Interesting concept for a ‘wearable’ motorcycle, probably would be really fun to drive pilot although I wouldn’t expect to survive a crash in one.

Quite an interesting timeline of the popular trends which speed around the web, I can actually track the point in time where I lost interest in them.

This is a fantastic gallery of cameras and lenses which have been sliced to see the detail inside, amazing how much goes into these.
Video of the fantastic kinetic sculpture at the newly opened BMW Museum in Munich. A set of silver balls suspended by strings, pulled like a puppet to create wonderful 3d flowing shapes.

A brilliant mixture of 8-bit sprites and real life imagery, Lee Vidal shows us all what would happen if the computer games of old came to life.

Stunning computational pattern makers by Jarad Tarbell; substrate combines perpendicular growth with a slight water-colour effect to create these wonderful random city-like images. There are other algorithms in the gallery, but so far substrate is the best I have seen.

Experimental, algorithmic artworks by David (Sanch) Dessens.
Wow! Stunning, almost biological, concept design by BMW, which uses a layer of stretchy fabric over everything to cut down air resistance.
I wonder if it breathes too?

Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries as scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries.
An interesting animation attempting to convey the movement of the many magnetic fields which surround us.

Although this work like the telefunken installation visualizes acoustical material it deprives the viewer of the image. Only light impulses emerge from the intermediate space between the television and the wall, referring to the patterns on the monitors, which are constantly changing with the frequencies of the impulses.
If I had a TV then this is probably what I would do with it, brilliant installation by German artists Carsten Nicolai.
Absolutely stunning! The Air Ray by Festo, basically a mechanical helium balloon.

Always wanted to see what happens to the cd behind that mesh? Never wanted to destroy your microwave and/or brain by trying it?

This is quite fun, although the video is rather poorly angled, lit and shot. It is a kinetic sculpture entitled ‘Rotapult’ by Brad Litwin which rotates a cup and thrower and throws a little ball on one side of the rotation to catch it on the other. Basic yet strangely compelling.

A collection of fantastic experiments exploring the medium of code and design by Erik Natzke.
