Wednesday Cool Links: Clocks, Cloudscape...
Solar botics
July 3, 2013
You know, sometimes it is hard to find a proper tone of voice to write these introductions. So how about I express what I wanted through some interpretive dance? *flails extremities randomly. That would do it, right? Being all multidisciplinary-like, merging art (of flailing) with technology (of flailing), just like our today's links:
 |
Twenty two servos and an awesome clock [ebrithil] used an Arduino Mega and 22 servo motors to create an awesome clock that looks like an LCD display and sounds like... servo motors. |
|
Bioinspired fibers change color when stretched Bastard hogberry is a weird name for a shiny fruit that uses iridescent colour to attract birds. Now scientists at Harvard University recreated its light reflective properties to create a material that changes colour when stretched. |
 |
Creating cloudscape sculptures from laser cut layers Beautiful 3D clouds out of opal acrylic by New Zealand-based artist Helen Reynolds. |
 |
Resurrecting 45 Roses of Jericho with an installation monitoring visitors Another interactive installation controlled by Arduino Mega. It features 45 Roses of Jericho which are a hardy desert plant that can survive without water for long periods of time. One plant is randomly selected to be watered based on the number of people visiting the installation. |
 |
Heavy machinery sculptures Belgian artist Wim Delvoyle uses laser-cut Corten steel to create life size sculptures of heavy machinery equipment where all the shapes are interpreted as complex and lacy Gothic patterns. |
Now, the conclusion will be a slower dance, as everyone is tired from browsing too much internets. Probably some gentle seaweed-like swaying would reflect the idea of closing sentences of this wonderful post. Until next week and have a wonderful summer evening, wherever you are.
