Check out these awesome examples of street art in Bocchignano, Italy. More photos can be seen on Jan Vormann’s Website.

Genius installation proposal for Artbots 2008

Simple automatic instruments are constructed from local materials and objects on site. The system learns the sounds it can make by trying out its instruments, and then uses its range of sounds to try to reproduce the rhythmic and melodic qualities of sounds such as the voices of visitors. It then loops and alters these imitative sequences into improvised compositions. (That last part’s not done yet, so you won’t see it in the video.)

In this example, the source audio is a bit of the soundtrack from the movie Citizen Kane, and the noisemakers are a set of found object percussion machines and an electromagnetically fretted electric guitar.

Words cannot even describe the amazing detail that the new (39 Megapixel) Hasselblad brings to the party. Not only would most photographers never need all that detail, but most photographers couldn’t even afford this sports-car-priced camera not to mention the hefty price tags that come along with the lenses. So if you see one of these in the wild you can count on the owner being either awesome OR a total douche.

The latest ad by Sony, following in the footsteps of some of the most spectacular ads I have ever seen (Paint Cannons, Superballs, Bunnies).

It’s obvious BBC spent some serious time on this. Overall I think they did a very good job, although I doubt it fooled many people. Definately worth checking out.
