3d art in a new, 2d way

Although the next piece of design is simply cutting edge i cannot admit myself that this is a matter of you like it or not. There is no fuss about it and no judgment. Keeping aside the art point of vie one cannot argue about the technology it involves and what this piece of information can further develop into. Only time could tell meanwhile please watch this below.

American artist and researcher Evan Roth has created a series of physical sculptures from
motion-tracked graffiti data. As co-founder of the free art and technology lab (F.A.T. lab)
and the graffiti research lab (G.R.L.) in Brooklyn, Roth is not new to integrating the two
channels of technology and art together.

For 'graffiti analysis: sculptures', a new software called 'GA 3D' was used with an earlier project, 'graffiti analysis', to capture the unseen motion involved in tagging. In collaboration with an anonymous Viennese graffiti writer,
motion data was collected in the streets and converted into workable 3D files.

The models were then made physical through the use of a 3D printer in ABS thermoplastic. The forms
are stretched by time in the z-dimension with pen speed expressed through the varying
thickness of the sculpture. All the information and software used in the project are open source
and available for download online.

Time teller… for real

This timeless peace delivers the god old answer to the question “What time is it” in a more fashionable way…

„It is half past eight.“ LED lighting technology keeps things readable, and an ambient light sensor keeps the thing from giving your house a neon-lit bar room vibe — which is about the last thing a laptop-priced clock should do. The front surface is made of polished acrylic glass.

QLOCKTWO makes you pause and allows a different view of time in a world that time is essential. 

The typographic front combines the moment with the written word and makes it a statement.  The lacquered wooden body supports it by means of eight magnets. That way the front surface can be replaced without visible attachments. There are satin stainless steel or five colors of polished synthetic glass to choose from, each generating contrasts or consistencies in interplay with their surroundings.

The only problem i see to is that the display proves that mathematics is not the universal language of the Earth… simply because the numbers are spelled not written :P

X-Ray Playboy Calendar…

Wake up! We are taking about art here not pornography!

 

The “Eizo: Pin-up Calendar 2010” is really particular. This pin-up calendar offers you more than the usual integral nude : X-ray girls literally.

They say beauty is skin deep so maybe this is the real test!

Are women inner beauty captured in those pages?

Is “the body”, `couse that`s all you can see literally – bones and shades – the ultimate aphrodisiac?

You have to have it on your walls to answer those questions. preferably the most intimate walls of your home ;)

I suppose that this is the ultimate erotic fantasy to a radiologist :)
