The whole process took 9 nine hours, during which Hannelore couldn’t move and only eat and drink through a straw. The result is … well just watch the film below.

t-radya made these impressive portraits of fallen Russian WWII soldiers. The faces were made of bandages on wooden boards and were then burned to create this particular look. Afterwards, the portraits were put up on the walls of an abandoned WWII hospital in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

“Seraphic Rift To The Infinite Cosmos” by Travess Smalley. Click on it to see it in full size.

I really have a sweet spot for drawing machines. Sandy Noble developed his own version: the Polargraph. He was heavily inspired by Hektor, the spraycan robot, but also by the AS200 drawbot and Harvey Moon’s drawing machine. I really like the style of the drawings, which is probably defined by the dual-polar coordinates the system uses internally.
I guess it’s no surprise that he used an arduino board and processing to build the Polargraph.
