Steve Zieverink founded the Unit 2 Art Collective, is in the graduate program here at UIC, and is my teacher for Introduction to Time-Based Arts. 12 + 12 is an interactive piece that depicts the mathematical relations between sound and light wave frequencies.

This is a responsive holograph. It looks like it can happen.
Amazing Animation
This spring I will be getting my degree in Moving Image, I work mainly in video and film but recently have been more and more interested in animation and computer graphics. Anyway while searching around on line I found this trailer for a beautiful stop-motion-animated feature-length horror film from the Czech Republic called “One Night…
“Get a Broken- Heart Robot to accompany you, if you just got dumped!” This is the main selling point for this toy/robot. the name of this object is a bit misleading but, i really believe that this is only a TOY robot. it’s supposed to make you feel better about being dumped or better about…
Coffee Art
I found this and figured it was perfect for my Responsive arts class since ewe all seem to need coffee at 9 when we all stroll in. I think it is interesting how people have come up with so many unique ways to create art. I mean who was the first person to sit down…
flowerbot
Im really interested in censors, it really makes responsive art….well responsive art. Mass producing this into a mass flower army can be another idea as well. A garden of respponsive flowers more or less.

It’s essentially a visual representation of the scale of every spaceship and creature from movies or shows that start with “star-” or “babylon-.” Interestingly enough, Russell…
Dancing Sony Robots
These are the new Sony’s QURO robots which can dance and they move really smoothly considering that the humans biped locomotion is quite challanging for humanoid robots. The QUROs can also react to the environment and get up from a fall, throw a ball since they have full arm movement, as well as voice/face recognition,…
Human ExoSkeleton
Most designers know that most of the materials and products that we casually enjoy as life convenience were first used in some military application or other. Here is another example of something that is quite revolutionary but could become mainstream in the next 5-10 years. It’s an exoskeleton much like that of insects in that…
