djmixed news - Technical Aesthetics:
"Wallpaper, with its proud and boring history, has finally become obsolete. Originally invented by the Chinese 200 years before Christ, it’s soon to be as extinct as the Han dynasty. Instead, a digitally re-mastered form is taking shape; an upgrade that allows you to change a wall’s look as easily as your computer’s desktop, and control a room’s lighting by touching an elegant pattern, or even activating the latest in lowbrow girly pin-ups. Imagine reading e-mail or cell phone text messages across this same surface, while slothfully adjusting the thermostat by reaching your holiday-plumped mass over the arm of your La-Z-Boy, and using your greasy sausage-link finger to smudge the wall up to 78. Well, daydream no more my little cherub; the wait is (almost) over."
