Nervous System in video and print

Posted: October 17th, 2012 | Author: Jessica Rosenkrantz | Filed under: press | No Comments »

Shapeways produced a short video on us! The video was filmed by Stephan Malik who showed up direct from the airport with nothing more than a suitcase of dSLR cameras and spent the better part of a day filming us and picking our brains in the studio.  Somehow he condensed his hours of footage into a minute and half of video set to cool music.  You can watch it above.

We are also featured in print in Boston Home magazine where they ran an article on our studio in Somerville.  You can read it online here: Geek Chic.  Special thanks to Lindsay Tucker who wrote the article and the excellent Ken Richardson who spent a day at the studio photographing it!

Dendrite earrings (24kt gold plated) are featured in this month’s Lucky Magazine

The article features the favorite items of electro-pop singer Olga Bell who says “I mostly buy jewelry in antique shops, but I really like these – they’re inspired by coral.”  I’ve never heard of Olga Bell before, but she is clearly a cool chick.  Thanks for picking us Olga!

Nervous System in El Pais, 2.1 million readers!

Posted: April 14th, 2008 | Author: Jessica Rosenkrantz | Filed under: press | 3 Comments »

A few months ago we did an interview over email with a journalist from El Pais, which Wikipedia dubs “the most widely-circulated daily newspaper in Spain.” Last week it was finally published! You can read the article (in Spanish) here:

“Estudiantes del MIT diseñan bisutería con algoritmos”

It is amazing to reach 2.1 million readers in a country so far away.
