Drawing Lamp

November 12th, 2009

When it comes to product design, I’m a real fan of simple but good ideas. This table lamp called “Drawing Lamp” by Thomas Feichtner would be an excellent example.  Although I’m curious to see it lit.

Avatar Machine

November 11th, 2009

Avatar Machine by Marc Owens is a wearable system which replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface. The system potentially allows for a diminished sense of social responsibility, and could lead the user to demonstrate behaviors normally reserved for the gaming environment.

Que Houxo

Que Houxo is a Japanese artist who does live paintings. His style is quite colorful, he uses fluorescent paints with black lights. These photos are from The Paint Players event and were made by Evan Roth. The video below is from another event, but it shows what you can espect when you go to one of his live sessions. I would definitely go if I had the chance.

Gijs Gieskens is a Dutch VJ and musician who likes to make his own tools, both on the hardware and the software side. Browser Jockey is one of his projects, he wrote a set of browser scripts which he uses to generate visuals to live music. Gijs developed another tool to use with Browser Jockey: the Beat Converter. This is a little piece of hardware which translates live mucis to key presses and trigger the Browser Jockey scripts. This video explains it all.

November 9th, 2009

I’m not really sure if these 2 artworks by Stéphane Dafflon, are paintings or sculptures. You can see his work till November 21st at the Galerie Francesca Pia in Zürich, Switzerland. If like these, you might want to have a look at the work of Jan Maarten Voskuil too.
