WEBSITE Tweenbots | Kacie Kinzer NY


I Love a Robot me... Just received an email with an article about Tweenbots, a Robot/People art experiment by Kacie Kinzer. "Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal." There is a great Lo-Fi video showing Mission 1: Get from the Northeast to the Southwest Corner of Washington Square Park / time: 42 minutes / number of people who intervened: 29. Enjoy! I did. Na nu, na nu...

VIDEO + Papervision - Augmented Reality


Yes! that's correct I said "Augmented Reality" Using a webcam and flash, Boffswana took ‘Proto’ (an ugly blob of green snot) from their desktop to the desk. If you can not get your head round it at first glance check Boffswana's website for a 'How-to' explaination and on how you can get 'Proto' on your desktop. It's the future I've seen it.

Typography + Alphabet Cities (by Craig Ward)


Apart from sleeping, surfing and jack daniels, typography is up there as one of my favorite things. The inter-character spacing of Craig Ward's prints are getting my typography juices flowing, as a friend of mine would say "Sex and Typography are my two favorite things" you know who you are... Why not go purchase yourself one of these sweet Large scale typographic maps of the cities Craig has visited at www.wordsarepictures.co.uk (£70, it's a steel).
