Spellcaster
(22 June 2005) - Spell With Flickr, a fun tool from the script-savvy Kastner, allows you to piece together words in classic ransom-note style without the hassle of scissors and paste. The code scours the Flickr archives for photographs tagged as letters and then randomly reconstructs your desired text as a mixed-up montage....

Missing: Since January
(07 June 2005) - This is not a typical game. Consequently, it doesn't have typical game packaging. Missing: Since January is a puzzle game where the user attempts to solve the mystery of a journalist and his companion's disappearance, (hence the keyword, missing). Using Windows and the Internet for game play, users have access to 300 real and fictional websites to help with the investigation. Users also receive...

Sensacell
(27 May 2005) - Leo Fernekes is a bit of a mad scientist operating in the commercial art-technology realm. He's a master electrical engineer exploring physically immersive human interfaces. If you have ever been to Remote Lounge, the hyper-surveillance themed bar on the Bowery in New York, you've had a taste of what Leo can conceive. Last night I had a chance to experience Leo's latest, Sensacell, developed...

ITP Spring Show Review
(11 May 2005) - In case you only read the feed or just didn't notice the image on the top-right area of the screen, we have a feature review of the ITP Spring Show which took place yesterday and today. Brian Maniere, our developer-now-contributor, attended the show last night and saw some fantastic projects-- interactive fireflies, networked flowers and inflatable clothes just skim the surface. The full review...

The History of Sampling
(09 May 2005) - The History of Sampling is a visual map compiling the history of music sampling from the jazz greats through the latest hip hop sampling, and everything in between. The interface is pretty impressive, it's all an interactive timeline and you can mouse-over albums to see the links between them. It hosts an incredibly impressive amount of data, and equally impressive user interface. via Data...

Cellphedia
(03 May 2005) - It's thesis week over at ITP and the second year students are propping their all-nighter-red-eyes open to present the culmination of their graduate adventures in interactive technology. Following last year's well publicized mobile social software thesis, Dodgeball, there are several new explorations of how the mobile phone can facilitate communication in unconventional ways. Limor Garcia's Cellphedia takes an sensible angle by limiting communication to...

The Zoom Quilt
(25 April 2005) - There isn't much you can say about this collaborative art project called "The Zoom Quilt", you just need to see it for yourself. Take a look, and you'll be impressed, and you'll understand why it's so hard to describe. The project allows you to zoom in and out of what seems to be an infinite world, presumably graphics all done by different individual artists....

Epic 2014
(14 April 2005) - Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson have put together a pretty interesting vision of the media circa 2014. Basically they see all media becoming totally personalized and decentralized, driven by individual personalities and intelligent filtration systems. And of course, it's all enabled by Google and Amazon. They may take it to a bit of an extreme, but they certainly summarize a direction many of us...

Aichi Expo
(29 March 2005) - Times Online has a wonderful article about the Aichi Expo in Japan... Wondering what it would be like to star in a film before you see it? You can go to see a special animated film at the expo, and you will be asked if you'd like to take part in the show on your way in--just by placing your face into a hole...

eHan Hoogerbrugge
(23 March 2005) - This image is from a large series of interactive animations in a set called Modern Living by Han Hoogerbrugge. Most of the animations work by moving your mouse over them to activate specific parts of the image-- making the character move and respond to his sorroundings, or sometimes even himself. They are all little stories about everyday life and it's said that the character...

SNIF Petworking
(21 March 2005) - SNIF, or Social Networking in Fur, is a project from John Maeda's Physical Language Workshop at the MIT Media Lab. The idea is built on the age old notion of petworking-- meeting people through your pets. In their own words: "SNIF presents a hardware/software architecture that aims to capture pet social networks and other pet-related information as pets and their owners explore their communities."...

Google Fight
(17 February 2005) - Google Fight creates a duel between two search queries with a cute little flash interface. It measures Google results for any two words or phrases--such as God vs. Satan. Who do you think has more google results? Luke Skywalker of Darth Vader, Josh Rubin or Tony Soprano? Find out for yourself if you're bored and want a laugh. It has no affiliation with Google,...

Name Voyager
(16 February 2005) - The Name Voyager, from Baby Name Wizard, is a fascinating visualization of the US Social Security Administration's historical database of names. Enter part or all of any name and this little Java application will dynamically plot how many babies were given that name during each decade, instantly giving you a sense of when (if ever) that name was popular. I already knew Josh was...

Archimedes: Chia Pet Meets Tamagotchi
(14 February 2005) - Like the Tamagotchi, Archimedes is a little friend from Japan brought to you as a way to care for and consider the meaning of life. Unlike the Tamagotchi, which was digital, Archimedes is analog. You get a little guy in a glass vial with some seeds. Over the course of about a month the habitat will sprout, bloom, flourish, die, and decay. Little Archimedes...

ION Educational Gaming Console
(11 February 2005) - About 6 years ago I had the chance to tour a certain technology company's research and development lab. Among the more refined demos was a TV console and video camera set up that immersed the viewer in an artificial environment where they could interact with things floating on the screen. This week, Hasbro announced its foray into the educational gaming market with the ION...

LED Cocktail Table
(08 February 2005) - A furniture designer and lightening designer teamed up at a Los Angeles based design company, Orange22 to bring us this Acrylic "Pixcell" lit LED cocktail table.

Hayat Benchenaa Radio Alarm Clock
(26 January 2005) - Hayat Benchenaa, where have you been all my life?? Hayat has created a radio alarm clock that puts my four devices to shame. This is how it works.

Dielectric
(25 January 2005) - Fabian Winkler has created an interactive installation piece called Dielectric. Inspired by the buzzing of powerlines, Winkler has created a structure that is a hybrid of powerlines and a traditional hammock. A sensor measures the changes of the electromagnet field. When a person approaches, she or he disrupts the electromagnetic field causing arcing, which is when electricity jumps across space to make a connection...

Audioscrobbler: Musical Match-making
(06 December 2004) - There are all sorts of match making sites out there, but few of them really work well. The best ones take very specific information in to account. But who wants to enter all sorts of specific information? Audioscrobbler finds matches based on music listening preferences. It sits in the background of your music player, so there's not extra work for you. Thanks Scott! ...
