  • Alcohol-Aware Glowing Ice Cubes that Send a Text to Friends When You've Had Enough

    January 14th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    The electronics inside the ice cubes know how fast and how much you're drinking. The cubes change color from green to orange to finally red as you keep drinking beyond the safety limit. If things get out of control, the cubes send a text to your close friend using your smartphone. They were envisioned and created by Dhairya Dand after an alcohol induced blackout.

  • The Art of Creative Coding

    January 4th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Another awesome piece from PBS's Off Book series.

    Programming plays a huge role in the world that surrounds us, and though its uses are often purely functional, there is a growing community of artists who use the language of code as their medium. Their work includes everything from computer generated art to elaborate interactive installations, all with the goal of expanding our sense of what is possible with digital tools. To simplify the coding process, several platforms and libraries have been assembled to allow coders to cut through the nitty-gritty of programming and focus on the creative aspects of the project. These platforms all share a strong open source philosophy that encourages growth and experimentation, creating a rich community of artists that share their strategies and work with unprecedented openness.

  • The Last Pictures Project Puts Photographs Into Orbit to Remain After the Earth Itself

    December 10th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Since 1963, more than eight hundred spacecraft have been launched into geosynchronous orbit, forming a man-made ring of satellites around the Earth. These satellites are destined to become one of the longest-lasting artifacts of human civilization, quietly floating through space long after every trace of humanity has disappeared from the planet.

    Trevor Paglen’s The Last Pictures is a project that marks one of these spacecraft with a visual record of our contemporary historical moment. Working with materials scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Paglen developed an artifact designed to last billions of years — an ultra-archival disc, micro-etched with one hundred photographs and encased in a gold-plated shell.

    In Fall 2012, the communications satellite EchoStar XVI will launch into geostationary orbit with the disc mounted to its anti-earth deck. While the satellite’s broadcast images are as fleeting as the light-speed radio waves they travel on, The Last Pictures will remain in outer space slowly circling the Earth until the Earth itself is no more.

    Heavy.
