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.

Oscar and Ewan is a small graphic design studio in London. They were asked to participate in the Polygon Show and were given a 3D shape to respond to, a cube. They decided not to show a cube, but to remove it from a small furniture setup.
This is NOVA, a 3D LED display, developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich to celebrate their 150th anniversary. Here are some numbers: it is build with 25000 lightballs, each containing 12 LED’s. It can display 16 million colors and 25 images per second. It measures 5 by 5 by 1 meter and it is 3.3 tons heavy. Impressive! So if you happen to go to Zurich, make sure you go and check it out in the train stations main hall, it will be there till September 2009.

Jan Maarten Voskuil is a Dutch artist, he uses 3D canvases for his paintings.
‘There is no point in Yellow’

‘Hello, World!‘ is a brand website for the Japanese telecom company SoftBank. Again, I can’t understand anything, just nod my head to the music. Mesmerising!
Made by tha inc.
‘Madagascar‘ by Psyho. Quite similar to Josh Keyes work.
ABC-3D is an amazing pop-up book with a lot of smart elements designed by Marion Bataille. Just watch the video and pre-order your copy now
Pablo Valbuena made a name last year with his ‘Augmented Sculpture Series‘, they are a combination of 3D objects with precisely mapped video projections. Here he had full control over the composition of the 3D objects. But in his latest project called ‘Entramado‘, he took his concept outside to an urban environment in Madrid. The result is …
As always, watch the videos!
‘P_Wall‘ is a project by the architectural design studio MATSYS. It investigates the self-organization of two materials, plaster and elastic fabric.
Starting from an image, a cloud of points is generated based on the image’s grayscale values. These points are then used to mark the positions of dowels which constrain the elasticity in the fabric formwork. Plaster is then poured into the mould and the fabric expands under the weight of the plaster. The resultant plaster tile has a certain resonance with the body as it sags, expands, and stretches in its own relationship with gravity and structure. Assembled into a larger surface, a pattern emerges between the initial image’s grayscale tones and the shadows produced by the wall.
This is the Diamond Chair by Nendo. On the first picture you can see a step in the production process, indeed it’s a rapid prototyping technique called selective laser sintering. It’s very similar to the 3D printing that Front Design used for their Sketch Furniture.
Unfortunately this technology isn’t ready for mass production yet, it takes 5 to 6 days just to print 1 chair.
