Untitled (Hello World) by Valentin Ruhry. It’s just a huge board with a lot of switches, but I would love to have it on my wall.

These 2 hand stitched Vogue covers were made by Inge Jacobsen. There’s much more to discover in her portfolio. I just really liked these 2 because she also shows us the back side.

In 1977/1978 Anton Perich built a painting machine, an early giant paintjet printer. Since then he’s been making these amazing Machine Painting. I really like them. You can see one of his machines in action in the video below.

Thread is Nike Schröder her main material when she creates her artworks. She stitches images out of her direct surrounding into textile art. ‘The Edgar Eduard Emma Herbst Series’ is an homage to a friend of Nike and plays with ‘the adaption of the chaotic way the thread develops painting like qualities very adequate to his personal character.’

“The Future Piggy” Bank is project made by Wang Chao, Maggie Kuo, and Jordi Parra, at the Umeå Institute of Design, in Sweden. In just a few days, they made this mock-up of piggy bank that accepts credit cards. By using very simple components like an arduino board, a sensor and an iphone as a display, they were able to create a piggy bank which behaves like a Tamagotchi. If you don’t feed it with a credit card it will become sad and the other way around. Very nice work!

This is the most awesome 450 page presentation you’ve ever seen. It took 3 animators 3 days to make this 450 frames animation in Google Docs. The cool thing about it? They were all in different location but could still edit the same document online at the same time. Plus, it super easy to share it afterwards. So go to http://goo.gl/6MJwH, let it load (it’s quite heavy) and then click through it. Or just watch the video below with some extra making of footage.
(btw, I can only see 413 pages …)

I guess you all remember Daito Manabe his Electric Stimulus project where he stimulated his facial muscles with small electric pulses, synced to music. Daito and Masaki Teruoka developed the next step of this system. Together with myoelectric sensors, they can make music by tapping on each other’s skin. Just watch the video!
