Im really interested in censors, it really makes responsive art….well responsive art. Mass producing this into a mass flower army can be another idea as well. A garden of respponsive flowers more or less.

Kinetic Lizard
This is a short cool video that I suddenly found. The cripy kinetic lizard sculpture attracted everyone’s attention on the street. The guy was riding the kinetic lizard using his feet to control its speed. There are wheels on the lizard’s feet which can help it moving faster. I really like this kinetic art because…
TOOL
TOOL is one of the best bands that I ever heard or seen. They create incredibly artstic pieces. This song Sober is one of my favorites. All of there videos have crazy mind blowing things happening. It looks like little clay figures moving around by themselves. These videos are a little creepy but at the…
Question: How many Godzillas could fit inside the Death Star?
Answer: A shitload. Jeff Russel’s Starship Dimensions is one of those sites that are so fascinating and so nerdy that you can’t help but look at every single page. It’s essentially a visual representation of the scale of every spaceship and creature from movies or shows that start with “star-” or “babylon-.” Interestingly enough, Russell…
Dancing Sony Robots
These are the new Sony’s QURO robots which can dance and they move really smoothly considering that the humans biped locomotion is quite challanging for humanoid robots. The QUROs can also react to the environment and get up from a fall, throw a ball since they have full arm movement, as well as voice/face recognition,…
Human ExoSkeleton
Most designers know that most of the materials and products that we casually enjoy as life convenience were first used in some military application or other. Here is another example of something that is quite revolutionary but could become mainstream in the next 5-10 years. It’s an exoskeleton much like that of insects in that…

you may be out of a job pretty soon
Artistically these machines or robots may be not so attractive, but they may soon and already have put people out of work. Mainly used for building cars, these robots are very useful to keep costs low. So if you ever start an auto company, you may want to think about getting one of these bad…
Light Mesh Facade
James Clar, an interactive lighting designer, is developing an LED mesh structure that will eventually be installed on a hotel in Barcelona, Spain. During the day, individual nodes within the mesh collect and read sunlight amplitude. At night, the structure processes the light collected by the nodes to emit different color patterns with numerous LEDs….
Robotic Fish
The University of Washington has designed three robotic fish. These fish are a great example of automata. They can swim seperatley on their own, but are also beginnig to work together and swim in schools. Eventually they will be set out into open waters and used to track such things as underwater pollution source, whales,…
Flying Manta Ray
This flying manta ray is just a mylar balloon stretched around a skeleton and filled with helium. I’m sure the machine is not very complicated at all, considering that it has to be lighter enough to be carried by helium. The mechanical parts probably aren’t much more complicated than the toys we took apart last…
