Le projet, appelé Air, est une collection capsule qui utilise un tissu intelligent ayant la particularité de changer de couleur en fonction de différents stimuli, comme, par exemple, le vent. Ce nouveau matériau intègre des composants électroniques nanos ainsi que des substances, notamment des encres, réagissant chimiquement entre elles. Une fois soumis au vent, aux rayons UV, à l'humidité et autres phénomènes que nous offrent les quatre éléments, l'étoffe change d'apparence, prenant des teintes sublimes, comme si vous vous transformiez en paon, tel Argus sous les foudres d'Héra. Chacune des différentes interactions affecte le vêtement d'une façon qui lui est propre. Et l'on apprend grâce à DesignBoom que "la chaleur aura un impact sur un cercle chromatique basé sur du RVB, alors que la pollution ambiante sera elle uniquement représentée par du jaune."
Avec Noisy Skeleton, devenez le pont entre son et image Voilà qui devrait combler les adeptes de la télékinésie et autres fans de Star Wars. Avec Noisy Skeleton (Squelette sonore), les Lyonnais David-Alexandre Chanel et Jonathan Richer du studio Théoriz viennent de créer une installation immersive qui donne au public le pouvoir de contrôler l’environnement visuel et sonore d’une œuvre projetée à 360° autour d’eux. Associés pour l’occasion au musicien et compositeur David Guerra, Théoriz propose une expérience inédite de synesthésie artistique où la gestuelle du corps devient une langue à part entière qui génère un son et lumières des plus singuliers. "Squelette Sonore utilise le corps humain comme un moyen d’expression pour explorer des paysages audiovisuels. Nous avons volontairement opté pour une approche minimaliste tant d’un point de vue visuel qu’audio pour provoquer une réelle synergie audiovisuelle. The Creators Project a eu la chance d'en faire l’expérience en avant-première. @antoinemovu
Un mapping minimaliste qui prouve qu’il faut parfois savoir rester simple Ce n’est pas la première fois que The Creators Project vous parle de mapping, du complexe « Box » par Bot&Dolly, en passant par le gigantisme de l’installation du collectif URBANSCREEN dans les entrailles d’une usine à gaz, nous pensions avoir fait le tour de la question. Mais c’était sans compter sur le fait que, le plus souvent, ce sont les projets les plus simples qui sont les plus impressionnants. Dans cette nouvelle vidéo de Raven Kwok, nommée Portal 1.0 (les gamers apprécieront), ce sont simplement quatre boîtes en carton qui se voient sublimés par les projections de graphismes générés en temps réel. Le projet utilise le logiciel Processing et est basé sur d’anciens travaux de l’artiste que vous pouvez découvrir ci-dessous. Lorsque l’on voit ce qu’il est possible de faire avec si peu, on se prend nous aussi à rêver de pouvoir mapper tout ce qui bouge. via Prosthetic Knowledge
ECO | raven kwok Created in Dec.2013 ECO was originally shown on December 8th, 2013 at West Hall 211, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. These footage were shot on May 22th, 2014 after I restored the original layout and setup of the installation, since I didn’t have a chance to do any documentary last year. ECO is a series of real-time animations demonstrating multiple bio-inspired interactions between Algorithmic Creatures, as a continuation of integrating simulated behaviors into the project, also as a prior stage for my final master thesis project Algorithmic Menagerie. It was originally a simple but diverse algorithmic creatures community including two species: EDF0 and CB91. 针对中国用户，若上部视频无法显示，可以访问土豆网版本。
Robert Henke 'Lumière' - Cutting the room with vectors and lasers (@robert_henke) As Robert Henke sets of on his tour with the new project Lumière, kicking off in NYC on the 10th May, followed by shows in Helsingor, Montreal (MUTEK/Elektra), London, Riga, Nantes and others, we offer a little preview of what is to come. If you don’t know Robert Henke, he is probably best known for his somewhat free floating role within Ableton and doing splits between creating his own art and software – Ableton Live. Robert also writes and lectures about sound and the creative use of computers, and held teaching positions at the Berlin University of the Arts, the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University, and the Studio National des Arts Contemporains – Le Fresnoy in Lille, France. Lumière – Based on self written software, this work on the edge of concert and site specific installation finds previously unseen beauty and minimalistic elegance in a commonly underrated medium.

WANKEN - The Art & Design blog of Shelby White Logo Process - Tamara Kauffman Interior Design Identity Development This logo process post is for the Tamara Kauffman identity design. A company in design and project management on the refurbishments of domestic properties. Designing kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and office spaces. Initial thoughts I was quite excited when I read the initial brief for this project as Tamara does get involved with certain structural aspects with her job, a new kitchen to be planned, or a new bedroom suite, as well as paint and decoration. The brief The brief seemed pretty simple at first, Tamara indicated she wanted something ‘Classy. It’s always a good idea to get as many visual examples of ‘liked’ and ‘not liked’ logo designs from your client. It’s the easiest way to really get an idea of where there initial interests lie. The other warning with this is to not let their suggestions keep you in a narrow lane of focus, it can be hard once you see their examples to automatically go down that route, but keep in mind it’s just a visual reference for likes and dislikes.
New logo. New site. Still Huge. Evolution. Design is an ongoing fight to solve problems - a perpetual process to address user needs. Huge was founded in the belief that great design makes life easier for people. And the best design is the simplest. Huge has always stood for simplicity in design: “Less, but better.” Over the course of the last 15 years, we’ve worked hard to apply the same approach we take to our client work to our own brand as well.

Installation Decorates Hotel Room With An Interactive Wooden Skyline It's often the case that you'll see a work of art in an exhibition space and spend a good half hour or so in its company, but it's not often that you'll spend the night with it. But that's what you'll be doing with a new work from French collective Architectural Visual Exciters called SKÖ. The piece sees the group redesigning a guest room at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille—which features various rooms decorated by different graphic designers and artists—into an immersive and interactive rest space. The rooms are each a veritable work of art themselves -- you may remember this graffiti room, which made quite a spash last year: Mixing high and low tech it uses wood, which hovers over the bed, to project patterns onto so you can lie back and have your very own light show—and don't be too worried about the wood falling on top of you either, it's all part of the experience. The installation paradoxically appears both light and heavy. You can check out a video of the piece below:
