Play the piano on YouTube! It’s an interactive video by Kokokaka.com.

Here is another piece by Johannes Vogl: Drache. He used a fishing rod and a little motor to let a kity fly. It reminds me of the Gaston Lagaffe comics.

The pyromaniac in me really likes this Mosquito Catcher by Johannes Vogl.

This building in Tokyo is called Fujitsubo (barnacle) and was designed by Archivision Hirotani Studio. The facade and roof is completely covered with copper sheets. The light from the 3 skylights can reach the basement through 3 glass panels in each floor. At the moment the building is used by a beauty parlour.

DustTag is an iPhone application designed for graffiti writers that visualizes the motion involved in the creation of a tag. It is basically the iPhone version of Evan Roth his Graffiti Analysis tool, just with a little less bells and whistles but some typical iPhone features. You can write tags on the iPhone and upload them as .gml files (Graffiti Markup Language) to the 000000book.com website. Evan designed this app together with Chris Sugrue. Support them and buy this app for just $1.99!

This is how my tag looks like when the .gml file was loaded into the Graffiti Analysis tool. Thanks Evan.

These aren’t some half abstract landscape paintings but photos manipulated with Flash. Quasimondo describes it like this: “automatic subdivision based on details in the underlying image. Areas with more detail get divided in smaller pieces.”

Night Lights is the most amazing interactive projection on a building I have ever seen. YesYesNo were asked to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground for the viewers. There were 3 different types of interaction – body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. That input was then used to manipulate 6 different scenes. Just watch the video and you’ll know why this is a very impressive project. Here are the names of some of the people involved, some might sound familiar if you reading today and tomorrow: Joel Gethin Lewis, Zach Lieberman, Pete Hellicar, Kyle McDonald, Todd Vanderlin, Daito Manabe.

Awesome paintings by Chrissy Angliker.
