Elmo-TMX Army
Artist Adrianne Wortzel discusses her use of arduino hacked Elmo-TMX’s. I think I might just have to run out and buy one and do some hacking of my own. Her work covers Telerobotics, a very noble pursuit.
The Real Hurricane Irene
This video is quite amazing. The real thing from space. So awesome.
My Dream
Robots endlessly arguing with each other. I think Becket or any other absurdist playwright or writer would be quite amused.
Neato
Jello!!!
Beautiful
Green Tunnel from Kevin Gallagher on Vimeo. Also – Want. Now. Hike.
Glitch Video
a.d.l.r. – “Supreme Sunlight” from Non Projects on Vimeo.
Made by Kim Asendorf, master of glitch. His still images are just as interesting.
Impossible!
Video of a Shaolin Monk throwing a needle through a piece of glass (shot at 1000 frames per second). This can’t possibly be real?
Word of the Day
KOJO MOE
“Reservations for a nighttime boat cruise around Kawasaki’s illuminated chemical factories, steel plants and oil refineries are booked up months in advance. For 4,000 yen per adult—about $48—a vessel resembling a houseboat carries tourists past mammoth, brightly lit factories sending clouds of smoke into the air.” – WSJ
Not weird at all. Not to me. I too share a fascination with looking at and photographing industrial buildings and factories. I absolutely see the beauty in them. Read more about “Kojo Moe” at WSJ.com
