New Work by Annie Mayo:

The Graveyard by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn

image from IndieGames.com

"The Graveyard is a very short computer game designed by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn. You play an old lady who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. It's more like an explorable painting than an actual game. An experiment with realtime poetry, with storytelling without words."

rachel said - "nice sound."

Color Changing Concert Hall

[stolen from Gizmodo]

Aurillac, France. A concert hall has just been unveiled that will be used for everything from sporting events to theater performances. Using a combination of glass bricks and fluorescent lights with color filters, the building displays a serene color spectrum across the entire length of the structure. [Dezeen via io9]

Eco Park Time Travel Mart: "Whenever You Are, We're Already Then"

Whitney Museum Independent Study Program

"Given the place that the program occupied in the lives of a number of now well-known
artists, critics, and curators, Rickey's description of it as a "fine arts finishing school"
in those years seems accurate, however ironically she intended it."

Julian Schnabel; their most famous graduate.


The miracle of this program:
tuition = 1800 dollars for an entire year which includes housing in Manhattan
application fee= 15 dollars

only 14 studio applicants accepted per year.

iBand + Nintendo DS

This is probably a huge meme already

Exploding With Energy Invincible Bangai-Oh!

Apparently there is Treasure's new Bangai-Oh! for Nintendo DS whereupon one can save level edited things as mp3's which output to your computer through the headphone jack and add new levels in through the ds microphone, musically

as was said by somebody "not even the total inadequacy of nintendo hardware can hold treasure's genius back"

(not the second rachel post)

Screengrab from The World Ends With You

Showing Kelly Animanatee

This cartoon was made using possibly the easiest animation program ever called Animanatee for Nintendo DS, by some person on youtube. You can just do quick little animations when you are in class or whatever and put them on the computer. Rachel and I have been trying it out. I showed it to my fine arts senior advisor tonight, who also happens to teach animation. She said "that's very handy".

GREENER GADGETS

text/images stolen from www.inhabitat.com

FIRST PRIZE WINNER FOR $2500 - The EnerJar DIY Energy Meter Kit

This little downloadable DIY kit uses household materials to monitor and measure the energy output of a variety of everyday devices, allowing the user to take personal responsibility over energy use.

SECOND PLACE WINNER FOR $1000 - The Gravity Based Kinetic Energy Lamp - Gravia

Reminiscent of a grandfather clock, this floor lamp uses the weight of a hefty component to kinetically power itself.

THIRD PLACE WINNER FOR $1000 - Green Cell Universal Battery Sold in Vending Machines

This little universal rechargable green battery would fit in every device known to man (allowing you to throw away that growing charger collection), and would allow users to charge and swap batteries in vending machines all over- providing an eco alternative to crappy Duracells and proprietary batteries.
