Jason Eppink, in collaboration with Graffiti Research Lab and The Anti-Advertising Agency, have created a simple-to-assemble box that pixelates images when placed in front of a video display. The original intention was to find a non-destructive form of art to remove the copious amount of video displays that advertise. In doing such, the module pixelates…

Created by Tim Hawkinson in 2001, the Uberogan was created to fill 15,000 Sq. foot gallery at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. On top of the piece having to be voluminous, there was also a need for the piece to use audio. The piece, using photo resistors and relays, read a roll of mylar…

In this project, Oren Horev hopes intends to, through changing their shape, computers and digital objects can provide the user with a clear understanding of their status, both tactilely and visually. The first object, InSync hard drive is cubed shaped, connects with the computer and reads/indicates the level of synchronization by twisting and misaligning its…

I really love this. It isn’t interactive in that it responds to your actions or an outside stimulus, but rather it forces you to interact with it through its diminutive scale. There are all kinds of jokes running through slinkachu’s (thats the name given on the artist’s blog) work, and if you want to catch…

Walter Kitundu, a sound artist, creates many instruments that are deserving of true works of art. Most of his work is based on phonoharps- turntables modified and retro-fitted with strings. They’re really nice to look at, even if the functionality of some of these turntables is sacrificed. Kitundu uses all sorts of materials, from wood…

I stumbled onto this site. This site shows you how to take normal everyday objects and use them in ways in which you would not have thought before. Alot of them are very dumb, but some are very clever. One of my favorites are the tennis ball earmuffs. I could also see them being made…

Warping wallpaper is the brainchild of German artist Tom Hanke. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is just a conceptual piece, but this is a real product. Coming in any pattern, the wallpaper creates the illusion of bending and skewing around the objects in your room. How it works is actually quite simple, your…

i thought this is cool because this guy is made this thing himself out old car parts bike parts and a few pieces from a down 747 so it’s quite the back yard project.

Basically what it is is a touch sensitive cube with bunch of LED’s beneath the surface. I don’t really care about the fact that you can “play” rubix cube on this thing; I personally think the real rubix cube is much cooler.. But I just like the hands on interactivity. There’s just something about actually…

I remember a little while back hearing in class about somebody who built their own hang gliders, challenging the rights as to who “owns” the air. Here’s a person who’s taken that concept a step further, building his own working helicopter out of junk he found lying around. Although it only has flown seven feet…

These subway trains for Amsterdam are the toughest out there. The government regards their hooligans as the toughest out there. Therefore, their public transport must be up to snuff to put up with the harassing nature of these hardcore hooligans, meanest of the world. Who knows, a little cleaning goes far for Denmark, who’s seen…

I assure you that I do not have an obsession with boxes, since this the second interactive box post I’ve made, I just thought this was a really cool device. It is located right outside the Shinjuku station in Tokyo. It changes between modes based on a timer and people can touch it to reach…
