From the MAKE Flickr pool … where no LED has gone before. Observe the maiden voyage of a tiny space-faring ship. Upon encountering the above-seen “magnetic anomaly” the ship’s onboard magnetic reed switch is activated. Chief engineer Origamiwolf explains the ship’s schematics – A resistor is added to each of the red LED branches; this […]
Flickr member Mandiberg shows off a product sure to top holiday wish lists this year – If you take a bunch of those ubiquitous iPod headphones you have sitting around from all of your broken iPods, and your ex-GF’s broken iPod, etc, and weave them together, you can make something really quite nice.

Aaron ALAI’s interactive sound piece, titled Stochasticity, explores the contrasrt of imprecise human behavior against rigid techological systems – and it looks like fun too. When someone uses my art piece they are directly interacting with a very precise electronic tool. It produces musical tones based on the amount of resistance sensed in trails of […]
Ranjit Bhatnagar and Nick Yulman are working on this sound sculpture for the Coney Island Museum; I think it’s coming along swimmingly!
