Tree of 40 Fruit
Sam Van Aken, an artist and professor at Syracuse University, uses "chip
grafting" to create trees that each bear 40 different varieties of
stone fruits, or fruits with pits. The grafting process involves slicing
a bit of a branch with a bud from a tree of one of the varieties and
inserting it into a slit in a branch on the "working tree," then
wrapping the wound with tape until it heals and the bud starts to grow
into a new branch. Over several years he adds slices of branches from
other varieties to the working tree. In the spring the "Tree of 40
Fruit" has blossoms in many hues of pink and purple, and in the summer
it begins to bear the fruits in sequence - Van Aken says it's both a work
of art and a time line of the varieties' blossoming and fruiting. He's
created more than a dozen of the trees that have been planted at sites
such as museums around the U.S., which he sees as a way to spread
diversity on a small scale.

Y-3 Autumn/Winter 2015-16 Campaign
This A/W15 season Y-3 takes flight, back to the days of the original
pioneer, the forerunners of modern aviation. Back to the men and women
who dared to go further, higher, and faster than ever before, and to the
time where human achievement pushed the boundaries for all. This A/W15
campaign takes the nostalgia of the golden age of flight into the modern
world of the bold 3 stripes and Yohji Yamamoto’s high-tech designs.
Shot by Harley Weir and directed by Lloyd&Co, the campaign images evoke a heroic and ethereal nature through distorted senses of height and perspective, creating an extreme sense of vertigo. The aviators display bold and graphic shapes iconic to the Y-3 brand, cast against a clear blue sky, as the wind picks up and creates flight and movement in an otherwise sharp and tailored sense of military-inspired apparel.
The A/W15 film plays out this sense of vertigo even further, not knowing which way is up or down, the aviators appear to be in constant flight. Historic notions of code breaking and aviation radar chatter reverberate throughout, messages from mission control guiding the flight.
The campaign showcases the high-tech, military-inspired apparel in an ethereal world of aerial imagery and blue skies, translated into print, digital, a mood video, in-store displays and supplementary materials.

Аna Kraš: Bombonice
The Serbian designer takes a cultural tour of Belgrade for Aaron Rose.
While a fast-rising presence in the design world, Аna Kraš shies away from overthinking her creative approach. An offbeat personal style, coveted by fashion and music industry collaborators, reflects the hyper-intuitive approach that she applies to her artisanal furniture line. From ‘Bonbons,’ the multicolored lantern lampshades she makes with leftover cotton, to her gallery-exhibited drawings that echo medieval architecture, the influence of Kraš’s native Serbia is never far away.
In the third installment of MINI’s The Cultural series, the New York-based creative travels to Belgrade to explore the cultural traditions that influence her work. The Aaron Rose-directed short is an architectural tour of the Serbian capital and playfully captures Kraš’s magpie spirit. “Most things happen to me because I wasn’t making a plan,” she says. “Rather, I was going with the flow.”
All of the films in The Cultural ascribe to the idea that our biggest decisions in life should be made by following our gut instincts.
