Vik muniz is a extremely fun artist with some bewildering projects. The picture above is him drawing clouds in the sky, with those exhaust stunt planes. He’s got drawings made from wires, finger paintings using sugar, crop drawings from the sky, and a bunch of other projects that just make you smile. I first met him at the TED conference and have been following his work since. Go to his pages and listern to his commentaries about his work.
Daniel Rozins Wooden Mirror magically reflects your own pixelated image back to you by programming wooden chips to angel at different levels based on the amount of light you are reflecting. This is one of those “physical pixelation” projects that I like sooooo much. I had the chance to interact with it and it’s uber-tastic. In fact, it’s actually hard to tell what the image is since your so close to it, but the lovely part is the nostalgic flickering of wooden panels playing an orchestrated tune based on your movements. Sounds like those train old school train ticker panels.
Watch the videos at the below links or after the jump.
Spice up your room with these fun space invader decals that come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.

If you ever get the chance, go down to Providence RI for their enchanting “waterfire” events, packed full of eclectic people, mystic music, crackling wood fires, yummy street food, and at times, fireworks, jazz festivals, and outside dance floors. It’s a definite experience like no other thats free every few weeks during the summer.waterfire

Chit Chat is a scruptiously delicious and whimsical project by Steven Blyth and Matty Sallin. Each seat in a restaurant is connected to a microphone and projector. The Microphone takes your voice as infomation to display words such as “blah blah , BLAH, ba blah, la la.” The size, speed, color, and words are based on your conversation with the person next to you. Basically, your voice becomes the ambient environment in the space surrounding you in a non-obtrusive manor. HOW SWEEEEET is this project. It’s like living in a comic book but living in reality at the same time. yeahyea! Watch the videos.chit chat
Are you asian, or think you can tell the difference between someone thats japaneses, chinese, korean, etc? This is a great classic site thats been up for years to test your asian awareness-ism. They give you 20 some images, and you vote for what ethnicity that person looks like. I got 13/20..not too bad…do we really all look the same to some people? There needs to be a european version of this test..take the test!
update: They have expanded the “looks like” test with extra cultural test ranging from Food, Art, Architecture, and much more in their new Exam Room. I got 15/18 on the food test 😉
