As you may have gathered from our previous coverage, a temporary pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival was inaugurated for the screening of Kanye West’s debut short film Cruel Summer. The pavilion, with a design led by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, is a raised pyramid containing a seven-screen cinema designed by West’s creative team, Donda.

The pavilion is designed to immerse the audience in a space defined by seven screens of cinematic proportions (17′ x 17′, 17′x30”). Shot with a custom seven-camera rig in Qatar, Cruel Summer was envisioned for this space as a constellation of projections that wrap around the audience.

Located along Palm Beach, the pyramid’s canopy is hemmed to open up a panoramic backdrop of Cannes and the Mediterranean while creating an effect of levitation above the red carpet. Filmgoers ascend into the pyramid along a continuous red carpet that widens into the 200 seat auditorium.

The pyramid was open for two days of public screenings on May 24 and 25.

Ferrari on the outside, bike on the inside. This Fahrradi Farfalla FFX  by Han-Lan slaps on a beautiful Ferrari-esque body onto a bike making it one extremely slow moving vehicle. We say so because it would be pedaled by a person and with the additional weight of the body, well we’re sure the novelty of riding one of these around would wear off quickly. Anyway, it’s a neat concept and would be pretty cool to own one for the purposes of showing off.

Facebook Camera has just barely been announced, but that didn’t stop Gizmodo from pitting the new application against another similar app: Instagram. The two apps share many similarities, but there’s also some differences such as the amount of filters, which favors Instagram. Other key points that Gizmodo points out are the fact that Instagram shows you photos of people you actually follow, while Camera shows you photos from ALL of your friends on Facebook with no way of filtering. Anyway, read the full article here.

What do you guys make of this new Facebook Camera app?

This Gordons Bay House is one exceptional home. Created by Luigi Rosselli Architects, this Sydney, Australia hillside abode has features a great overall design. The use of concrete is probably the first thing that sticks out, as well as the overhangs adding a level of complexity. The house also sits on a hill overlooking the nearby bay presenting a great view to wake up to every day. Other highlights for us include the fireplace, pool and the tiling in the restroom.

Take a closer look at the house after the jump.

me Collectors Room Berlin will be presenting one of the largest collections of figurines/toys and street art in Europe, if not the world – collected over the last 20 and more years by Selim Varol.The exhibition is incredibly large and it includes a total of 3,000 works by more than 200 artists and designers from over 20 countries. Works from KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Futura, Jose Parla and tons more will be on display. We have a huge recap of the event showing you what’s on display in case you can’t make it out to see it in person.

The volume of works from our favorite artists present in this exhibition is simply incredible. Collecting toys and art for the last 20 years already, the exhibition shows many pieces that we have shown here before, but also many that were produced before our site existed. We are not sure, there has ever been an exhibition giving such a global view on the toy and street art universe, making it a very unique experience.

The exhibition opens its doors officially tomorrow at 3pm and the opening will be accompanied until 10pm with DJs.

Art & Toys: The Collection of Selim Varol
me Collectors Room Berlin
Auguststrasse 68
10117 Berlin

The exhibition runs until September 26th, 2012.

After having worked with Caminando in the past on boots, Ronnie Fieg will be introducing a new summer style this week at his KITH NYC stores. He chose to work on the ‘Nolita’ lace-up shoe this time and gave it black, navy and leopard uppers. The Ronnie Fieg name is placed on the in-sole, while KITH is embossed on the tongue. Contrasting outer soles are an extra twist on the casual shoe, which is perfect for the summer months and goes well with both chinos and shorts.

Priced at 200 USD a pair, the shoes release today at KITH stores and in the KITH online store at 10am EST.

INSA was invited by LA Freewalls to take on a massive project by painting what is now the largest mural in Los Angeles. The mural was done on the LA Artshare building in the Arts District of Downtown LA and we now present you with a before and after look at the building. If you’re familiar with that part of town, we encourage you to go check it out firsthand. Another cool tidbit of information, is that the project was also made possible by a Twitter fan funding experiment that clearly was successful. See more info here.
