Can relationships and love be explained though circuits and electricity?Ok, this is kind of silly and is not about about responsive arts per se, but I was so happy to be able to understand what this guy was talking about (in electronics terms) and the whole thing sounds so funny that I had to post…

I wonder what is the point of paying for a machine that does such a simple task that even a child could perform without difficulty.Methods of destroying a Disc is so practical it can be done with just two hands. If want lack strength or the motivation of cracking a disk in half there are…

an interactive installation that converts everyone’s speech into a pattern to be visualized on a television. it does this by representing the sounds in English through a writing system. the shapes that are formed by the sounds appear as “sharp” or “smooth” etc. visual patterns. it reminds me of the visual effects on media players…

The SoniColumn by Jin-Yo Mok is a simple design in which LEDs light up when touched and are played as the notes of a music box as one turns the crank controlling the tall column of lights. It is meant to be a look into the relationship that digital art has with analog art. It…

It uses audio tones to help the user maintain an optimal level and speed of compressions.” This COULD potentially save lives, but the…

Around 2 years ago, when the common Pentium 4 was around 2.6gHz, a group of overclocking fanatics attempted to break the world record for the fastest clock speed. Their goal was to successfully clock a Pentium 4 processor at 5 gHz. Back in the day, I was a hardcore overclocker (until I blew up my…

Since it is Valentine’s Day I found this thing called “The Dumpster”. It is an interactive blog that teenagers use to display their relationship problems. You can compare and contrast the different things they have written which were found through millions of online blogs. Kena

This system is called the Fabcell system, comprising of black fabric and compounded Fabcell modules, and a controller. Will designers be interested in this product or will it…
