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.

Google before you tweet is the new think before you speak

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.

Viktor Timofeev is an artist from Riga, Latvia. Minimalism, playing with perspective and dirty very dirty. His work evokes impossible cities landscapes using architecture elements with a lot of violence.

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.

Every phone has an specific sound so it is like a big instrument. You can interact with it through his webpage http://xmas.lbi.co.uk or sending a tweet with #lbitree.

Adbusting, again in Berlin, but now playing with the game Doom as a tribute for this old and classic game, but now in very critic way….. Personally I think the ads could be better chosen but I love the idea anyway.

make something cool every day 2009 is an ambitious project from Brock Davis, artist and musician. The project is simply that: make something cool every day during all 2009. Now it is in december and we can say Brock has got it. He got to make a lot of cool things all this year. Awesome and very creative pieces, quick and simple, where you can find advertising language. Love and respect!

Moony is an interactive installation created by Takehisa Mashimo, Akio Kamisato and Satoshi Shiabta. This artwork project is a challenge to create a marginal space between virtual images and physical objects. After visitor looks through the vapor steam, visitor can detect the animated butterflies inside. If the visitor try to touch them, butterflies start to swarm around your hands or escape biside the visitor’s hand. But of cource, it is impossible to touch them phisically. Visitor will experience the mystic phenomena between real and unreal.

The SCAN PROCESSOR STUDIES are a collection of works by Woody Vasulka & Brian O’Reilly. 

The full work is of total approximate duration of 45 minutes, with sections of various lengths, textures, and dynamic qualities.

The project first started while Woody and I were working on different commissioned projects at the ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe Germany). He and Steina on the exhibition MINDFRAMES and Garth Knox and myself on the DVD and performance SPECTRAL STRANDS: FOR VIOLA AND VISUALS. Woody, Steina, Garth and I spent many nights screening works for moving images, playing music, and cooking, enveloped in the huge ghost town mood the ZKM’s kitchen took on at night. During this time there were passionate discussions about video synthesizers (mainly my love for the Sandin Image Processor), and how Steina’s VIOLIN POWER had a huge influence on Garth’s and my new series of works. 

The source materials were generated by Woody using a Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970’s and sat on a shelf for years, having been recently digitized. Woody came into my studio one day and asked me if I would be interested in using them to work on a collaboration, and the project began from there…

The works use sources excavated directly from the output of the Scan Processor, as well as further manipulations using Tom Demeyer’s ImX software, developed with input from Steina. Extensive editing and layering and additional augmentations were done using Phil Mortons IP. The Sound was generated (mostly) by custom software developed by Chandrasekhar Ramakrishnan and myself called NETHER GENERATOR, which sets up a number of complex real time feedback networks filtered and processed by various means.

Toki-Woki has made one of the coolest clocks I’ve ever seen recently: the scroll clock. I love clocks (but i dont use them) and I love form elements to draw, more reason to not fall in love with this?
