Page Texture by Harm Van Den Dorpel. I know that it’s only a multi-directional motion blur applied to a screenshot of a Facebook page, but I like it.

Tour des Convoyeurs

March 2nd, 2010

AntiVJ made this light and sound installation called “Tour des Convoyeurs” during the Mutek festival in Montreal. We’ve seen video projections on buildings before, but the look and feel of this one is very nice.

Flyfire is project initiated by the SENSEable City Laboratory in collaboration with ARES Lab (Aerospace Robotics and Embedded Systems Laboratory), both departments of the MIT. The goal is to transform any ordinary space into a highly immersive and interactive display environment. Its first implemetation is a display system using a large number of self-organizing micro helicopters. Each of them acts as smart pixel by using LED’s. Their position in 3D space and their color can be defined in real time, together they’re canvas able to display any kind of 2D imagery.
