Created by Niklas Roy, “Perpetual Energy Wasting Machine” is a rope and pulley mechanism, installed in the staircase of the WRO Art Center in Wroclaw, Poland.
The mechanism connects the sliding doors of the elevator in one floor with the elevator call button on another floor. Operating in two directions on the first and on the second floor, the contraption automatically moves the elevator cabin in an infinite loop between those two levels. Inspired by what Niklas learned at school that energy cannot be wasted – it can only change its location within a system, the projects attempts to address what happens to the energy in this elevator system? Where does it go? The Crystal World: Algorithms, Inhuman Speed and Complexity. THE CRYSTAL WORLD The White Building, London 3 August - 30 August 2012 The Space's White Building cultural centre is within walking distance of the 2012 Olympic stadium in post-industrial, post-regeneration London.
As I walked down the steps that lead to it I saw a diesel locomotive pulling a train of cargo containers across an old railway bridge over the canal nearby. Millions of these rational forms will be in transit around the world at any given moment, arranged in two or three dimensions like crystalised capital on trains and docks and ships.

Everybody's asking, what with the pinball machine, Make welding article and giant ipod, where are the heavy metal, dirty fingernail, gritty car projects for which Hooptyrides became famous?
Progress is the natural enemy of having 1000 active projects. Consider the pictured combination fuel pump/fuel sender unit from a 2000 Chevrolet pickup truck. The gas gauge started acting perquacky and, considering I am a lazy person by nature, I asked the Chevrolet dealership what it would cost to replace. $800. And because I am cheaper than I am lazy, I decided to replace it myself.

The national book community’s annual celebration of the freedom to read. Banned Books Week began in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries, and it’s been going strong ever since. UNBORED has a feature titled “Banned Books You Should Read” — so you can tell that our sympathies are with the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression and Banned Books Week. Here is our feature! Every year, the American Library Association publishes a list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books. Books are challenged or banned because a person or group strongly believes that library visitors (particularly kids) need to be protected from “inappropriate” ideas or information.

New CAN Javascript Feature: Revoid.Js by Gwen Vanhee - Nightly. 'Paik Times Five' by Flightphase - Painting with Kinect and video - Nightly. Created by Karolina Sobecka, Jeff Crouse and with some help from Nick Hardeman, Paik Times Five was part of the one-night exhibition Infinite Loop, organized by the New Museum and curated by Lauren Cornell (Rhizome) in Seoul, South Korea.
Paik Times Five was one of the three specially commissioned interactive video installations premiering at the event. Rafaël Rozendaal and Scott Snibbe created the other two installations, and a curated program of single channel videos was displayed on the world’s largest LED screen. Karolina and Jeff’s piece generates imagery from the viewer’s movement: each person leaves behind them graphic traces. Latest work in the "Action Painting" series from Jeremy Rotsztain (@jmantissa) /by @serial_consign - Nightly.
The spectacle and surplus masculinity of Hollywood is hardly run-of-the-mill source material for generative art, but Canadian software artist Jeremy Rotsztain has been diligently exploring transforming cinematic convention into rich, abstract compositions for three years now.
Rotsztain’s Action Painting project (first featured on CAN in fall 2009) employs scenes and sound design—’data’ from action movies—as raw material to generate abstract expressionist style animations. “Revving Motors, Spinning Wheels” (below) is one of four videos released by Rotsztain this summer that illustrate just how far this project has come – the piece reads as a love letter to both Jackson Pollock and Jason Bourne. On close viewing the source material (culled from Ronin, The French Connection, etc.) is clearly organized thematically and the video functions as a serial examination of the stock components of definitive chase scenes.

With effect from the 14th of March 1992, we are annexing and occupying the following territories: i - All border territories between all countries on earth, and all areas (up to a width of 10 nautical miles) outside all countries’ territorial waters.
We designate these territories our physical territory. These territories, usually called No Mans Land or Border Crossings, are in constant flux. They change everyday, and in reports from all over the world we notice that new territories appear (eg the North and South Korean border), dissappear ( the East and West German border in 1989) and reappear (the Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian borders). We also observe nations’ fishing territories waxing and waning.

Ken Rinaldo; Autopoiesis is a group consciousness of interactive robotic sculptures - robotic art. Autopoiesis, is a robotic sculpture installation commissioned by the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, Finland as part of Outoaly, the Alien Intelligence Exhibition curated by Erkki Huhtamo, 2000. It consists of fifteen robotic sound sculptures that interact with the public and modify their behaviors over time. These behaviors change based on feedback from infrared sensors, the presence of the participant/viewers in the exhibition and the communication between each separate sculpture. This series of robotic sculptures talk with each other through a computer network and audible telephone tones, which are a musical language for the group.
Autopoiesis is "self making", a characteristic of all living systems which was defined and refined by Francisco Varella and Humberto Maturana. Paradise » RCA - Nightly.
