Poses is a new performance by Yolanda Domínguez. It’s a direct criticism of the absurd and artificial world of glamour and of fashion that magazines present. She asked a group of real women to transfer fashion poses to daily scenes: the queue of a museum, the supermarket or the bus stop, sparking off the reaction of the spectators.

Time Print Machine by Paul Ferragut is a printing system using felt pen on blotting paper. The felt-pen ink bleed in the paper for a duration relative to the grey value of a pixel. Every “time stain” gradually recreates any images in a pointillist style. The aim of this project is to emphasize the making process, it can take 20 hours to print one color on a A2 paper.

“PING! Augmented Pixel” is Niklas Roy‘s latest project.
“PING! – Augmented Pixel” is a seventies style video game, that adds a layer of digital information and old-school aesthetics to a video signal: A classic rectangular video game ball moves across a video image. Whenever the ball hits something dark, it bounces off. The game itself has no rules and no goal.
You could say that it’s just an augmented reality version of Pong. But Niklas just did a little more than just that. PING! – Augmented Pixel doesn’t use a computer to process the video signal and display the game. Niklas made a read hardware box with its own micro-controller. Impressive work!
Natural Beauty is a new short film by Lernert & Sander. They applied 365 layers of makeup in one day on Hannelore Knuts to see how much is needed to go from a natural look to an outrageous one. 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.
“Content is Queen” is a new project by Sergio Albiac, it is a generative video painting that comments on democracy and power.
At the same time, is a paradoxical dialogue and strange marriage between the banal and utterly majestic: to create the series, the most popular (in a truly democratic sense) internet videos of a given moment are used as the input of a generative process that “paints” with action the image of a contemporary Queen.

“3 Dreams of Black” is a new interactive film directed by Chris Milk for the song “Black” by ROME, a music project by Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi featuring Jack White & Norah Jones. The project is a Chrome Experiment that showcases some of the latest web technologies like WebGL in modern browsers like Google Chrome.
Not only can you interact with video, you can also add your own items to the dream or see what others have build. For those of you who want to know the technical details: this page will keep you busy for a while. The model view and the demos are just as impressive.
Aaron Koblin was the creative director of this project and Mr.doob the technical director and of course a bunch of really talented people. You might also want to check out “The Wilderness Downtown“, a project with many people who were also involved in this one.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been that blown away by a web technology. So if you have the latest version of Google Chrome installed and a pretty decent graphicscard, go ahead and be …
Here’re a few Computer drawings made by Miltos Manetas. I just love the look and feel of them. Actually I could post all of his portfolio on today and tomorrow. I totally recommend you to go through his work. You probably know his neen sites like www.jacksonpollock.org, www.maninthedark.com or www.thankyouandywarhol.com.
Ok, one more piece by him: Painting My Shadow.
Fire Painting is a cybernetic construction made by Sanela Jahić. The viewer can set off explosive levels of kerosene by subtle movements of a sensory data glove. The image can be manipulated, yet it constantly escapes control.
