Living Objects – Can you find them?

Self Portrait

I like to draw self-portraits and then see what parts are me and what parts are made up. I have never drawn one that was completely me.

Then I add the real image as an underlay using Photoshop…

And after some stretching and warping, here’s how it looks…

The Art Guys

I recently found out about The Art Guys during a recent Google image search… my favorite way of confronting the internet. I’m adding these Guys to my list of cool links. They do a lot with common materials. Kitsch yet witty… and some of the work is downright pretty.

Solar Powered LED Necklace

This is one of the few pieces of LED jewelry I have seen that is beautiful and not awkward in its use of technology. It was made by a Swedish designer named Mae Yokoyama. The use of the LED is subtle and does not try to be functional. The solar panels are used for their aesthetics, but also allows the piece to avoid the incorporation of batteries. I hate batteries… especially non-rechargeable ones.

Kinetic Lighting Mobiles

I found these on MoCo Loco. The description was a little bit cheesy, but the lights look beautiful. Wish I could find a video of them moving…

They are made by Michael Anastassiades.

DIY LED Video Screens

David Vondle at Ideo Labs turned a glass facade in his building into an LED screen using an array of BlinkM Modules. He used I2C to program them.
