Oh no, I’m losing it! Yet another YouTube craze which I’m a bit slow to pick up on (well YouTube isn’t the only site on the internet you know!). So maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t, either way this is a blast. Back at the end of November 2007, this hit cyberspace…. (pay attention)
It was influenced by this from June 2007..
Well there are loads of spin offs of these now, the top one is on an official Daft Punk YouTube page, so that makes if official, but it doesn’t give any history about it. Posted on the day before elsewhere is this one of the two girls doing the routine without boxes on their heads. Well their choreography is spot on, especially of course in the official version. This video here gives credit to the original by mashing the two together.
In my opinion, these are far better than Daft Punk’s original video, done in the anime style of cartoon. As much of a fan of this art I am, I wasn’t all that impressed by that concept for these music videos / film that is ‘Interstella 555′. Continue reading ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.’
Lightwave is a bright and shiney new festival ran by the Science Gallery to herald their launch this year. The Science Gallery is an initiative of Trinity College Dublin promoting the area where art meets science.
There is a great selection of exhibits on show including Beau Lotto’s ‘Bee Matrix’, Karl D. D. Willis’ ‘Light Tracer’, Benjamin Gaulon’s ‘De Pong Game’, Elke Harras’ ‘Light Drops’ and many more. Continue reading ‘Lightwave’
I’ve been thinking of getting an engraving on my computer for a while now. Have yet to find a place local that will do this well for a good price. It is a far nicer idea than putting stickers all over it, that’s for sure. I also want to change the colour of the Mac logo, which seems to be a straight forward enough process. iColours are a company in Canada that provide this service, although it is something you can do yourself very easily with some coloured gels.
Anyway, back to the engraving. There are a lot of very cool design out there from people who have bravely put their laptop under the knife. The following are three such examples done to Macs.
Engrave Your Tech are one firm out there who will help you customise your laptop etc with high quality engraving. This design is amazing and shows you the detail that can be achieved with this process. Continue reading ‘Laser Engraving a Mac’
Wow. Would you look out what crop circles have developed into. Let Steinski be your guide in a view of some creative cuttings in fields from high in the sky. Click on the image to take you there.
The brick is 50 years old! The Lego brick was patented on January 28th, 1958 and has had an immense impact on the world since then. Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen back in the early 1930’s. The Lego name was coined in 1934, meaning “play well” and it certainly has lived up to it’s name. The Lego brick as we know it today was adapted from a Kiddicraft design in the 40s and eventually perfected with it’s modular ‘locking’ design in 1958. This same design is still used today and old and new bricks are compatible! The rest is history!
Lego today is a global craze and enjoyed by fans both young and old. Originally conceived as toys, the infamous bricks have spawned a wealth of creativity from all age groups. Below are just a tiny selection of Legoworks which have caught my eye. Continue reading ‘Lego: playing well for 50 years’
