Wilderness

Wilderness by Doug Aitken is a kinetic installation, made of stainless steel mirrors which are computer controlled by 35 variable speed motors. I would love to see a video of it. Anyone has a link?

Electronic Ruler

The Electronic Ruler designed by Shay Shafranek and Oded Webman can do a lot more than your average one. It can measure the length of each line you draw no matter where you start. But it can also measure the distance between 2 points, add the value of different lines and change its scale.

Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus

The Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus by Julius von Bismarck and Benjamin Maus, is a drawing machine illustrating a never-ending story by the use of patent drawings. It is connected to the internet where it can crawl through a database with over 7 million patents. The machine reads and translates those documents into drawings and looks for references to older patents to continue its story. You should watch the video on the website, the result is some sort of wallpaper for industrial designers and engineers.
