me news

found daily

last week ‘rikkert pauw’ contacted me about his foundation project, sounds and looks fun… i particularly like the ‘street TV’

…collecting waste material and old furniture from the neighborhood, moving it to a waste container, reusing it to turn it into a small house (with the container as the foundation), to become a temporary meeting place for neighbors and passers-by. During the project, graphic designer Jet van Zwieten will give shape to a public journal that shows the progress and tells the story of the found material and its contributors. This site-specific and investigative approach to design and public space leaves room for unexpected local input and cooperation…

geometric death frequency 141

an amazing sculpture built entirely by robots but devised by a human named ‘frederico diaz’

…made from 420,000 black spheres made and assembled by robotics. the final sculpture will measure 20 feet by 50 feet and sit in the courtyard of the museum. the installation is precisely crafted from robotics, milling and assembling the entire sculpture sphere by sphere, completely void of any human interaction. diaz developed this process for building on his own using CAD software and manufacturing techniques along with pure data and algorithms based on particle physics. with this system each sculpture is completely untouched by human hands from concept to materialization.

a nice collection of shadow art, you could also just google those two words and get a similar collection all by yourself, although i find myself doubting the veracity of several of them…
