Genetic Sculpture

http://www.genomixer.com/index.html

"I aim to create a building whose construction is based on your genetic identity. A space where the invisible manifests in 3D form. Genetic information will provide the basis for this organic system, a responsive data - networked real environment. The architecture of the system is responsive to your dna, it is responsive to you, you become embedded in the DATA flow itself; you will be the system. The user, as DNA, becomes the image, the system , the sculpture, the space. The user is the interface to him/herself."

Sketch Furniture

This furniture is created by drawing it with a pen in space. A 10-camera array records gestures as they draw chairs, tables, and lamps. The resulting 3-D patterns are output digitally to a laser sintering machine, which over several days produces each object by shaping and hardening 0.1-mm layers of liquid plastic. Sketch Furniture is on view and on sale (about $10,500 per piece) at Barry Friedman Gallery in New York.

Keyboard without keys!!??!!

I am observing, our comunity blog is all about weblinks, weblinks, and more links....
is that all what defines "New Media"... ok slightly diverting from the topic I would like to share something I read (might be "old news" for some of you ;) ...)
Lately, I read that they have designed a "keyboard" without "keys"!!!
This is known as OrbiTouch Keyboard and looks something like this ...

Quote "Imagine a keyboard with no space bar, no letters, no numbers… no keys at all. In fact, forget the entire idea of a keyboard, as you know it, altogether. Just reach down with both hands and grab your knees (assuming you have two knees), and close your eyes. Only subtle differences exist between this sensation, and the experience of first lowering your hands and gripping the OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard" Unquote... (more...)
