andrea polli sent me this link about a fellow, bjorn schulke, that does amazing robotic experiments involving solar panels, monitors, live feeds etc. Check him out.

Liquid Space is a space which physically reacts to the behavior of the visitor. Through the use of sensors, software and mechanisms, the space changes in form and sound. This way, a dynamic situation is created in which visitor and space become one.Liquid 2.0 which is under development is an interactive living cocoon which physically…

A group called C-Level (now disbanded) have modified a video game into a modded performance art fighting system that allows the player to feel pain emanating from the actual battle. Players are wired to electric bands that mimics the pain from the video game. The group travels around to venues and straps on willing participants….

This interactive table is pretty simple and works just as you probably have guessed – the LED lights light up around the object you put on the table. I’m not really liking the pulsing effect but each to their own. I think we can make something like this using photo resistors too(except it wont work…

Normally I’m not a huge fan of Microsoft, but I have to admit, this thing is pretty cool. It really reminds me of the table computer Sean Bean’s character had in “The Island.” While not as sophisticated as throwing windows across the table or designing a boat, there are several applications written for it already,…

A cool little thing I found online, Pandora Radio allows you to pick artists you like and then will create playlists based on the music’s “genome”. For example, if you like a song with heavy rock influences, light beats, and a unique voice, the radio will play songs with similar styles of music. It doesn’t…

This project comes from UnitedVisualArtists, a group specializing in the combination of art, design, and technology- and Battles, a ridunkulosly sweet band from New York. UVA created LED installations that create a great minimalistic contrast to the environment the video was filmed in. Although there’s nothing too groundbreaking going on here, the LED installations create…

I found this radomly on some website. The artists names are Tim Nobel and Sue Webster. The site does not provide any information about these artists so I had to look elsewhere. I found out that their pieces are on display in the New York museum of contemporary art. I also found out that the…

Cell phone towers are usually ugly right? Shaped like ugly antennas trying to be disguised as metal trees. No ones really likes having those around their town. At least the average person with a bit of aesthetics in their body. You may not know, but whenever they go up in an area, property value actually…

If you want to see some amazing things done without electronics, you should take a look at Japanese karakuri. They’re purely mechanical dolls usually powered by water and clockwork. The Dashi Karakuri link on the page tells about giant floats with dolls that would dance and play music as the float was pulled along. There’s…
