Lipstick Enigma
October 20th, 2010Lipstick Enigma is a computer-driven sentence-generator made by Janet Zweig. The sculpture is made of 1200 resin lipsticks powered by 1200 stepper motors, controlled by 60 circuit boards. The software invents and writes a new line of text, using rules and a lexicon written by the artist, and displays it on the sign when triggered by a motion detector.

October 19th, 2010Monde Sauvage is the title of Oliver Kosta-Théfaine his current exhibition at Alice Gallery in Brussels, Belgium. One of his pieces caught my eye right away when I saw it on Trendbeheer. It’s different than his ceiling decorations, but also very nice.

My little piece of Privacy
October 14th, 2010Niklas Roy his workshop is located in an old storefront with a big window facing towards the street. In an attempt to create more privacy inside, he decided to install a small but smart curtain in that window. The curtain is smaller than the window, but an additional surveillance camera and an old laptop provide it with intelligence: The computer sees the pedestrians and locates them. With a motor attached, it positions the curtain exactly where the pedestrians are.
