ASCIImeo

January 19th, 2010

ASCIImeo is a project by Peter Nitsch. It’s a video player which renders Vimeo videos in ASCII. You can choose between 3 different modes, but the block mode is definitely my favorite. Here you can see the ASCIImeo version of Scintillation. The screenshots below are cropped, I didn’t want to scale them down, the color patterns are just too nice.

Antagonistic Books

January 19th, 2010

Antagonistic Books is a set of two books made by Zach Gage. They turn the emotions and actions surrounding the banning of books into physical objects that undermine the user. The first book, Danger, reenacts what has historically been done to dangerous literature, self-immolating when opened. The second book, Curiosity, represents the notion that many book-banners feel, that the true danger of literature is that once you’ve opened a book you have been forever changed and can never go back. Emulating this notion, Curiosity can never be closed. Once opened, it is locked in an open position forever.
You find instruction to make them yourself here and here.
