'Reverse Graffiti' artist Creates tunnel of skulls on the underwire
My favorite type of graffiti... Eric @ Wired writes -
A street artist has got to have a serious bone to pick to keep on working in front of shouting, gun-waving cops. Then again, I guess Alexandre Orion had a bit of an advantage when the police tried to nab him in a São Paulo street tunnel: He wasn't painting city property, he was cleaning it. For over two weeks last year, the Brazilian artist selectively scrubbed soot from the tunnel until the white surface underneath stared through as a cemetery's worth of skulls.'Reverse Graffiti' artist Creates tunnel of skulls on the underwire - Link.

Interview with Pete Froslie
Here's a link to an interview / article I did with Boston-based artist Pete Froslie. Pete makes some really nice projects with retro Atari gaming systems, Etch-A-Sketches, proximity sensors, and other cool objects. Above is a picture of his "Anxiety Book" which shuts abruptly when you get too close.

The TV remote control
"TV remote control" by Philippe Kindelis -
The TV remote control uses the principle of water displacement and the conductive properties of water to connect different cables. It highlights principles and processes that the user can interact with. It is an exploration as to whether water and electricity can be put together to create a new narrative in the way we interact with technological products.Order & Chaos. Design From a Technological Taboo. The TV Remote Control - [via] Link.

Light-up sidewalk brick
This weekend while walking down Mill Avenue in Tempe, AZ, I saw an interesting sight. The sidewalk is made of bricks, but one of them was glowing. Upon closer inspection, it appeared one brick had been removed and replaced with an acrylic box containing a light source, which was backlighting a drawing on the inside of the transparent acrylic. My curiosity got the better of me, and I pried the top off (which was caulked to the bricks around it) with my multi-tool. What I found was pretty neat: a thick top layer of clear acrylic protecting a vellum drawing, lighted with a single 5mm LED hooked up to a battery pack. The initials "BRT" and the date "10/07" were written on the inside of the box. Having opened the box and accidentally torn the drawing, I felt I should add something to indicate I meant well. I happened to have some LEDs and coincell batteries with me, so I taped up an extra light (the one already in the box was not very bright or diffused), and stuck it inside, then pressed the lid back on as securely as I could. I have no idea who made it, but I have a Flickr set - Link.

Graphite sequencer
Here's an interesting project by Caleb Coppock:
Graphite conducts electricity. Two wires brush against the surface of a paper disk as it spins. The wires are connected to a simple electronic tone generator. When a line of graphite is drawn across the disk, connecting two wires, a tone is heard. The quality of the line affects the sound. For example, if the line is thick, allowing more current to pass over it, the pitch changes to a lower tone.Graphite sequencer - [via] Link.

Jason Bruges turns wind into light
Meant for the urban environment, "Wind to Light", an installation by Jason Bruges Studio utilizes 500 mini wind turbines to generate power to illuminate mounted LEDs on the top of the turbines. The result is a cloud of light that emanates from the ground as weather and wind patterns shift over time.

nOtbOt video game system controls itself, scares onlookers
The "nOtbOt" is an autonomous gaming system / art project that uses the force-feedback system found in most game controllers or "rumble packs" as an impetus to control its own movements of a first-person shooter style game. Pretty interesting idea for a gaming hack, we just wonder if there's any chance of winning this way.
