Kinetic Sculpture

The Kinetic Sculpture is a metaphorical translation of the process of form-finding in art and design. 714 metal spheres, hanging from thin steel wires attached to individually-controlled stepper motors and covering the area of six square meters, animate a seven minute long mechatronic narrative. In the beginning, moving chaotically, then evolving to several competing forms that eventually resolve to the finished object, the Kinetic Sculpture creates an artistic visualisation of the process of form-finding in different variations.

The Scale of the Universe

The graphics don’t look like much, but its a cool flash rendition of the classic Powers of Ten – except that now you control the accelerator and brakes. The scale is pretty impressive too, from quantum foam up to the whole universe, check it out at New Grounds.

One Frame of Fame – Rebuilding a MTV one frame at a time

The concept is strikingly simple: a short video clip is put online and each audience is allowed to replace one of the frames with an imitation of their own. Monkey see monkey do in front of their web cams. The result is interesting, see it in action at oneframeoffame.com

This work reminds me of an earlier piece by Aaron Koblin and Takashi Kawashima where they asked 10,000 independent unsuspecting users to paint a tiny portion of a USD$100 bill. The finished image can be bought for charity at tenthousandcents.com

Bezier Curves in AS3

The Eco Zoo

Online 3d has always been mired by long loading times or unresponsive interface. The thing that caught me was how the author of this site, Masayuki Kido, has taken that apparent limitation and used it to his advantage by combining low poly models with a beautiful cut out style. The illustrations, character designs and witty dialog are are wonderful too, leaving me wanting for more after exploring all the sections. Of course, expect nothing less from the winner of the FWA Site of the year 2008.
