Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l’oeil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. Well, I’ve always admired his clever works and I think he’s a real…

These times, the body itself can be implanted by the net result of thousands of years of evolutionary technological advancement. Although the goals proposed by nanotechnicians are that of human…

Immediately while reading the paper about posthumanism, I thought about the relatively unknown concept of the Neo-Humans. I was reminded about the time scales of the human population. It took two billion years for evolution of life on Earth, six million for the hominid, a hundred thousand years for mankind as we know it. So…

John Whitney pioneered computer-generated animation art, beginning in the 1950s, when he invented a mechanical analogue computer to create his experimental computer animation work. He created this computer by repurposing a WWII antiaircraft gun detector. Whitney created templates for his designs, and placed them on three rotating tables, which allowed for multi-layered animation design. Design…

Markus Lerner created these seven towers with over 110,000 LED’s each. The towers collect traffic data in Munich, Germany, and use wave patterns to depict the corresponding traffic situations in the area. As traffic increases, the waves at the bottom of the panels get larger and increase in speed. There is also a spark which…

Nicknamed the FLARE system, the kinetic ambient reflection membrane functions as an adaptable building surface. Each individual unit of the system functions as a movable metallic mirror controlled by computer guided pistons. These pistons move each unit to reflect ambient and direct light off of the bright sky and the darker ground. When acting together,…
