Photo Experiments With Kinect's Structured Light

A photographer experiments with Kinect's structured light: "The Kinect - an inexpensive videogame peripheral - projects a pattern of infrared dots known as "structured light". Invisible to the eye, this pattern can be captured using an infrared camera."

Hole Punch Art

Shadow Art from Garbage Piles

Tim Noble and Sue Webster make art from "piles rubbish, with light projected against them to create a shadow image entirely different to that seen when looking directly at the deliberately disguised pile."

"Invisible" Black Light Tattoos

Apparently, the meme of the "invisible" tattoos done in blacklight reactive ink has gone viral, but there aren't many details about the artist known only as Richie. You can see some of his work and contact info here and here.

I think I've heard about at least one billboard done in this type of ink but can't remember now.

A List of Great Screensavers

Smashing Magazine has a huge list of really cool screensavers. The one pictured above is Briblo that creates random Lego bricks constructions. Do you know any similarly cool branded screensavers that are not by entertainment / media / game companies and that don't display RSS feeds?

Machine Gives More Ice-Cream to the Sad

This ice-cream machine developed as an art project by Demitrios Kargotis asks buyers a few questions, analyzes their voices looking for signs of stress, and then dispenses the ice-cream following the logic that "the more unhappy you are, the more ice cream you need."

Photographing American Consumerism

Chris Jordan "looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books."

Some of his works are now exhibited in Second Life: SL URL, more info, Flickr screengrabs.
