The Senster was a robotic sculpture developed by Edward Ihnatowicz in the late 60’s. It was commisioned by Philips and part of their permanent showplace, the Evoluon, in Eindhoven between 1970 and 1974. It was the first robotic sculpture to be controlled by a computer and could react to the behaviour of the visitors with its sound and movement sensors. The computer used to control The Senster was a Philips P9201 and had only 8K of core memory.

Jag kopierar rakt av vad T&T skriver.

Tomorrow starts the construction of the architectural installion “Pike Loop” at the Storefront of Art and Architecture (New York), together with the opening of the exhibition of the work of Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler on Architecture and Digital Fabrication. Gramazio & Kohler shipped R-O-B, their Mobile Fabrication Unit robot, to New York to build Pike Loop, a 22m long structure built from bricks.
I would really like to see these kind of fabrication techniques to be used more often, they definitely offer new possibilities to architecture and design.

Rapport från TAT:

Armin Hofmann is a Swiss graphic designer. Here are few pages from his book “Graphic Design Manual: Principles and Practice “, it looks like I’ll have to add it to my wishlist. You can find some more pages in this Flickr set.

Boken finns bla på Amazon.

Creative Review och TAT rapporterar om Charlie McCarthy som tagit en herrans massa fotografier, med lång exponeringstid, på insekter som flyger under en lyktstolpe. Sedan satte han ihop en film.

Lawrence Cepstral - Supernova

Brother Cavil: In all your travels, have you ever seen a star go supernova?
Ellen Tigh: No.
Brother Cavil: No? Well, I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air.
Ellen Tigh: The five of us designed you to be as human as possible.
Brother Cavil: I don’t want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to – I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly because I have to – I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I’m a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I’m trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!

T&T och Createmake rapporterar.

TAT är en av mina absoluta favoritställen på extrowebz. Nedan följer några riktigt grymma saker de postat den senaste tiden.

Blur, via Dezeen:

“Brussels designers Big-game have created a collection of objects with graduated patterns applied to their surfaces that make them appear blurry.”

Burial & Four tet - Moth:

Supermatch-up, där två stilar möts i vacker symbios.

Dominik Eulberg - Sansula:

Assnygg klocka som såklart T&T plockat upp på (tack). Den heter Pixel. Designfirman som skapat den heter Ligne Roset som även gjort massa annat fint så stanna till på deras sida på rot.

TAT håller som vanligt järnkoll på interwebbzen. Här uppmärksammar de samarbetet mellan Mashallah.design och Linda Kostowski - Digital Portraits. Intressant som fasen och gott för ögonen dessutom.
