Endless rain

I’ve always been obsessed with rain, maybe just because I’m from a place where rain is something quite usual, even in summer. Anyway, I think that rain is really soothing and beautiful, and let’s no forget that it cleans the air, especially in urban environments —if you live in a city, like me, I’m sure you are aware of that.

Some time ago a friend sent me a link to a record, the Endless Rain Record, that plays the sound of rain endlessly and right now I was thinking about it, maybe because I miss the rain. The idea is by Kyouei Design and I love it!

Soul Recovery Systems

“Soul Recovery Systems is an interactive, creative and free emotional garbage disposal service providing people with an opportunity to rid themselves of objects that hinder their lives.”

I’m sure that all of us have some soul trash that we want to get rid of, and SRS offers a beautiful and creative way to eliminate objects with profound emotional connections. Their headquarters, where the “trash will undergo a cleansing process from start to finish” is in Portland, a little far maybe? You can send your object by ordinary mail, they will take care of it “whether by fire, flood, recycling, burial, or any other appropriately suggested form of dissolve.”

All objects “are captured in photographic and video formats, and soon after, buried inside the digital landfill where the less burdened can view their once hindering objects in digital form.”
