Co.Create: Creativity \ Culture \ Commerce: Are you a recovering high school geek who still can’t get the girl? Are you always the last person picked for your company’s softball team?

Failure Is The Only Option, If Success Is The End Goal

Fast Company: There are two sides to every story: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times; you take the bitter with the sweet; every rose has its thorn.

Video: Giant kinetic moving sculpture walls wow in South Korea

DVICE: Giant 3D video displays can be pretty cool, but it's hard for a virtual 3D effect to compete with an actually moving 3D display. This crazy wall design built for the Hyundai Motor Group's Exhibition Pavilion is a great example, with giant walls of moving blocks creating patterns that wow a bunch of visiting school kids.
