Tour des Convoyeurs is an audiovisual installation made by AntiVJ for Mutek Festival in Montreal, Canada last year.

Playing with shadows and optical effects, they give to the structure a live form dancing with the impressive and surrounding audio.

Lynil is a project from the interactive design programme from The Danish Design School. Linyl are discs of light drawn from photos of past experiences that can be played on a special record player to create an ambience. They are inspired by our nostalgia for a time when the experience of music was slower and more environmental.

It is always beautiful see how romantic is playing with the nostalgia of old technologies.

This is a live recording of a piece I have created for the weekly diagram in aer studio.

In the last trip to Finland, one of the lot of things I couldn’t see was the northern lights. So I haven’t seen them yet but this is how I would like them to be. Colorful, plenty of light and of course, Boards of Canada in the background.

To use the experience just allow the webcam, wave your hand and let the magic happens!

Click here to see the piece and enjoy it!

Alexis Malbert (a.k.a. Tapetronic) is a musician who creates new instrument using the old tapes trying to reinvent the scratch… and I think he did it!

The next video is a compilation of all the set of scratches he makes.

Nikki Graziano is a photographer and mathematician. So what can you expect if you mix both things? Well just the set of photos she called Founded Functions and it is just that. Functions she has found in the photos she took.

A lot of times i have been asked about what physics is.. my answer is just: hmmm…well… everything is math and physics, the only thing we dont have time to analyze everything.

I don’t usually blog this kind of images… that’s why  I have my tumblr, but this sentence is basically the twist of the new society. Google is cool but it is not us… they are them and they will always be.

Vanishing Point is a music video by Takuya Hosogane with music from cubesato.

I love the transitions from one scene to another playing with geometric shapes and perfectly synchronized with the music.

A tool to deceive and slaughter is a physical sculpture that is perptually attempting to auction itself on eBay. Made by Caleb Larsen, every ten minutes the sculpture which is a plain black box, pings a server on the internet check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself. If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into internet, and the cycle repeats itself.

You can follow the auction in http://atooltodeceiveandslaughter.com, right now is $4250 in 12 bids and the author gets the 15% of the sale.

Jin Young Yu is an artist from Korea who makes beautiful, creepy and scary invisible sculptures. Playing with the emptiness of the world we live but expressing the emotions with our faces. You can read an interview in arrested motion.

In love in the distance.

Johannes Vogl is a young german artist. He creates little artifacts with a very uncommon use. The flame thrower mosquito catcher, the shopping cart that draws horizons, the machine that makes jam toasts and throw them away, the five moons projection or the fishing rob kite flyer.

Funny concepts in complex machines to represent the world we live.

Graffiti Analysis is an extensive ongoing study in the motion of graffiti, a project by Evan Roth. Custom software designed for graffiti writers creates visualizations of the often unseen motion involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived in a free and open database, 000000book.com, where writers can share analytical representations of their hand styles. Influential graffitis artist such as SEEN, TWIST, AMAZE, KETONE, JON ONE and KATSU have had their tags motion captured using the Graffiti Analysis software. All tags created in Graffiti Analysis are saved as Graffiti Markup Language (GML) files, a new digital standard used by other popular graffiti applications such as Laser Tag and EyeWriter. Graffiti Analysis 2.0 is an open source project that is available online for free in OSX, Windows and Linux. Graffiti writers are invited to capture and share their own tags, and computer programmers are invited to create new applications and visualizations of the resulting data.

The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal is a documentary film about how the fact of removing graffitis by painting over them becomes to a piece of art by itself being possible to compare them with abstract expressionism, constructivism or minimalism.

By the way, happy 2010!

How many versions of Pong game have you seen? Thousands, maybe? Then here you have one more and obviously a bit original: The browser Pong by stewdio. Just a classic pong, event for two players!, but playing with the browser windows.

I really love the idea of playing with windows or using it as interface elements.
