IAAC's CAN-Based Interactive Architectures

Barcelona-based IAAC school is hosting a summer school (in Barcelona and Mumbay). The theme of this year’s course is creating an urban tool of a networked city based on a new informational layer. What happens if we think Urbanism and Energy through a new informational layer added in our cities?

The Simple Act of Making a Mark

[Alan Rorie] developed The Simple Act of Making a Mark, an installation about abstracting the creative process: The machine begins by looking at what is placed before it and detects patterns within it. The machine then traces those subtle patterns, amplifying and solidifying them until generative patterns emerge autonomously. The installation uses an Arduino Uno, an AdaFruit […]

“Tele-Present Water” Waves From Faraway

Hypnotic installation from David Bowen representing *real* waves. […] Tele-Present Water installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data buoy station 46075 Shumagin Islands Alaska. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred […]

Extreme Electric Racing With MIT eSuperbike, Arduino Controlled

MIT PhD student Lennon Rodgers and his team of colleagues was among the 32 teams who entered this year’s all-electric race, bringing their custom-designed eSuperbike to the famous competition on the small island located between Ireland and Great Britain. The brains of the bike are housed in an Arduino circuit board, which monitors data including […]

Yahoo Farm From RoboFun Guys (at Yahoo Open Hack 2011)

[Viorel] wrote me about an interesting project he and his friends from Robofun developed during the 2011 Yahoo Open Hack in Bucharest, and won the Hacker’s Choice Award. The diorama becomes a physical representation of tour friends’ behaviours. If you’re a both nature lover and a geek, you would certainly love the Yahoo Farm. The […]
