Oscar Wilde famously quipped “Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.”
When an artist allows the creative process to trump the ho-hum banalities of everyday life, there can be some interesting results.
What if the act of making art could cast the mold for a year in the making?

Charlie Clarke cautions against throwing a Skyaak Model 3 around in the house, something might get broken!

Skyaak developer Dylan Cooke shows the latest Skyaak R&D advance, an LED light array that enables night-time play.

I am here to tell you [...]
