...Antony Gormley's $A500,000 Inside Australia sculpture project. For the 2003 Perth International Arts Festival, the Englishman digitally scanned each able-bodied citizen of Menzies (about 130 of them at the time), tweaked their dimensions on a computer screen, and cast their skeletal cores in a mix of stainless steel and trace elements found at the lake. What we get is a town reduced to its bare bones - "boobs" and all. (By drastically slenderizing his subjects, Gormley makes these and other intimate appendages protrude like sausages on sticks.) But if outsiders care to linger with these Insiders...
Method brought groovy design to the dreary world of home-cleaning products with dish-washing soaps in bottles designed by Karim Rashid. Now aesthetes cum cleaners can stock up on the company's almond-scented wood polish and stainless-steel cleaner. Like the smell but not the scrubbing?

Any student awake at 9 a.m. would have to be fully caffeinated to notice the unobtrusive loading bay, but FM photographer Laura C. Settlemyer ’05 and I are in possession of directions and know where to go. Not quite caffeinated ourselves, we stand among the idling vehicles, waiting for what promised to be a no-holds-barred tour of the Harvard University Dining Services’ (HUDS) central kitchen facility...
...only arena in which funky new machines have come into play. “Instead of having a chicken marinate for two days,” Allen says, “we can marinate 500 pounds of chicken in 15 minutes” in what resembles a stainless steel bingo hopper. Allen kindly asks us not to photograph the remnants of raw chicken inside. We oblige...
