving among an Aladdin\u2019s Cave filled with piles of gemstones before arriving at the hidden cocktail cavern. Wouldn\u2019t that be a great example for a Christmassy cocktail bar in Amsterdam at the end of the year?<\/p>\n

Concrete mixer as disco ball at festivals?<\/a><\/h3>\n

At the F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res (Festival of Lights) of Lyon, visitors danced the night away thanks to a concrete mixer turned into giant disco ball! French artist Benedetto Bufalino always turns the ordinary into the fantastical and at this festival of lights in December he turned a concrete mixer into a giant disco ball for 3 nights. Wouldn\u2019t that be great at a dance festival?<\/p>\n

Glow-in-the-dark concrete could light up cities without electricity<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mexican scientist Jos\u00e9 Carlos Rubio Avalos and other scientists at Michoacan University of San Nicol\u00e1s de Hidalgo found a way to potentially transform concrete that envelop cityscapes around the world by making them glow.<\/p>\n

They concocted the new-and-improved formula, which contains small photoactive materials that allow cement to emit light once night falls. Typically, cement is opaque, which makes it impossible for it to absorb UV rays. By taking out the unnecessary crystals, the concrete can emit a glow that can last up to 100 years.<\/p>\n

Tiny, magical shops for mice are popping up in Sweden<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Swedish city of Malm\u00f6 has a new attraction. If you walk the streets and take a look down you might notice some amazing basement windows in the neighborhood of M\u00f6llev\u00e5ngen. Tiny businesses \u2014 a bakery and a \u201ccheese and cracker\u201d shop \u2014 just the right size for mice. The stores and restaurant are made by a group of artists who wishes to remain anonymous (group Anonymouse MMX).<\/p>\n

But the tiny, magical shops are popping up everywhere in Scandinavia. And wouldn\u2019t you get a lot of attention of the local press if mice opened their own copy of your restaurant around the block?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
