This installation by Daniel Buren was part of his exhibition called ‘Transitions, works in situ’ at the Toyota Municipal museum of Art in Japan. Some color and a few mirrors is sometimes more than enough. His most famous installation is ‘Les Deux Plateaux‘ at the Cour d’honneur du Palais-Royal, Paris.
This is a Light Sculpture by AntiVJ, a visual label. These projections on 3D objects are really neat! It was on display during Transmediale 2007, a festival for art and digital culture in Berlin. The sculpture itself, ‘Halbzeug’, was made by visomat inc. You probably want to check Pablo Valbuena’s work too if you like this.

‘The Level Tunnel‘ is a project for Level Vodka, designed by Hussein Chalayan. The tunnel a 15 meter long, 5 meter high, glass installation that captures the essence of Level Vodka. Visitors can walk through the tunnel blindfolded or experience it from outside. Chalayan used sound, scent and touch to create something unique. The sound for example, is created by a flute made from a vodka bottle. And when a visitor is going through the tunnel, his position is tracked and he can smell the scent of lemon and cedar as he goes further into the tunnel. When the visitor leaves the tunnel, he can of course taste the vodka. All these senses together should give the visitor an impression of what Level Vodka stands for. It is currently on display in Mexico City but it will travel to Paris and Athens later this year.

The ‘Mk3 Postal Project’ by Tim Knowles is actually quite simple. He shipped a parcel from London to Dublin, containing a pen and cardboard. The pen could move freely in a 2D plane throughout its journey and leave a trace on the piece of cardboard. He also did similar project with trees and cars.
‘Spinal Rhythms‘ is the thesis project of Eva Schindling. The subtitle is ‘Autonomous Embodied Evolution of a Biomimetic Robot’s Rhythmic Motion Behavior’, I’ve read it a few times and I’m still puzzled. It’s all about the physical movement of a stick-creature and its fitness. She didn’t use any electric motor to move the limbs but elastic shape memory alloy springs. Those contract when heated with electic current and expand when the cooldown, an Arduino board controls the whole system (an open source physical computing platform). It is of course very conceptual but maybe the video will clear up a few things.
