Mr Punch

Created by art collective '//////////fur////', Mr Punch is a merger between a old Punch and Judy puppet show, and street fighter. 2 players control mechanical puppets via triggers and levers, to try and knock the wooden head off his opponents puppet.

Kinetic Sculptures

Tim Prentice, originally trained as a architect, has created a collection of wonderfully varied kinetic sculptures. These sculptures, looking like giant mobiles, give a way to see a thing we don't usually see, the movement of air around us. There are videos of some of his work on his site, the two I liked the best were 'Windframe' and 'Carpet'.

The engineer in me wants to minimize friction and inertia to make the air visible. The architect studies matters of scale and proportion. The navigator and sailor want to know the strength and direction of the wind. The artist wants to understand its changing shape.

Meanwhile, the child wants to play.

The Mind Molester

Its kinda disturbing that someone would release a product titled the 'Mind Molester' but it sounds like a pretty accurate description. You attach the device to a 9v battery and then hide it somewhere near your victim. It produces a 2000Hz chirp every 4 minutes, apparently a very difficult frequency and time to use to actually locate the device.

Your victim(s) will become obsessed, awaiting the next chirp to try to determine its location, completely disrupting their normal activities.

Let there be light

Paul Cocksedge has created a light called Watt? but he left out some circuitry, which is up to the user to create. Attached to the light is a pad and a pencil, to turn the light on you have to complete the circuit using the conductive qualities of graphite.

Return to sender

Once again proving you can make art from anything, Mental Hygene have made a wall sized mosaic of Elvis out of post-it notes.

my boss decided that we needed to do something fun and creative in one of our conference rooms - the one we use for brainstorming and internal meetings - and together we came up with the idea of filling the wall with post-it notes in a multicolored mosaic of (and i’m not sure whose idea this was) Elvis.

PixelRoller 2.0

PixelRoller, originally using LED's to write on phosphorescent paint, has been updated to use regular paint. This basically turns it into a hand held 'printer' and can be used to rapidly put text and images onto any surface. Theres a new gallery and video (which is really cool) on the site.
