TEDGlobal: Imogen Heap’s Musical Gloves Manipulate Sound With Hand Gestures

The high tech gloves connect an interface to a live musical production system controlled entirely with hand gestures. Developed by Dr. Thomas Mitchell, a lecturer and researcher at the University of the West of England, the gloves are like something out of the movie, Minority Report, since sounds can be recorded, synthesized and manipulated live on stage by Heap using intuitive hand movements. LA Artist Upcycles Shopping Carts Into Park Furniture. Driven by the desire to provide recreational spots in MacArthur Park, Los Angeles for kids to play in, artist Ramon Coronado kickstarted the Mercado Negro Project (Mercado Negro is Spanish for “Black Market”), a 12-week initiative where he, along with a few friends, handcrafts shopping carts into park furniture of varying shapes and sizes.

Intended as portable playground furniture mainly for kids, Coronado’s artworks also serve as a commentary on the lack of recreational locations for the children of Los Angeles. He explains: I took it upon myself to take a shopping cart and make a statement with it. : Artist Yeonju Sung.
