Transparent Billboards
So I’m checking out Neural.it, and follow a link to the Billboard Liberation Front and found this inspiring photography project by Kasia Kesicka. It mimics the flickr pool on transparent screens but is nonetheless inspired. Make sure you explore the Billboard Liberation Front there’s some fantastic Ad jamming. We offer a broad range of black-bag [...]

Interactive Mechanical Mirrors
The 4 mechanical mirrors are made of various materials but share the same behavior and interaction; any person standing in front of one of these pieces is instantly reflected on its surface. The mechanical mirrors all have video cameras, motors and computers on board and produce a soothing sound as the viewer interacts with them. [...]

Flickr installations…

Flickr has made this type of installation truly possible – with its open and interface-able architecture allowing developers to tap into the API. The Flickr Peepshow was the centrepiece for a variety of ‘flickr [...]

Art Games
Interesting piece on Games becoming Art, or I suppose the merging of the two. Take for example the manipulation of the Quake engine to make a musical instrument… or the Sims acting out a mock commercial.

Anish Kapoor at the Tate Modern… 2002-2003
This is old news, but something that I felt should be captured on my blog – this particular piece blew me away. I still remember the impact as I walked into the turbine room. This extruded flesh-like organism spanning the length of the Tate Modern… consuming everything. Do you ever get that need, to keep [...]
