George Davies
The Aluminum Lamp kickstarted my dig into George Davies, a California native now based in Salt Lake City, where George has been stuffing his “totally thrashed” Subaru Outback with materials and the chairs built from them since college. Immediately hooked on the clean lines and a lamp he produced years ago, I reached out to explore his design process a little further- and find out if he had any more of those lamps.

Fractured Perception: Chris Engman
Through a process that blends sculpture, installation, and digital compositing, Chris Engman’s work challenges the conventional role of photography. His environments are carefully constructed, layered, and manipulated to reveal the tension between what we see and what we assume to be true. Based in Los Angeles, Engman approaches photography as a form of documentation. His process is slow, spanning months. From scouting the perfect location and mapping sunlight position, to staging, lighting, photographing, and reassembling every element by hand. At the center of Engman’s practice is the idea of impermanence. We project assumptions, assign meaning, and often overlook the seams. He leans into the space between what’s real and what’s perceived—altering familiarity in a way that speaks directly to viewers who allow themselves to fully observe.

Neutra's Strathmore Apartments
At dinner the other night, we were talking about the places that felt like home but slipped through our fingers. All of the apartments we applied for, the ones we lost. The luxury of renting in LA—the never-ending cycle of throwing your savings into someone else’s mortgage. If you get really really lucky, your savings can fund the mortgage on a really really dope place. A potentially iconic place. The kind of place that becomes the backdrop to a whole chapter of your life, like the home in Three’s Company. And then it hit me. That apartment on Strathmore, the one I almost got, the one that had me spiraling for a minute when I lost it to some guy who could afford to drop three years of rent in cash...It was a Richard Neutra. I was obsessed with it before even realizing that fact- the impeccable efficiency and feeling of the home’s design was more than enough to hook me. I was hesitant to dive into the history of the apartment- reopening wounds and whatnot… but I did it anyways while we were still enjoying our favorite Thai spot. I figured if I was ever going to relive the loss it should at least happen while my papaya salad could console me. The Strathmore Apartments were designed in 1937, inspired by the stacked homes of New Mexico and Mexico City. Neutra had spent time in Albuquerque, taking in the way homes naturally cascaded into the landscape. That inspiration found its way into Strathmore, a complex of four buildings, eight interlocking units that feel both private and deeply connected. Stretched across an awkward sloping hill, no two units are alike. Every apartment has a unique floor plan, accommodating intentionally chosen views and private balconies. Walking the stairs between them feels like navigating a small, self-contained world. Since each level is staggered across the slope, the vantage points are an integral part of the interior experience. It was my first time tasting a bit of proper modernism on the West Coast… and while standing in the unit, my jaw still on the floor, I thought it would be mine.

Fuck Balloons
The industrial demand for helium is forecasted to nearly double by 2035. Briefly, let’s dive into the the shallow end on helium and its uses outside of what I’ve chosen to highlight: electric vehicles, batteries, fiber optics, AI, telecommunications, aerospace engineering, scientific research (particle physics, medicine, etc.), chemicals, pharmaceutical, rockets, semiconductor manufacturing, and more. Helium’s limited production diversification and those production centers' vulnerability to geopolitical shifts is a recipe for global disruptions across all of the aforementioned industries (and more). I do recommend diving into the deep end on your own- the larger issues hinging on helium being available for the future will shock you.

Tokyo Vice
If you’ve already watched the Tokyo Vice adaptation on HBO Max, you might want to skip ahead to the interview. For those unfamiliar with Jake Adelstein's work and investigative crime journalism, his exploration and obsession with investigative techniques led him to become intricately involved with the underbelly shadows of Japanese society—where the worlds of crime, politics, and law enforcement collide in ways few outsiders have ever witnessed firsthand. His 2009 book, Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan, lays out a bare, naked report of Japan’s economy. The adaptation on HBO Max, also titled Tokyo Vice, was filmed in Japan during and after the COVID-19 lockdown, with the first season premiering on April 7, 2022, and the second season premiering on February 8, 2024. I first reached out to Jake through email just before the release of Tokyo Vice Season 2, after watching Season 1 more than once—maybe even three times (lol).

NJH: Thorns
NJH’s virtual world is one of carefully curated visuals, framed by dark imagery and accented by Berettas. It feels like an ode to the medieval, maybe even the macabre- beautiful and haunting. My original reaction to the work was strong. It still is, as one of the pieces has leapt from my screen and is now in front of me as I write this at Null HQ. Beyond the initial visual impact, the pieces are each a unique display of attention to detail and understanding of scale. Each piece is created using a painstaking process: a thick coil pot is made before individual thorns are attached, followed by tens of hours of shaving the now intricate surface. NJH and I met over email with a batch of questions about his works and upcoming gallery shows before setting a date to check out his studio. We made a visit to NJH’s neat garage studio, expecting it to be as portrayed- cigarette butts, ceramic dust, scraps of designs and writing all over the walls. There were less ash trays than I thought there would be. The below interview was conducted via email prior to meeting. Responses are as they were originally written, with omissions of less pertinent information and strikethroughs of details that contradict later conversations.

How to Build Without Instructions: Peter Simmonds
Peter Simmonds’ vision started young. In his grandmother’s house, a box of mismatched Lego bricks, and no instructions. That kind of freedom shaped everything he does today, eventually leading to the creation of the Peter Simmonds brand of upcycled wearables. The 001 Trapper was my introduction into his CCTV world of aesthetics—a hat I picked up in 2021. It’s post-apocalyptic art you can wear, made from repurposed military parachutes. Sounds absurd, right? At the same time, it’s also the kind of piece that makes you feel strangely grounded, like being a kid again.

ELIZA
From 1964 to 1967, Joseph Weizenbaum developed a psychotherapist computer program at MIT. At the time, there was an optimistic dream that computers could be built to think like humans. Scientists scrambled to reverse-engineer human thought processes. And they failed. Weizenbaum, however, built something that undermined their efforts: a computer program that simply reflected human thoughts back at them. Like a therapist, ELIZA didn’t need to think—it just needed to listen. Type in your problems. Exactly what you’re feeling. And the machine would do what Carl Rogers, the renowned therapist, built his entire method around: Repeating your words back to you. A different version of what you already said. What stunned researchers wasn’t just ELIZAs ability to mimic Roger’s methods. It was that people liked talking to her. Even when they knew she was a computer program. Without a consciousness. Somewhere in that loop, people found comfort though. So we created our own version of ELIZA. I reached out to friend/designer/engineer Louie Gavin of Tame Labs®, who had written his university thesis on conversational AI, including a brief exploration of ELIZA. We both shared an interest in modernizing ELIZA. No predictive text tricks. No generative image. Just a chatbot that listens, without trying to sell you something or have sex with you. Conducting our own Turing Test over the past two weeks, we had friends and clients test it out at Null HQ. Instead of treating it as a relic, or an early breakthrough in conversational AI, users immediately judged it. They projected onto it. They tried to outsmart it. And what we learned wasn’t about ELIZA. It was about us. Maybe that was the point all along.

Cancel Dangycam
Convenience always comes at a cost. Before Dangycam- well, before the current fixation on handycams took over TikToks and fashion week aftermovies, Thomas Dang was already deep in it, shooting Miami’s scene on tape before it became a trend. Now, Dangycam is an LA based brand that specializes in designing and fabricating specialty accessories and tapeless camcorder solutions. Instead of leaving the nostalgia of tapes behind, he engineered a solution with the help of his friends Devin and Gunner: bespoke cables, modular mounts, and functional upgrades that allow videographers to record tapeless without sacrificing aesthetics. What started out as a ghetto grass roots company has recently surged with a polarizing popularity, selling out minutes after every drop. Some argue that it's an overpriced convenience.... But others can only shit on Dangy's name rather than appreciate the vision. It’s sleek. It’s functional. Convenient. The internet has it's opinions, but so do we... On Thursday, 1/30/25, Null Society sat down with Thomas Dang at the Downloads HQ to talk about the backlash, the price of modernization, and why people are still buying into the hype of nostalgia.

Giotto Stoppino: A Radical in Plastic
A few years ago, while redesigning my home, I acquired a set of Kartell nesting tables and became captivated by the work of Italian designer and architect Giotto Stoppino.‍ His designs balanced affordability with aesthetic integrity, exploring functionalism and materiality through a maximalist approach. Iconic pieces like his plastic magazine rack, Equilibrium lamp, and nesting tables exemplify this.‍ The Radical Design movement of the 1960s and 70s produced ingenious objects and art- a movement that Stoppino paralleled within his own philosophies. Stoppino’s design schema was driven by intentionality. While most movements of the time were focused on modernizing with traditional materials (wood, steel), Stoppino found an opportunity to look towards the future of materials in an exploration with Kartell. A year-long journey of testing for the concept of molded plastic brought the Kartell nesting tables to life, an innovation that would change the course of post-modern Italian design.

Kim Jong Il Looking At Things
I've seen satirical takes on North Korea—The Interview, Team America—but a Tumblr page? Kim Jong Il Looking At Things is both hilarious and strangely therapeutic. The book’s description on the blog's landing page opens with: "The most photogenic leader is finally featured in a respectable medium." Damn, that’s good. Take my money. And how am I just hearing about this?! Created by João Rocha, the blog launched on October 26, 2010, quickly going viral on Tumblr and r/pics, gaining enough momentum for a 2014 book deal—192 pages of Kim Jong Il looking at things, admiring things, touching things. Oddly comforting.

$1 Oysters
Shuck yeah. $1 Oyster Day at Whole Foods is tomorrow. Prime members only, of course- you only get oysters for the low if you pay the Bezos tax. They don’t really advertise it though, if you know, you know. Seasoned vets show up early, hovering by that seafood section like it’s a damn Supreme drop. And don't even think about calling ahead. They’ll take your order just to gaslight you when the oysters should be ready for pickup. They don’t have it ready because they didn’t even take the order. Wait with the others. And the sticker price? Never the sale price. But don’t freak out. Just have your phone ready so they can scan your Prime QR code. Honestly, these oysters alone make Prime worth it. And if you’re lucky, they’ll even shuck them for you. Depends on who’s working.

Georg Gerster: The Past From Above
Swiss-based journalist and aerial photographer Georg Gerster was a pioneer in aerial photography, logging countless flight hours without ever holding a pilot’s license. Since beginning his career as a freelance journalist in 1956, he learned many languages and explored every corner of the globe, from ancient temples in Sudan to the edges of Antarctica, and the lush green fields of Iran. Gerster’s work, published in National Geographic and celebrated in exhibitions like the British Museum’s 2006 retrospective, stands as a testament to his 50 years of dedication to the preservation of history. His images (mostly shot on film) often give you a vast experience of color, space, and temporality. The location, often hard to depict. But it is often presented from a unique vantage point, in a way that resembles a visceral artwork from the works of contemporary painter Richard Diebenkorn.

Green Couch
Are we considering the end of March 2020 “peak Covid”? If we’re calling it that, that’s where we’ll start. I’m sure you all remember the feeling well. Prime panic, zombie-apocalypse vibes. Aggressive stares if you walked your dog without a mask on or stood in a group outside with your roommates. Companies began to roll out “no-contact delivery”. Only essential stores were open. No one knew exactly how the virus was transmitted, so we were wiping down our grocery items in the driveway before we went into the house. I had just quit my investment analyst job and was staying in central Florida in an empty house, worlds away from my carefully curated Miami Beach apartment and my 10 foot, baby pink, custom made curved couch. I loved that couch. It took 4 guys to get it upstairs and into that apartment, while my dad cussed and yelled “this is never leaving this apartment without a chainsaw”. I didn’t plan on ever switching out the couch, but sometimes things just speak to you- and one day, peak covid, as I sat in the singular piece of furniture (a broken papasan chair) in that empty house in central Florida I scrolled into a Facebook marketplace listing that stopped me dead in my tracks. The image was of a green velvet couch, curvy (the way I like my couches), and oh so perfect for my Miami apartment. It was in Orlando with a $50 asking price. I sprinted outside to show my boyfriend the couch, my friends, my dog. I needed the couch. I could have the couch. It was only an hour and $50 away. It was a STEAL. My excitement was met with a resounding sigh from everyone I showed. Where would I put it? What would I do with the pink one? On and on, discouraging questions topped off with negativity. They didn’t share the vision. None of this could change the magnetic pull I felt towards the couch.

The Wrong Type of Architecture with Jean Jacques Balzac
Operating under the pseudonym Jean Jacques Balzac (a playful nod to the famous writer, albeit with an irreverent "ball sack" twist), the full-time architect explores his art direction and visual language through a blend of traditional methods and A.I, Jean’s work is visually striking—complex, obscure, and dystopian—yet it continuously invites contemplation and sparks discourse.‍ It’s both visually appealing and aesthetically ambiguous. Yet, it remains minimal enough to captivate architectural enthusiasts while staying obscure, provoking broader curiosity.‍ In the contemporary architectural landscape, there’s this ongoing debate about the "right way" versus the "wrong way" to approach design. The absence of foundational principles is increasingly overlooked in favor of financial gain. My conversation with Jean, whose dual practice bridges architecture and artificial intelligence, left me questioning whether such distinctions even matter at all.

Aerogel
First developed in the 1930s by Samuel Stephens Kistler, aerogels have since been refined to suit a variety of modern applications. Their unique combination of lightness, strength, and insulating properties has made them a staple material in cutting-edge technologies and research. Aerogel, often referred to as "frozen smoke" or "solid air," is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component is replaced with a gas. It is renowned for being one of the lightest solid materials in existence, with a density close to that of air. It's composed of a microporous silica, carbon, or metal oxide network that occupies only a small fraction of their volume, with the remainder being air. This unique structure gives aerogels their characteristic low density, translucency, and exceptional thermal insulation. They are also highly resistant to compression and have extremely low thermal conductivity, making them effective barriers to heat and cold. Despite its fragile appearance, aerogel is known for its remarkable insulating properties and structural strength.

Metal Gear Solid Face Textures (1998)
In the original Metal Gear Solid released in 1998 for the Sony PlayStation 1, the character face textures became iconic for their simplicity. Due to the technical limitations of the PlayStation’s hardware, the game used low-polygon character models with textures that conveyed facial details in minimalistic, pixelated form. These textures featured abstracted yet expressive depictions, leveraging the constraints of 32-bit graphics to evoke emotion and identity through minimal details. Hideo Kojima’s direction turned these visuals into a signature style that complemented the stealth-action gameplay and cinematic narrative. The game itself, often credited with popularizing the stealth genre, revolved around Snake’s infiltration of Shadow Moses Island to neutralize the terrorist threat of FOXHOUND and Metal Gear REX. The PlayStation console's graphical constraints, such as limited texture memory and resolution, made the faces both a necessity and an aesthetic hallmark, embodying the creative ingenuity of late 1990s game design.

The Clock (2010 film)
The Clock is a 24-hour video art installation by Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay. The piece is a meticulously constructed montage of thousands of film and television clips, each featuring clocks, timepieces, or references to specific times. Marclay conceived the idea for The Clock in 2005 while working on his earlier video piece Screen Play, where he sought a method for synchronizing music with film footage. The concept evolved into a broader exploration of time as a central theme. Wondering if it was possible to locate footage representing every minute of a 24-hour day, Marclay kept the idea under wraps for years, fearing it might be replicated. In 2007, after relocating to London, Marclay presented the idea to White Cube gallery. With their support and a budget exceeding $100,000, he assembled a team of researchers and editors to locate, catalog, and edit clips. Over the course of three years, they scoured films and television archives, piecing together the intricate timeline of The Clock. The installation functions as a real-time clock, with each scene corresponding to the actual time at which it is displayed. For example, a scene showing 3:15 p.m. on-screen will play at 3:15 p.m. local time. Since its debut, The Clock has been celebrated for its innovative approach to storytelling and its commentary on time, cinema, and human experience.

Rare Books. A 'Legit' Books-A-Million.
$550,000 books?! Say what, say whaaat?! The irony of Worth Avenue is that it’s all worthless. Old money, and everything smells like Chanel. And the homeless smell like Jo Malone. It’s a ritzy, dystopian beach town and no one pays you any mind unless you’re dressed in the same uniform—of sorts. But I refuse to buy into the club. So, there I was, walking the streets with no desire to rack up any more credit card debt. Observing. But nestled between expensive stores, and privately owned galleries. A particular sign caught my attention. Raptis Rare Books is something that stands out amongst it all. Less of a store. More of a gallery. A museum. Preserving history. With two floors of dark, pristine-polished oak shelves towering to the ceiling, lined with rows of books with leather embossed spines. The first editions of literature that crafted humanity. With stories that continue to shape culture. Sound rich? Bouji? It is. Yet there’s something to be said about the preservation of artifacts done in such a way that brings to light a contrasted experience to what we run into with hallow brands these days. And they’ve got quite the collection of books that probably lived through more than all of us combined. The cheapest book here could cost you your rent. And walking out empty-handed stings when you’re on Worthless Avenue.

Whether it’s transforming old shoes into garments during his university days or turning discarded items into something completely new.

Audio Tooth: Thinking Out Loud
In 2002, the “Audio Tooth” was created by James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau. A miniature audio output device and receiver that would be implanted into the tooth during a routine dental surgery. It would offer somewhat of electronic telepathy as the sound information travels directly into the consciousness. Imagine a cellphone in your tooth. The idea was never meant to be made. But Jimmy and James deployed their controversial “invention” to the press, and created a media blitz. They even created a fictitious business, MIBEC (micro-in-body-electronics-corporation) and made a promo film describing the concept. After going public, articles were printed in all the mainstream UK newspapers and TV programs. Even being named in Time Magazine as one of the best inventions of 2002.

Michael Wolf's Google Street View Series
‍Remember the afternoons spent scrolling Google Street View, hunting for something out of the ordinary within the view of something familiar? Maybe it was your school, your neighborhood, or the path you walked home. If you’re late Gen Z, this might sound like ancient history. But back in 2005, it all started with Larry Page’s Rat Trap-rigged “Street View van” venturing around San Francisco to test their new idea. The photos didn’t go public, but by 2007, the first street view images were launched across four cities, including Miami. It felt like magic, a kid inside a video game. Dragging the little yellow man anywhere you wanted. Even in places you weren't allowed to go to. Seeing your world from a new angle, zooming in, zooming out. 20 years later, and we can now time-travel through Street View. Wild, right? But let’s talk about the weird stuff. The mistakes, the nudity, the chaos. The shit Google "accidentally" left in the pictures. German artist Michael Wolf leaned into this with his project titled, 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. He spent hours trolling Google Street View for accidental moments from car crashes, fights, and tragedies. Then, he’d crop the image, photograph his screen, and curate it as his own. A bit genius. It’s like Street View became a collaborative art project for Wolf without even realizing it. Give us more Mr. Wolf, we want more.
