Kanye West wore a wearable led outfit to the Grammys. Kanye has a great influence in new styles and trends as displayed by the success of those funny sunglasses that no one had heard of till after he wore them. The ones with no glass but strips of non-translucent plastic instead. (Well I had seen…

At Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana three artists, Jesse Allison, John Fillwalk and Keith Kothman, created interactive wireless installation which was incorporated into an existing bell tower. Heavily reliant on digitial media the installation consists of four projection screens, computers, audio equipment, and speakers. The piece is designed to interact with the campus wireless…

Yep, art can get creepier than it already is. Golan Levin wanted to see the reaction people would have if art could literally stare back at us. The eye reacts in fashion of most humans, as it will follow your eye contact, but will break it when there is a prolonged stare. Also, it blinks…

Software engineer Jaterndijit Singh created a simple robot out of Lego Technics parts, a cheap micro controller, and an infrared interface, then attached a cellphone to it that could control the the little robot’s arms and wheels via an IR link. The robot is called Temo (telephone operated mobile internet robot) and can be controlled…

This could be one of the craziest and coolest works of web art i have ever seen. If you read the web address it has the word seizure in it, which is very fitting to this work. It is hard to describe what is going on when you open it up, but it looks like…

This piece is “Girl With Ice Cream” by artist Alexandra Stratimirovic. What I find so appealing about it is the contrast of moving forward with materials (metal, white opal plexiglass, glass liquid containers, colored water and flourescent lamps) and giving the work, even the subject matter, an impressionistic feel. It also draws links to works…

This isn’t your average fire extinguisher. In fact, it isn’t a fire extinguisher at all. Rather than just reading how to use one, this is an extinguisher that you can use for practice in case you ever need to use the real thing. The “Bullseye” fire extinguisher uses laser technology to simulate normal household fire…

The year 2000 came and went and we still do not have flying cars, jet packs, or robotic butlers. But we are slowly taking small steps towards the cool aspects of sci-fi technology. Researches from USC have created a 3-D holographic display. Created by spinning a mirror covered with a “holographic diffuser,” a special DVI…

Hektor is a programmable graffiti robot. It could technically make its compositions via any substance inserted in its miniscule grip, but its power is in its flexibility. Jürg Lehni and Uli Franke conceived of this device, based on Jürg’s javascript interface for Adobe Illustrator that allows the direction/pathing of spaces for Hektor to navigate. Hektor…

This photos shows a “Bio-Art” project by Adam Zaretsky that involved Zaretsky playing Engelbert Humperdinck music next to a sample of E. Coli in order to find out whether or not sounds and/or vibrations influenced the growth of bacteria. This art form is very interesting to me because of the certain aspect of not having…
