There have been different experiments with people hooking electrodes up to his/her [or someone’s] face with the result of controlling some sort of twitching facial movement from a third party. Usually, it’s about as useful as it sounds. It’s sort of like a more dignified “why are you hitting yourself.” This video makes it a…

This is an instructional video demonstrating how easy it is to access live webcam feeds from any camera connected to the net. Use wisely.

Honda is developing a mind reading technology and applying it to its robot Asimo. This technology is in its first stage, and the robot fails to understand the commands from time to time.

(It’s a graduate program in alternative media.) She built these cute little guys and set ’em loose in Washington Square Park in…

I thought this installation was very obscure and interesting. It reminded me a lot of the Matrix text, moving down the screen. This was probably one of my other favorite installations from Camille Utterback, having following her previous styles of works. The part where the two guys take out the blanket was amazing; the text…

So there’s a measurement tool that reads the fans rotation. This then trigger the bigger fans. Building a small scale model and having it as a control parallels what Drew stated in class. Having the ability to control bigger and powerful machinery with the same interface as a smaller scale object. Not sure what to…

Hello everyone,I came across this video of an android, Aiko, that is capable of feeling pain and express physical and emotional discomfort. The artificial intelligence of this android is very impressive; at some point in the video the creators of Aiko purposely hurt her to demonstrate the way in which she reacts to pain. In…

I’ve been looking around my house looking for things I could make more interesting with LEDs lately and this video is kind of inspiring. The…
