This photo was made by Rob Kroenert on February 18th 2010 in the Yosemite National Park. Every year during the month of February, the Horsetall Falls turn golden around sunset. Amazing.

bigassmessage.com is the online toy of the day! You can write simple messages and pick a style for it and send the link around. It’s simple as that. Of course I like this message much better. Made by Bjorn.

Grindin’

This is the music video for Grindin’ by Nobody Beats The Drum. It’s a very impressive stop motion piece made with 4085 photos, yet very simple. The music is … well not my cup of tea and you might want to turn down the volume. The making of video is actually quite entertaining.

Sketch-a-Move

pieter | today and tomorrow — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:16:45 +0000

Sketch-a-Move is a project by Anab Jain and Louise Klinker. They actually did this a few years ago. It’s a concept for a toy car that allows you to explore the unique relationships between small surface doodles and actual physical movements. If you draw a circle on the top of the toy car, it will move in a circle. If you draw a complicated spiral, the car will move in a spiral. They don’t explain how it actually works or could work, but it sure looks like fun.

Overpainted Photographs by Gerhard Richter is an ongoing series where he overpaints his own snapshots. I’ve posted some before, but I still like them. If you’re in Tokyo you can go and see some of them at the WAKO Works of Art till this Saturday.

Page Texture

Page Texture by Harm Van Den Dorpel. I know that it’s only a multi-directional motion blur applied to a screenshot of a Facebook page, but I like it.

Tour des Convoyeurs

AntiVJ made this light and sound installation called “Tour des Convoyeurs” during the Mutek festival in Montreal. We’ve seen video projections on buildings before, but the look and feel of this one is very nice.

It’s quite amazing how many different designs there’re for a simple clock. Tristan Zimmermann his Oblique Clock is my current favorite.

Flyfire

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:16:14 +0000

Flyfire is project initiated by the SENSEable City Laboratory in collaboration with ARES Lab (Aerospace Robotics and Embedded Systems Laboratory), both departments of the MIT. The goal is to transform any ordinary space into a highly immersive and interactive display environment. Its first implemetation is a display system using a large number of self-organizing micro helicopters. Each of them acts as smart pixel by using LED’s. Their position in 3D space and their color can be defined in real time, together they’re canvas able to display any kind of 2D imagery.
