Finally, a post from me with no critters in. Except for these cute lil’ smiley robots! With bike flags! Requesting your help! Kacie Kinzer is a student working on her thesis at ITP. (It’s a graduate program in alternative media.) She built these cute little guys and set ’em loose in Washington Square Park in…

I thought this installation was very obscure and interesting. It reminded me a lot of the Matrix text, moving down the screen. This was probably one of my other favorite installations from Camille Utterback, having following her previous styles of works. The part where the two guys take out the blanket was amazing; the text…

So there’s a measurement tool that reads the fans rotation. This then trigger the bigger fans. Building a small scale model and having it as a control parallels what Drew stated in class. Having the ability to control bigger and powerful machinery with the same interface as a smaller scale object. Not sure what to…

Hello everyone,I came across this video of an android, Aiko, that is capable of feeling pain and express physical and emotional discomfort. The artificial intelligence of this android is very impressive; at some point in the video the creators of Aiko purposely hurt her to demonstrate the way in which she reacts to pain. In…

A cute little way of having a hand in personalizing christmas decorations. I like that when you turn them off and on, they have different messages. It keeps them entertaining. I’ve been looking around my house looking for things I could make more interesting with LEDs lately and this video is kind of inspiring. The…

This pillow has the ability to display the clock on a soft display made on fabric under the pillow surface. It can function as an alarm and also detects snoring. for more information refer to the official website here :http://web.student.chalmers.se/groups… This is a very great idea made real.

This is a very unique interactive piece. The foldable objects makes it so much more interesting to look at. And the simulations are perfectly timed to look realistic.

I just recently found this and decided to post it. I found this to be a really cool interactive installment. Musical instruments that we all know appear on the wall and people get to interactively play them with each other. I thought this would be really fun to experience with other people. This installment allows…

The surface is an interactive, 10 meter long bar. Every glass, cup, cellphone, car key, business card or even fingers are recognized. I don’t think that this product has any real functional purpose. It is just made to look good and it does. It adds alot of character to a very simple surface. Irene Diaz…

This is a funny thing to think about projecting. The dog seems to actually be on the couch which i think make this particularly successful. I think the part where the dog jumps from one couch to the other is the big selling point. Very realistic. Irene Diaz de Leon

An interesting take on the interactive wall. It allows the audience to not only interact with the art but to also create music while doing it. Irene Diaz de Leon

I’ve seen things like this before even in malls. I don’t even know what they’re for I just see kids playing on them. But I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen one with water effects; at least not as good as these. They did an excellent job in capturing the complex characteristics of water. Irene…
