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.
