Ex-Newsroom: Financial Times Deutschland
Kleiner Nachtrag zu den Newspaper Downfall-Fotos vor ein paar Tagen: Hier ein paar Fotos aus dem ehemaligen Newsroom der Financial Times Deutschland von Peter Raffelt: „Gestern haben die Kollegen der Gruner+Jahr IT begonnen, die Computer für die Einlagerung vorzubereiten. Hier ein paar aktuelle Fotografien aus dem ehemaligen Newsroom der Financial Times Deutschland.“

Draw Homer, the Simpsons Drawing Club and the Bartkira Covers
1) The Simpsons Drawing Club: „A place where a group of close friends in the UK have come together to draw simpsons characters.“
2) Draw Homer: „[…] is an art project of world domination. We want the very best artists from all over the globe to draw Homer. Our ultimate goal is to have Matt Groening himself drawing one.“
3) Ich verfolge das Bartkira-Projekt auf Tumblr so nebenbei und schau’ da immer wieder mal rein und seit meinem ersten Posting darüber sind da so einige tolle Zeichnungen und Comic-Remix-Seiten aufgetaucht, dass ich mir da wegen der Awesomeness nur noch sehr wenige Sorgen mache. Die Cover der Bartkira-Comics – die 4! – von Arambulo gibt’s nach dem Klick: Gib mir den Rest, Baby…
Nano-Nonobjective-Oriented Ontographs and Qubit-Built Quilts
Shane Hope stellt derzeit in der Winkleman Gallery 3D-gedruckte Glitch-Moleküle aus. Per Software generiert er Nano-Modelle in einer Software und fügt die zu 3D-Printer-Collagen zusammen, oder so ähnlich. Ich liebe es, wie der Promo-Text der Galerie am Ende in einem Future-Gibberish mündet: „chmodder-fodder for smartdustormin’ mass-mod-mood-meds runnin’ on you runnin’ on hyper-necker-deathcubes“. Das Technobabble ist fast schon interessanter, als die Arbeiten selbst. Aber nur fast.

Newspaper Downfall-Photography
Großartige Fotoserie von Will Steacy über die schweren Zeiten des Philadelphia Inquirer, der 2009 Bankrott anmeldete und aus einem riesigen Zeitungs-Komplex namens Tower of Truth in ein einziges Stockwerk in einem Bürogebäude umziehen musste. Von Wired:
The extreme downsizing of the Philadelphia Inquirer is a stand-in for what we know has been happening to newspapers across the country for the last decade. Since its bankruptcy filing in 2009 it has moved from the 526,000-square-foot Tower of Truth to a single floor in an office building.
Photographer Will Steacy has been documenting these financially difficult years for the paper, giving a unique perspective on the national downsizing and closures that are easily dismissed as just numbers.
“I wanted to create a portrait that showed the reality,” says Steacy, whose father worked at the Inquirer for 29 years.

3D-printed Flights
So einfache wie tolle Idee: Andrew Spitz hat eine Software gebaut, die Flüge als 3D-druckbares File ausgibt, personalisierte Flugdatenvisualisierung per 3D-Printer, sozusagen. Die Anwendung soll später Teil seiner Flying-App werden.
Through custom software built in Max/MSP, the user is able to select specific flights that matter to them, such as a honey moon, a summer vacation through Europe or all of their flights from a given year. To ease this process, the user can connect to Tripit or Foursquare and import their past flight data automatically.
Each loci comes with a card highlighting on a map all the airports flown to. The sculpture can be placed on this card to help visualize their travels. Additional information is displayed on the card, such as the title chosen by the user, the total distance travelled, the number of airports visited, and the number of flights taken.
The software generates a file suitable for 3D printing, so that the user can either print it themselves or use a service like Shapeways that prints for them.

3D-Printed Insect-Food

Susana Soares druckt für ihre Installation Insects Au Gratin Kekse aus zermahlenen Insekten. Yummy! Die Dame zeigt ihren Keksdrucker noch bis zum 5. Mai in der Wellcome Collection in London.
Edible insects are dried and grinded into powder. The insect flour is mixed with icing butter, cream cheese or water, gelling agent and flavouring to form the right consistency to go through the nozzle. The food aesthetics are designed previously, 3D printed and ready to eat or cooked.

Projection Mapping on Miniature Tokyo
Youtube Direkttokyo, via Core77
Unfassbares Projection Mapping auf einem Modell von Tokyo im Maßstab 1:1000 anlässlich des 10jährigen Bestehens der Roppongi Hills. Whoa! Noch unfassbarer: Die haben auf der Website dazu ein Spielzeug, mit dem man selbst Projection-Mapping per Tastatur spielen kann. WHOA! Ich bin begeistert, sehr.
“TOKYO CITY SYMPHONY” is an interactive website, in which users can experience playing with 3D projection mapping on a 1:1000 miniature model of the city of Tokyo. The handcrafted model is an exact replica of the cityscape of Tokyo in every detail.
Three visual motifs are projected onto the city in sync with music: “FUTURE CITY,” conjuring futuristic images; “ROCK CITY” that playfully transforms Roppongi Hills into colorful musical instruments and monsters; and “EDO CITY,” or “Traditional Tokyo,” which portrays beautiful Japanese images. Users could play a complex, yet exquisitely beautiful harmony on the city by pressing the keys on the computer keyboard. Each key plays a different beat along with various visual motifs, creating over one hundred different sound and visual combinations. Each user is assigned a symphony score of eight seconds, of which could be shared via Facebook, twitter, and Google+. The numerous symphony scores submitted by the users are put together online to create an infinite symphony.
Steampunk AT-AT-Toy
Hübscher Steampunk-AT-AT von jemandem namens Mark, den er seiner Verlobten Caroline geschenkt hat. Nice!
Each one of those rivets was cut out with a punch and applied with tweezers, and we both lost track of the number of coats of spray paint he used to get that gorgeous patina before washing it down and creating the stains and drips. He made the narwhal horn on the front as well. It’s hard to see but the legs and feet are covered in seaweed and barnacles – I can just imagine it tramping up and down the coastline, or standing in a harbour next to a crumbling pier.

Ashley Woods Robot-Toys shopped into Real Life
Nette Fotoserie von Daniel Picard, der jede Menge Toys ins echte Leben shoppt. Für mich funktionieren Ashley Woods Robot-Toys da am besten, der Mann verwurstet aber auch noch Star Wars, Batmans und Terminators. (via Creepy Robots)
