Last Friday we launched the first part of The Memory Project, an online 3D image bank (made with PV3D) of the 21st century ‘cyclorama’ created by artist Jason Bruges.

Inspired by Bluebook, the artist Jason Bruges has created The Memory Project - a 21st century ‘cyclorama’. The structure camera-captures panoramic moments in time and stores them within its digital memory bank. Inside, visitors can explore the stored history of the installation and interact with the displayed 360 degree images.

The Memory Project tours in April 2008, collating the mass memory of London, Edinburgh and Liverpool en route. You can delve even deeper into these public memory banks at www.o2memoryproject.com from Friday 18th April 2008.

Since the latest Massive Attack World Tour I’m a big fan of the UnitedVisualArtists and their lightning installations.

Now Battles, known as an US math rock band, releases it’s new EP called TONTO+ and together with the UVA and WarpFilms - site by Less Rain =) - they produced this video where you can see a part of such a light installation in action.

I’m not sure, if this video can top the previous one, but it’s quite nice to see the installation again in action.

For anyone being interested in German experimental noise bands from the late 1970s and early 1980s:
You might enjoy the fact that there will be a unique live performance of Lustfaust and Schneider TM.

The cover collection shown at www.lustfaust-live.de might be of interest for you as well.

Philip Worthington’s ‘Shadow Monsters’ is currently being exhibited at Tokyo Design Tide. The most fun new media installation I’ve seen in a while. This YouTube video doesn’t do it justice. More on his website.

Update - a short video from the Tokyo Design Tide version:

Multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations.

Multi-Touch Interaction Research



An experiment aimed at providing the experience of the Minority Report interface. But without gloves.

Naturalinteraction



See more examples in Pixelsumo.

This is amazing interface stuff from the MIT Media Lab, which has always been at the forefront of interaction design. I would certainly go back to school if they had one of this, plus a variation of the brilliant Messa Di Voce installation / performance that Golan Levin and Zach Lieberman did in 2003.

The artists Elmgreen & Dragset created this sealed boutique near Marfa. It will slowly decay.
