If HR Giger decorated your house
These amazing Alien furnishings are made out of tools, car parts, springs and other junk. Scaring the bejezuz out of friends and family members doesn't come cheap. The coffee table costs around US$5,000. And the artist is in the UK, so forget about shipping this monster stateside.

Perpetuum Mobile makes fountains run for cover
A machine called "Perpetuum Mobile" by Wessel di Wesseli which claims to run with no electricity and by gravity + water power. I'm still a bit dumbfounded!

SMSage makes surveillance fun
"SMSage", an art installation by Tim Redfern and Ralph Borland, currently showing at the Conflux Festival in Brooklyn, is an SMS-driven urban installation that plants a sound murmur in the city when people send text messages to it. The project converts submitted text messages to speech and plays them over a parabolic speaker built into its housing. It is meant to provide a "mad murmur" in the city, scrambling the messages over time, and reciting its phone number to passersby on the street.

Stitchable Arduino patches
We've mentioned Leah Buechley on the blog before. She's a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado who does some really innovative things with soft circuits, LED clothing, and other geek couture. She writes of her most recent projects, the LilyPad: e-textile construction kit version 2.0
There is no reason for fabric circuits to mimic the look of traditional PCBs. My version 2.0 construction kit explores a new aesthetic for electronics.The e-textile construction kit was designed to empower novices to work with electronic textiles. Using the kit, you can build your own soft interactive clothing. The patches shown here, built with my iron-on circuit technique, are small, sewable computer chips. Each patch functions as a stitchable Arduino.

The sound machines
Absolutely stunning! -
Five automatic sound machines will provide musical accompaniment for the opening celebrations at the Hanover Fair - thanks to technology from Festo. Pneumatic components and a PLC control system will be applied very differently from the way they are used in industrial automation: They will create a bridge between technology and art.The sound machines - Link & video.Scene designer and robot artist Roland Olbeter developed and crafted the unique ensemble "The Sound Machines," an automated, electrical string quartet with a drum. The four string instruments sound and function like electric guitars, the difference being that each sound machine only has one string.

WineM @ NextFest
I really like todbot's projects, here's one he's working on now called WineM -
WineM solves the problem of remembering all the information about the wines in a large wine rack, cellar or cabinet, or searching through that data. This smart wine rack makes that information always accessible and updatable.todbot blog » Blog Archive » WineM prototype at NextFest - Link.

Eyelash switch: cyborg-style human interface device
Jason writes -
With some conductive fabric and spirit gum, you can make a simple binary switch that attaches to your eyelids. Andrew Schneider used some of these to make a polaroid camera that takes a snapshot when you blink.Eyelash switch: cyborg-style human interface device - [via] Link.When I first saw these, I was reminded of cyborgs in television and film and how they typically exhibit facial twitches when receiving data or jacking in to the network brain. I always thought the apparent "glitch" was sort of a stupid film device, but mabe it's not that far from the future truth. Left wink, change music track. Right wink, shoot photo with the camera tilak in your forehead. Triple-blink, stimulate adrenal gland to release epinephrine. Eyes closed for one minute, dose of melatonin.

One minute project "Chip bugs"
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories writes -
If you work with electronics, you have probably at some point come across chips that have gone bad. The usual strategies to deal with these include (1) writing "DEAD?" on them in large letters (2) throwing them out, and (3) hiding the evidence. I once heard about a lab student who, whenever he came across a dead chip in his circuit, would dutifully file it back in the drawer with the new chips of that variety-- just in case it turned out to be good after all.One minute project "Chip bugs" - Link.Here's an alternative solution: Turn your chips into Chip Bugs: cute, tiny sculptures that leave no doubt as to which components are which.
