AMAZING experience design. Talk about a display with “grab,” note the full-body double-take from passers-by.
via Design*Sponge: “I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of window displays so I was excited to see this project from Marcus Wallander at Hyper Island in Stockholm. They created this interactive window display for a street-wear clothing brand called WeSC. The idea was to have the brand and clothing interact with people as they walk past. All I can say is man I wish I could have walked by these displays. They reverse when you walk in reverse. One word: awesome. Click here for more information on the project. xo, grace”
Pendulum Waves
Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.
BIG BANG BIG BOOM
an unscientific point of view on the beginning and evolution of life … and how it could probably end.

Augmented Reading: ImaginArt Animates Books with Max/MSP
With all the excitement brewing over multi-touch and tablet PCs, it’s great to see a simple, beautiful installation, augmenting paper books with subtle fiducials, letting the book control the technology:
Universiteit Twente - Motion ID
University of Twente (or Twente University) located in Enschede, Netherlands, offers research and degree programmes in technology, and in the social and behavioural sciences. Studio Dumbar was approached to develop the visual identity
and Buro Knapzak developed this experimental motion piece “They asked us to translate their graphical concept into motion design. And so we did…”
Processing Beats Keyframing: TypeStar Karaoke Machine Generates Kinetic Lyrics
Scott Garner has taken an effective and useful approach for his motion class assessment. Rather than do the assignment himself, he decided to program an assignment-completing robot!
This is a screencast of a Processing sketch I developed called TypeStar. It’s basically a karaoke machine that renders lyrics in realtime according to a number of preset visualization schemes.
It was originally created for a project in my Type in Motion class which required students to create a kinetic type animation for the Busy Bee scene from the movie Best in Show. I decided that rather than create yet another kinetic type piece, I would write a kinetic type engine.
Currently the sketch can be controlled via keyboard and mouse along with rough support for SMS control on laptops, iPhone control via OSCemote and oscP5, joystick control via proCONTROLL and midi controller support via proMIDI.
Family Stories by Guy Koenigstein →
“Family Stories” is two stop motion films about family history and family relationships, in which the family members are represented by colourful thread spools. The spools roll through their lives, changing direction when they move away or back home, crossing life lines of others, joining them for a while and sometimes separating from each other again.
