Cool Hunting
Art-O-Meter by Evan Orensten

A project of Brazilian MIT programmer/designer Marcelo Coelho from 2003 that is starting to see some buzz, the Art-O-Meter is a device that scores works of art based on the ratio of the length of time people spend in front of art work to the duration of the exhibition. It operates as a clock until someone stands in front of it, activating its motion sensor and timer; an LED screen displays comments and calculates a fone to five star rating based on the cumulative viewing time.
His recent work includes explorations with "computationally enhanced materials" and "kinetic and electronically animated garments".

Jonathan Schipper: Irreversibility
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

28th São Paulo Biennial
In spite of strong criticism about its anti-biennial "In Living Contact" theme, the 28th São Paulo Biennial nevertheless seemed to please attendees at the kickoff last Saturday, probably due in part to the hands-on participation element. Everyone left with tons of reading material in their hands, from little art books to mini posters. Curated by Ivo Mesquita and Ana Paula Cohen, this year's biennial...

Grandfather Clock by Rob Price
by China Young Rob Price made a name for himself with the Grandfather Clock, a modern, abstracted take on the classic. Although you may have seen his slice of the traditional before (he debuted it last year), we think the way the design literally cuts away the excess material while still echoing the classic in a completely fresh way deserves a closer look.

Daniel Eatock: Imprint
"Imprint" is the first monograph from London-based artist and designer Daniel Eatock. The book chronicles a series of often personal, always conceptual projects that blur the line between art and commercial design. Written and arranged by the man himself, Imprint succeeds in depicting the diverse, scattered nature of his work. With no systematic structure, he litters the book's pages with almost 1,000 images of...

Pulse: An Emotion Visualization Organism
Pulse is a live visualization project by Berlin-based artist Markus Kison. It's based around a shapeshifting, heart-like object that reacts to the emotions expressed by the authors of private weblogs on blogger.com. A program aggregates words in blogs' text and scans for synonyms that correlate with the emotional concepts in Robert Plutchik's three-dimensional circumplex model describing the psychoevolutionary theory of emotion. The more one...
