Céleste Boursier-Mougenot February 9, 2010
Posted by admin in : Exhibitions, Installation, Performance , comments closedI love this performance piece, it’s one of those pieces that is so blindingly simple that you wish you’d thought of it yourself.
French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways.
For his installation in The Curve, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.

Touchable Holography February 2, 2010
Posted by admin in : Augmented Reality, Gadgets , comments closedTouchable Holography: New projector lets you “touch” 3D objects with your hands (video)
Thanks to Phil Andrews for finding this:
“As if looking at floating images in free space produced by mid-air displays isn’t cool enough, a research team from the University of Tokyo now makes it possible to even touch (kind of) those images with a newly developed projector system.”
