The Thought Project
(26 January 2005) - Danish thinker Simon Høegsberg conducted a social experiment over the course of 3 months where he stopped 150 strangers on the streets of Copenhagen and New York City and asked them what they were thinking about the second before he stopped them. He recorded exactly what they told him, and took pictures. The Thought Project is at the very least creatively entertaining, but I'm...

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...

Eye of Science: Velcro
(03 January 2005) - Looks organic, right? Like something you'd see in a nook on a coral reef? It's actually velcro. Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa are microphotographers who founded Eye of Science in 1994. Capturing everything from insects to velcro, their images help scientists (and the rest of us) make sense of the things too small to see with the naked eye. It's all done with Transmission-Electron...

Victimless Leather
(20 October 2004) - Tissue Culture and Art Project may be reminiscent of Dr. Frankenstein's lab, but they certainly are up to some fascinating work. Currently they are growing a jacket out of immortalized mouse and human cells. One day this may be an alternative to to killing animals for their hides, but in the mean time the project is meant to prompt a dialog about environmentalism, sustainability...

Babycomp and Ladycomp
(09 October 2004) - Babycomp and Ladycomp are personal family planning devices. Whether you're looking for birth control (Ladycomp) or want to make a baby (Babycomp), these devices offer a totally natural solution. By monitoring your patterns and comparing them to a local database of over 700,000 women's patterns the device manufacturers claim it will accurately predict periods of fertility and infertility. All you do to use it...

Genevieve Bell: Other Internets
(17 August 2004) - Intel's Genevieve Bell is nearing completion of her 3 year long study on the role technology plays in Asian culture. The anthropologist shadowed families and individuals in India, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China and Korea and learned first hand many important factoids for designers and engineers alike. During her travels, Ms. Bell found people in China who take their mobile phones to a temple...

NanoFlowers
(22 June 2004) - While developing a new water repellant coating for solar cells, Cambridge University PhD student Ghim Wei Ho generated these phenomenal microscopic organisms. If you're brainy enough to follow, here's how he does it: [ he ] passes a methane gas over silicon carbide wires, grown from Gallium, to cause these structures -- called nanobouquet, nanotrees, and nanoflower -- to condense, depending on the temperature...

Gesture Based Interfaces
(27 January 2004) - Toshiba, Hitachi and other home electronics manufacturers are investing heavily in the development of gesture based interfaces for their gadgets. As systems become more complex so do their interfaces. Gestures can be an intuitive way to control things, but can they be specific enough to apply to a broad range of functions? We'll see. via NE Asia Online...

Finger Whisper
(13 December 2003) - The FingerWhisper currently being developed at the NTT DoCoMo Yokosuka R&D center. Worn on the wrist, this watch-like terminal converts voice to vibration through an actuator and channels this vibration through the bones to the tip of the index finger. By inserting this finger into the ear canal, the vibration can be heard as voice. The great thing is that the body language of...
