This project uses a variety of sensors, Max/MSP, Jitter, and an Arduino to create an interactive virtual environment. I like the augmented plants. When the user touches the plants they create different types of musical notes. Another favorite part is the pressure sensitive moss. There is a lot more information and pictures on the website. […]
”Baglady 2.0″ is a performance piece that integrates a normal handbag with an antenna and embedded board that enables live, wireless sound, text, and video broadcasting. The bag also integrates GPS to integrate the location of the broadcast into the mix. The intention of the project is to “explore how the mediations of public and […]
This bus stop billboard ad spotted in Australia was made using 7,563 individual pieces of dice turned into pixels to form a giant face.

“Line” by lighting designer James Clar attempts to recreate color data systems through illuminating full-spectrum control of tri-color LEDs along its five foot array. The piece is basically a clock, where the RGB values are mapped to hours, minutes, and second creating trippy patterns that change throughout the day. Line by James Clar
What happens when you release a 3D movement dataset of Thom Yorke’s head? Somebody uses it to recreate the video, frame by frame, in LEGO (Watch the high quality vid for the best experience). Via Create Digital Motion. More: RA DIOHEA_D / HOU SE OF_C ARDS – Radiohead releases data set Radiohead on a Sinclair […]
The above video interview with Sean Montgomery was recorded at the recent Last HOPE conference where Mr. Montgomery exhibited his line of ‘Vital Threads’ projects. These wearable devices display realtime biological sensor data as visible (and boldly fashionable) adornment. Included in the collection – the Heart-on Shirt which pulses light in sync with Electrocardiogram readings, […]
