AKA Graffiti Exhibit Closing Show- Aug 30

With the success of the opening show we had to do it again. We are going to have another round of custom bikes!! The event will be on Saturday August 30 6-10pm

FIVEten Studio X Broakland Fixie

This bike was conceived for three reasons, 1st, for its pure form and beauty, 2nd, for the only diet I have left that might just work, 3rd for the respect of bay area builder's. This was a collaboration with Broakland which put this Knight Rider on the road, All flat black, with a 5 and dime logo, can't go wrong!

In conjunction with Graffiti FIVEten will be displaying track bikes and other custom bikes aswell. Broakland  X FIVEten - Broakland bikes are collaborating on a special track bike for the show. Other local builders will be providing special bikes for the show, i.e Manifesto bikes (Oakland), Mission bikes ( San Francisco), Shorty Fatz ( San Jose). We believe that the bikes are  another form of Graffiti or even a form of functional art, or some can say a furniture piece. These bicycles project bueaty and zen in its pure form. Our goal is to showcase the bikes as another piece of furniture in your home.

Boston Dynamics' Big Dog Robot

Boston Dynamics is an engineering company that specializes in robotics and human simulation. "BigDog" is "the most advanced quadruped robot on earth". It's movements mimic that of various animals with a control system that allows it balance, steer, and navigate. Notice its reflexes and adaptability when someone tries to kick it off balance and as it slips over icy conditions.

Opening Reception for Proliferation

Annalisa Vobis' opening reception hit it off this past Friday. Each piece tempted you to reach out and touch it. The coral like forms with their tropical colors just popped as you passed by the gallery windows in the evening. All her pieces beg the attention to be seen upclose with their curious tactile details. This show is worth visiting and can be seen at FIVEten Studio until July 29.

The New Industrial Revolution

This Dynamic Tower created by architect Dr. David Fisher is the first rotating skyscraper to be self powered and completely prefabricated. This amazing feat of architecture and engineering will revolutionize the way we build and live. Between each rotating floor is a wind turbine allowing it to generate energy for itself as well as for other nearby structures.

“Today's life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our mood, buildings will follow the rhythms of nature, they will change direction and shape from spring to summer, from sunrise to sunset, and adjust themselves to the weather, buildings will be alive. From now on, buildings will have four dimensions, the fourth dimension is ‘Time' to become part of architecture”

The first rotating tower will be constructed in Dubai and the second in Moscow with plans to build the third in New York. Rotating Tower Technology Company, headed by the Dynamic Architecture Group, announced the opening on June 24 of the reservations list for the first Dynamic Tower in Dubai.
