It’s not everyday that you come across a website so interesting and so inspiring that you lose complete track of time, forget to make dinner and do the upcoming week’s laundry. That’s pretty much where I found myself the other evening after clicking through some of the content and postings on Spacecollective.org. SpaceCollective.org is [...]

A few months ago I posted about an online music tool/community called Hobnox, that allows it’s users to collaborate, record and share their creations via an Adobe Flash based synthesizer setup. Indaba does pretty much the same thing only the interface is more like an online track based Pro-Tools or Garage band, which is great [...]

The idea of augmented reality through mobile devices has been baking for some time. This is first mobile Augmented Reality browser that I have seen in action and it premiers in the Netherlands. By using your mobile device as a lens into the world of information this innovative app promises to get you all the [...]

The above ‘Modulares Licht’ was designed by Robert Hoffmann and displayed at this year’s DMY International Design Festival Berlin. The festival attracts emerging designers and young design studios from Europe to Asia and Australia as well as design academies from The Netherlands, England, Czech Republic, Sweden and Germany.
Robert Hoffmann’s ‘Modulares Licht’ is a fresh take [...]

Above you see 24 separate analogue style clocks that have been programmed and combined to display as one large functioning digital clock. The real design genius is what is happening behind the scenes with the programming that controls each set of arms to emulate different parts of the digital read out. This to me is [...]

Vending Machine from Ellie Harrison on Vimeo.
I’m not exactly sure what to make of this but I’m still intrigued by it’s potential. I’m also a bit confused by the overall political message that this contraption sends me as well. Is that not the sign of true art? I’m not sure. This vending machine is powered [...]

Fluid Sculpture from Charlie Bucket on Vimeo.
The above “Fluid Sculpture” is a simple but thought provoking design. Liquid is pumped through a transparent hose that is braided and wound into a simple shape. When colored liquid is introduced the hose takes on that particular color and as the color curls it’s way through the endless [...]

How much material is contained in a tone? from realiction on Vimeo.
In my mind, what I’m seeing/hearing while taking in this documentary on Düsseldorf based musician Hauschka, is musical innovation that is part sound effect, part performance art and part throwing how we approach our everyday musical instruments out the window… and then maybe setting [...]

Yes, some are claiming this Dockers iPhone app as being the first “shakeable” ad, I’m not sure if I agree with them on that idea. However, It definitely comes off as more of an “ad” amongst some of the softer hitting accelerometer/GPS ad apps that I have seen out there. I wonder how long [...]

I found this great site http://www.whatiswaste.com/ while looking for blog topics for Earth Day this past week. The site is all about innovative companies from all over that are not just “talking the talk” of being green and sustainable but also “walking the walk” and coming up with [...]

It’s not often that you hear of a musician completely wiring an upright lounge piano in order to control it by a midi interface. If anyone’s music requires such a Frankenstein approach it would be Dan Deacon’s. This video series shows Dan Deacon acting out his madman approach to music creation in the mountains of [...]

iPhone RFID: object-based media from timo on Vimeo.
I think we’ll start to see RFID technology infuse into our everyday lives more and more as our mobile devices evolve. It’s such a simple technology and it can be used in endless ways. Seen here, by holding the phone close to certain toys you get different video [...]

PaperTweet3d: Augmented Reality T-shirt from squidder on Vimeo.
Today I was fortunate enough to share some fantastic Sushi over lunch with two of my friends. All of us being involved with digital creativity/marketing, we naturally found ourselves gabbing on-and-on about all of our latest digital discoveries. My friend brought up her discovery of a live [...]

I find the above commentary by author Steven Berlin Johnson to be pretty thought provoking. Recently, I’ve started to drink decaffeinated tea during the day in replace of coffee. The main reason I decided to do this is because the caffeine overload coming from my 5 cup a day addiction was starting to wreck my [...]
