CMYK Felt Tip Raster by Jonathan Puckey

This is a nice illustration isn’t it? It was made by Jonathan Puckey and I guess he didn’t made it by hand. Jonathan does a lot of his work with Scriptographer, a free Adobe Illustrator scripting plugin. Remember his amazing Delaunay Raster? So I think he wrote a custom script to do this CMYK felt tip raster illustration.

Daruma-Otoshi Skyscraper Demolition

July 18th, 2008

A Japanese firm called Kajima Corporation, developed this new way to demolish skyscrapers. They start at the bottom floor, they cut the support columns and replace them computer-controlled jacks. When they demolished that floor, they lower the building one floor and start over. You have to see it to believe it, it’s such a clean method.
They called this ‘Daruma-Otoshi’, which is a Japanese toy where you have to knock out the bottom part of some piled objects.

Dipping Duck Orchestra

July 17th, 2008

‘Dipping Duck Orchestra’ by Kitty Clark.
8 Dipping ducks (a.k.a happy birds, drinking birds…) and their respective drinking glasses are wired up to the 8 notes of a modified keyboard. Each time a duck tips down and touches the water to ‘drink’ the circuit is completed and a sound is produced. Being thermodynamic, the ducks continue to produce random compositions depending on temperature.

Afasia 1

July 16th, 2008

Afasia 1 by Arcangelo Sassolino

‘Afasia 1′ is an art installation by Arcangelo Sassolino. Maybe you’ve guessed it, this is a nitrogen-powered sculpture that shoots empty beer bottles against a wall at 600km/hr inside a metal cage. I wouldn’t get to close if I were you, but you can see it in action at the Superdome exhibition at Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
