Etch-A-Sketch Clock

Found this a while back. i thought it was a cool experiment but a really stupid idea because who has time to wait a full 20 secs for a EAS to draw out the time. I’m unsure whether pure data was used but it was built on Arduino which is a computing platform which can be used…

Ghost iPod

I thought this was particularly interesting because it relates not only what we’ve done in my responsive arts class, but it applies to the unexpected and the results are an amazing effect. My guess is that they used the accelerometer in the iPod touch to sync with the Pure Data audio.

Mirror Sculpture

I found this sculpture to be very, very cool. I’m pretty new to this realm of art, so i can’t really comment on any technical procedures, but I must say it’s amazing what technology is doing in the arts today. I did do some research in Daniel Rozin, (the artist), who is the associate art…

robot projector

Unfortunately, whetever idiot posted this video on you tube lacked the attention span to wait and see if this thing actually projects anything, which I doubt, but it’s still pretty awesome to see it pop and lock its business all over the place.

simple robot hand

Hey so I was thinking about our project and wanted to find a simpler way of creating movement and functionality. I found this one to be pretty simple but it still looks like it has a lot of potential. Its not as bulky as all the other stuff out there.

Jellyfish robot: AquaJelly & AirJelly – Sexy Robots Videos

These aqua jelly and air jelly fish are so delicate. Altough they are robot, these jelly fish dance smoothly and elegantly whether in water or air. The aqua jelly fish is built in an electric drive and an perceptive mechanical system. There are several robots autonomously running with a communication system gathered with Zigbee short-range…

Arduino christmas lights?

Yes. I admit a total fascination with creative LED applications. And I’m not particularly into having a crapload of lights all over the front of my house and lawn (if i had those) but I think this light show is very well done.

Oblong’s g-speak

Do you remember the movie Minority Report and the style of computer interface they were using ? If so, then that futuristic concept of interface is one step closer to reality. One of the science advisers from the Steven Spielberg film, along with a team of other genius visionaries, has created a real-world implementation of…
