Mez Breeze, an Australian-based internet artist, developed an artsy, poetic language called mezangelle. The language is composed of hybrid words combining various elements of code and informal speech. The linked page uses mezangelle in combination with what can be called its visual equivalents, edited combination images that utilize elements of the human body. The page…

Multi-Input Touch Screen
As many of us are most likely very familiar with touch screen devices, many of us may not even think twice about how you can only use 1 finger at a time. This video shows a large sized touch screen with multiple inputs. This means that you can use more than one hand at a…
Pollen sniffing robots in Japan
Yes, you read the title right. Weathernews Inc. is putting white spherical robots to work in Japan. 200 are being deployed by volunteers outside their houses and will track the pollen count in the air. The data is accumulated on their website and the goal is to track the levels of cedar and cypress pollen….
Daniel Rozen’s Mechanical Mirrors
Daniel Rozen’s Wooden Mirror’s use sophisticated camera systems, computer software, and electric motors to instantly reflect whatever is within the camera’s view. This new take on a item most of use everyday and instead of the checking for stray hairs or food in our teeth we usually use a mirror for, we can really see…
Mineral Oil Submerged Computer
Nothing is cooler than seeing a custom pc set-up, except when seeing that the pc runs while in liquid. These guys provide a how-to on creating a pc submerged in mineral oil. They chose to take on this task because the other demonstrations out there did not function as well or look as cool. Not…
Timeless Universe
“Timeless Universe” is the title of Paul Friedlander’s latest work. His pieces are installations of kinetic light sculpture. The flowing images are ephemeral in that they are continuously changing and never repeat. The concept is based on cosmology, physics and contemplative thought. Mixed throughout the sculptures are mathmatical equations and ancient text. He uses video…
Mega Flashlight
Ralf Ottow is a man who has been making lights sense he was a kid, and now has constructed a flash light powerful enough to touch the clouds. Ottow is an optics engineer from Holland who has been working on the “Maxablaster” flashlight. the Maxablaster is made up of a highly powerful mercury arc bulb….
New and Improved Volcano
Its makers say the Volcano Digit is accurate, bringing that herb to ± 1.5°C of the perfect vaporization temperature. No more confusing switches and dials, the new and improved Volcano shows its progress to you in big bright LEDs, so you’ll be able to read no matter how toasted you are. Thanks again to the…
Virtual L.E.S.
Possibly the stupidest new online social interaction site. Become a virtual hipster in the trendy Lower East Side or LES of New York City. It’s like Myspace meets Simlife meets Scenesters. I thinks it’s a place for bands and fans to network. The sites maybe not the worst idea when you consider the cost of…
Ferrofluid Sculpture
Sachiko Kodama’s pieces work with ferrofluid and a computer controlling system to modify magnetic fields, which direct the ferrofluid. Ferrofluid (“iron fluid”) is a mixture of magnetic particles suspended in oil, which react to magnetic fields. Kodama studied Physics, Plastic Art, Mixed Media, Computer and Holographical Art. She is currently an associate professor at the…
Apple Air
Apple Air is Apples’ latest and greatest innovation with its light weight and sleek look. However it seems as though in apples’ attempt to make a laptop more convenient user friendly they made a device that is more susceptible to problems. For example the laptop does not come equip with a disk drive. It also…
Scientists crack genetic code and produce the Spider-Goat hybrid
The newest breakthrough in genetic modifying god complex that the Nexia corporation holds dear- Scientists create the most advanced spider silk synthetic through the splicing of goat and spider genetics. The female goat, loaded with her spider mutation capabilities, will spin the precious spider silk as part of a byproduct in her milk. Spider silk…
