Interactive robots can make you laugh….

While this installation is a few years old, the randomness, the silliness and the good-natured humor celebrate it’s inventiveness. Who would need new nuclear bombs, nano-medicine or shrimp bandages? http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?article_id=218391915&cat=2_4

I thought that this is a great integration of sound and visual clips. Each sound seams to trigger a new image or continue the progression in the current one. Good idea. I would like to see if we could interact with one of these programs in class. Maybe by the end of the semester.

I can see me in another

Camille Utterback

I had already been looking at Camille Utterback’s Text Rain piece before class and wanted to do my post on it, but since we discussed it in class I decided to explore Utterback’s work further in search of a new subject.What I found out is that all of her projects interest me, not only because…

Wicked Laser

This is the sickest laser I have ever seen. I have never seen a high power laser that can actually burn a hole through objects. Ya and there are a few objects that it cant make a dent in but with the right technology and additional modifications, I believe it can burn through anything. This…

Eat You Up

“Eat You Up” by Aaron Koblin is a very interesting take on interaction art. The viewer is presented with a touch screen where you are asked a series of questions about your diet. After answering these a formula based on the different acids and salt in your body is made. This is then used to…

THE WORLD IS TOO WARM!…
