Lights bloom in Cornwall
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
“Field of Light” by Bruce Munro (currently installed at the Eden Project in Corwall, UK) consists of 6,000 acrylic stems connected with fiber optic cables ending in a clear glass sphere. The stems themselves hold no power, so there are 11 external projectors that send light to the balls while the entire installation covers an area of 60 x 20 meters with over 24,000 meters of fiber optic cable. Pretty impressive build, although we wouldn’t want to be untangling these cables after the install is over.

Add a trumpet to your tailpipe
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
This tail-pipe hack is meant to make some noise every time the vehicle (in this case a motorcycle) spits out enough carbon monoxide that could be harmful to the environment. Since this might end up getting you into an accident, so we don′t condone this type of modification, still it’s kind of nice to hear the sound of trumpets rather than the usual gas guzzling motor sounds your bike normally spits out.

Breath bra records your daily breathing patterns
Monday, November 17th, 2008
The “Breath Bra” was created as a simple excersize using a LilyPad Arduino to record its wearer’s breath over the course of a day or week and transmit the data over a Bluetooth connection to their cellphone (in this case a Nokia N95). Check out the link below for code on this build.

Visualize the sun’s patterns with a roving robotic instrument
Monday, November 17th, 2008
The “Spiral Sunrise” by Esther Polak visualizes the sun’s rising and setting through a solar-powered robot that is tethered to a tree and moves in circular rings around the tree. The robot carries an open sandglass so that when it moves, it draws a line of sand and the thickness of the line depends on the speed the robot is moving. Interesting way to show patterns of sunlight over the course of a day.

Growing, Raining Tree by Amorphic Robot Works
Sunday, November 16th, 2008
I really like the Amorphic Robot Works, and “Growing, Raining Tree″ is one of my favorites pieces. I really hope I have the opportunity to experience their work in person some day.
Like the biological specimen, Growing, Raining Tree responds to elements in its environment and is sensitive to movement around its perimeter. As you approach the pool surrounding the Tree, its limbs slowly come to greet you. Once they reach your location, the branches pull back and begin to drip rhythmically in response to your presence. When the Tree has no visitors, it takes a resting posture that many have described as “willow-like.”
