No Comments »Curious Displays by Julia Yu Tsao
Curious Displays functions simultaneously as a form of design research and as a proposal for a new product, a future display technology. Curious Displays is a product proposal for a new platform for display technology. Instead of a fixed form factor screen, the display surface is instead broken up into hundreds of ½ inch display blocks. Each block operates independently as a self-contained unit, and has full mobility, allowing movement across any physical surface. The blocks operate independently of one another, but are aware of the position and role relative to the rest of the system. With this awareness, the blocks are able to coordinate with the other blocks to reconfigure their positioning to form larger display surfaces and forms depending on purpose and function. In this way, the blocks become a physical embodiment of digital media, and act as a vehicle for the physical manifestation of what typically exists only in the virtual space of the screen. More of Julia’s great work can be seen on her website.

Really interesting developments on ultrasonic robotic vibrations. Scientists from Monash University will use the physics of a perfect pizza toss to design the next generation of micro motors thinner than a human hair.
No Comments »I Am Concept Video by Tronic Studio
Tronic recently created a great concept video showing reprogrammable matter. The video is described, “The title comes from the animals’ declaration of who they are. Each animal says, “I AM the elephant” and “I AM the horse” and it’s through language that they are reinforcing their physicality and their place in the world.”
1 Comment »The Origin of Mass by Aleksandar Rodic
The Origin of Mass is an experimental video created as a final project by Aleksandar Rodic for his procedural animation class at Savannah College of Art and Design. It was inspired by demo-scene and sub-atomic particle collision images. The name comes from the Higgs Boson particle which is expected to provide a scientific foundation for the origin of mass in the universe. More info on the website.
