David Edwards, a professor of biomedical engineering at Harvard University, wanted to know. In the fall of 2007, he came up with the idea of “eating by breathing” while opening the Foodlab at Le Laboratoire, an experimental art and design space in Paris. Later he asked his students at Harvard to think about where the idea might lead.

The result, introduced in April, is Le Whif, a lipstick-size inhaler filled with chocolate particles but with less than a single calorie. I have tried it. Next step: A molecular cuisine experience at the Lab just behind the exhibition centre.

Ciro Najle, Argentine artist and architect, created Cumulus. He worked alongside engineers, scientits an water experts in Chile to design fog-collecting nets. Informed by this research, his complex cloudlike installation was developped using computer-numerical technology and constructed using crochet ( a 2 week hand made work by argentine artisan women of Buenos Aires). Cumulus reflects a broader engagement of Le Laboratoire to explore design solutions to achieving wider and more equitable access to fresh water globally. Nice experience for a cold Saturday in Paris.

Dear Flickr buddies,

I didnt know which photography to choose to illustrate my last year's message to you. I chose this shot taken after my graduation ceremony at Paris Institute of Political Studies - Sciences Po Paris last December 8th. This day reminds me of all efforts every one of us have made in a wide range of areas, some of them were successful, others not.
My very sincere wishes are that you and me go on keeping to make efforts towards our projects and our dreams. As a christian man, I also believe that we should do everything we can to reach our goals, but at the same time we trust in God our will, our projects and we ask Him to support us, to guide us, to give us discernement, wisdom and humility, peace and true love. May Emmanuel, God with us, fill our heart throughout 2012 !
