180,000 hand-sized clay figurines

This is crazy - "...For the Biennale, Gormley has shipped out his Asian Field, an installation of 180,000 hand-sized clay figurines. Three hundred and fifty villagers in southern China individually crafted the figurines in just five days from more than 100 tonnes of red clay. Together, the figurines form a vast sea of bodies that dominates the huge upper space of Pier 2/3. Lumpy and almost featureless, they eerily stare out with blank holes for eyes. As Gormley says, "The art is not there to be looked at; it is looking at you." [via] - Photos @ Flickr by Egenerica.

Mario soup - art from NES cartridges

Ben Fry dumped the ROMs of old NES cartridges and made these cool looking posters - "Any piece of executable code is also commingled with data, ranging from simple sentences of text for error messages to entire sets of graphics for the application. In older cartridge-based console games, the images for each of the small on-screen images (the "sprites") were often stored as raw data embedded after the actual program's instructions. This piece examines the unpacking of a Nintendo game cartridge, decoding the program as a four-color image, revealing a beautiful soup of the thousands of individual elements that make up the game screen."

The Last Supper - made from 20,736 spools of thread

The Last Supper - made from 20,736 spools of thread looks amazing - "...a life sized rendering of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper constructed from 20,736 spools of thread strung onto aluminum ball chain. When seen with the aid of optical devices, the spools of thread coalesce into realistic images of Christ and his disciples... When seen with the naked eye, the spools of thread appear as an abstract arrangement of multi-colored blocks/3D pixels, further abstracted by the fact that The Last Supper imagery is upside down and backwards."

Fabric Yo-Yos

Doc writes - "This man has done some amazing yo-yo projects in the past, including molding a leather yo-yo, and making yo-yos out of old yo-yo string, but in the linked project he took scraps of fabric and molded them into yo-yos. Damn, I'd love to have an argyle yo-yo." - Link.

Animatronic flesh shoe

Adam Brandejs made a really cool animatronic flesh franken-shoe controlled by a MP3 player - "The shoe is stitched together with multiple pieces of latex rubber cast out of moulds made from my own skin. The shoe's toe and heel raise and lower as it occasionally vibrates/pulsates, and twitches on the floor as if it were still alive. The movement is not constant, and usually causes people to jump back while they are in the middle of leaning in for a closer look." [via] - Link.

Self playing harmonica

Joel writes - "This artist makes all sorts of interesting stuff like a rocking chair with one leg that rocks in an arc, and the one you should really check out under his sculptures is a self playing harmonica machine... He has video of some of them including the harmonica machine. It looks like it would run like a player piano." - Link.

TV-Filter

Aram writes "TV-Filter allows to downsample an ongoing tv-show to 6 by 8 pixels in realtime. A translucent projection folie is mounted on a 5 cm deep cardboard grid. The color and intensity of each pixel is determined by the correspondend part of the tv screen on the backside. The different color information of each tv line get mixed to an average color value on each 4 by 4 cm pixel. In this way it is thinkable to reduce every high definition screen to a pleasant information density. " - Link.

Time lapse scroll series

Woodblock printer David Bull has time lapse video (and images) of his latest scroll print, he writes - "This is a three hour sequence of images captured from the Woodblock Webcam, showing the process of carving one of the blocks for the scroll print I am making this year. As the webcam was set to capture a shot every ten seconds or so, it won't take you three hours to watch this ... just two minutes!" [via] - Link & time lapse video.
