“Luzes relacionais” (Relational Lights) is an interactive audio-visual installation that explores our relationship with the expressional-organic character of space. The installation uses light, sound, haze, and a custom-software system to create a morphing, three-dimensional light-space in which spectators actively participate, manipulating it with their presence and movements. The work functions as a living organism with or without the presence and interactions of spectators. When viewers step outside the projected light-space, the system begins its own dialogue with space by means of extruding and morphing sequences of geometric light forms. And when viewers penetrate and interact with the projected light-space, a collective and participatory expression of space unfolds. “Luzes relacionais” amplifies the three-dimensional fabric of space by making it visible, audible, and tangible to participants. The resulting aesthetic experience encourages an unending relational process of shaping space among participants. “Luzes relacionais” is a hommáge to the work and aesthetic inquiry of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark.

sorry folks, the embedded game was removed because it only works with auto start, which is driving me bloody batshit in true python form...

check out the game Monty Python vs Angry Birds online here via guardian.co.uk

also signup for the ministry of silly games when they become available here.

Zattikka has just announced The Ministry of Silly games, a Facebook virtual world based around the surreal comedy genius of Monty Python. Set to launch early next year, it will include eight free mini-games including King Arthur's Knight Fight, a slice-'em-up against such foes as the Black Knight and the killer rabbit, and Gillaxian – a tribute to the classic arcade shooter Galaxian, done in the animated style of Terry Gilliam.

I was looking to replace the Panasonic RX-5100 I had from 1978-1998, and came across this. Looks nice, and frankly while ipods and all are nice, it's a lot more fun to have one of these while hanging out with friends.

This one as you can see above comes in two variations, Classic Stereo w. 2 speakers and also a 3 speaker version (which like some classic boomboxes, seems like it would really cause some phase wonkiness to me). Both models also have USB, 3.5mm and RCA auxiliary portsand a larger auxiliary "LINE IN" port that allows you to connect a guitar or microphone.

Their available online starting January 2011 and at retail locations in February 2011 at $399 for the two speaker version and $499 for the three speaker one.

geek.com > Tableau - A nightstand that scans notes, prints pictures, and tweets scanned messages !

article by Doug Osborne @ geek.com

I just can't say enough about how much i love when artists create things like this that make technology so seamless and natural. the glowing knob is such a nice touch.

With this device, Artist John Kestner has created an fascinating piece of furniture called Tableau that can print/scan, using ZINK paper for photos, and can even send scanned messages to twitter.

Nicely Done.
