today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday!
My former work colleague Pieter runs the great Blog todayandtomorrow.net. Next Wednesday it’s today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday and he is organizing a nice little event. Come along if you´re in Berlin! Here is what he writes about it:
It’s an exhibition format developed by Aram Bartholl, this is the manifest:
Hit an Internet-cafe, rent all computers they have and run a show on them for one night. All art works of the participating artists need to be on-line (not necessarily public) and are shown in a typical browser with standard plug-ins. Performance and life pieces may also use pre-installed communication programs (instant messaging, VOIP, video chat etc). Custom software (except browser add-ons) or off-line files are not permitted. Any creative physical modification to Internet cafe itself is not allowed. The show is public and takes place during normal opening hours of the Internet cafe/shop. All visitors are welcome to join the opening, enjoy the art (and to check their email.)
So here are the details for the today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday SPEED SHOW:
Wednesday 21th of July 2010, 21:00 – 00:00

Andreya Triana ‘A Town Called Obsolete’ (Official Video)
Andreya Triana ‘A Town Called Obsolete’ (Official Video) from Ninja Tune on Vimeo.
“Second single from Andreya Triana, ‘A Town Called Obsolete’, released on 26th July on Ninja Tune. Taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘Lost Where I Belong’ (23rd August), which is produced by Bonobo”I like the video a lot as they used the all so popular stereoscopic effect to simulate image depth. Its been spreading over the web for some time now and animated gif blogs feature many kinds of imagery. See some on abduzeedo or on gesticulation. But lets not forget about Andreya Triana…she had a huuge year and the Album on Ninja Tune is long awaited, with tracks cooperations by Bonobo and even Mount Kimbie, some of my favourite artists at the moment. Looking forward to it!

Nike Music Shoe + making of
Nike produced a really cool ad for the Nike Free Run+ shoe. The Act Hifana does a live performance by bending the flexible sole of the shoe. Cool concept for an ad and it looks like they had a great time producing this.
Pieter from todayandtomorrow.com sums up how they did it:
“…the shoes used in the video are the real sound controllers. Tomoaki Yanagisawa of 4nchor5 la6 was responsible for the hardware part. He added flexible and accelerometer sensors to the shoes. Daito Manabe of rhizomatiks did the sound programming with Max.They were both commissioned by Wieden + Kennedy Tokyo for this project.”

Cyriak – Cycles
Cyriak is a freelance animator based in brighton (UK). Here´s a recent clip and Cyriak states: “Worthing is undergoing inter-dimensional difficulties… Bears and cars and pigeons are invovled, though not necessarily to blame”. Great fun! See more of his mad work on his website.
percussionlab.com – a fine selection of dj recordings
I´m glad i found out about percussionlab.com. I think this is by far the best collection of good dj sets i´ve seen on one place in the web. With great musical diversity, this website is rich on content, organized and visually appealing. Again Praveen and Sougwen Chung i blogged about, are involved. All thumbs up!

Chat roulette by Casey Neistat
Ever heard of the website chatroulette.com? It´s a “new service for one-on-one text-, webcam- and microphone based chat with people around the world.”
Casey Neistat did a great film about it. After watching this go see the 24 best chat roulette screenshots. I really had a good laugh..
By the way, i really like Casey´s other productions so don´t forget to check out his vimeo page.
oneframeoffame.com – Interactive Music Video by C-Mon & Kypski
Share one frame of fame. The idea behind oneframeoffame.com ist to produce a music video with the support of the web community. C-Mon & Kypski are producing the ‘More is Less’ music video and are using the help of users and their webcams. By using photographed frames from people all over the world a cool video came together. The music is fun and uplifting and isn´t it a great way to promote an album? I think it is! Almost 6000 Participants and counting..
Now share your frame and be creative!

First Website with Audiovisual Navigation by Andreas Lutz
A really good attempt from Andreas Lutz to navigate through a Website with Hand movement and voice. Unluckily i currently have no webcam to test the movement control but the voice navigation worked ok. It´s not very efficient and a bit tiring after a while i imagine, but a lot of fun and more Websites like this one will surely follow.
Connect your Mic and Webcam and try it here.
Watch a demo of it here:

Entire Cities Recreated Using Thousands of Flickr Photos
An amazing project by the University of Washington’s graphics and imaging laboratory (GRAIL). I imagine that in future this could be combined with augmented reality apps for Iphone or other mobile devices to visualize cities and places through the perspective of visitors / web users.
This is what the “thenextweb.com” writes about it:
“A group of researchers with University of Washington’s graphics and imaging laboratory (GRAIL) wanted to see if they could build a piece of software that would search the web for images of a particular place and recreate that place in 3D in under a day.They succeeded, and the team, lead by Sameer Agarwal, created a simulation of Rome using 150,000 images harvested from photo-sharing website Flickr, and build a virtual model within a day. The team also tested the software on the Croatian city of Dubrovnic and were able to recreate the entire old city, including all the buildings and streets, within 22 hours. The principle isn’t new – the team previously developed tools which can create 3D models from a collection of photos, which subsequently evolved into Microsoft’s Photosynth. But while that technology was good, “Using the existing system it would have taken years to recreate a whole city,” Agarwal told NewScientist.”

Future is now made by Honda
Honda’s U3-X is the Human Transportation Device From the Future!
The Honda U3-X, the automaker’s new personal mobility device, is a boom box-looking one-person unicycle-like scooter for office use, home mobility and travel on sidewalks without interfering with walkers.
This is less a replacement for a walker, as with Honda’s Walking Assistance Device, and more a Segway-style personal passenger vehicle. It uses an electric motor designed to provide free movement in all direction, stop, and adjust speed on the fly using shifting body weight. The trick is the Honda Omni Traction Drive System or the “HOT Drive System”.

Onebeat Tour – a berlin based non-profit music project!
|
| I just uploaded the english section of the onebeat project i am currently working on. I am doing design and project management and i´m quite looking forward to see it progressing.
We are a group of friends from Berlin trying to make a little change with a good vibe and the right tools. It´s a about a music project travelling around the globe in 3 Stations trying to generate money for a non-profit aid organisation. Nobody of our crew gets any profit out of it and it really is a lot of work. I am doing all the design and programming work and as i got involved very recently it all came down in bit of a hurry. Still i am quite happy with the result, even if i had to work with a topframe for the audio player….and i thought i´d never work with frames again ( webdesigners kow what i mean). Would have been much nicer to implement an Ajax Solution here or even to pull up the whole Site with an proper CMS (Content Management System) like Typo3. Anyway, time didn´t allow to do so and as there is no money in i have to work on the project after my regular tasks as a web developer. I took special care in implementing a sharing panel to stand up for current social media trends..and hopefully lots of you guys will use it. I think it really is a project worth sharing, and thats always just a click away. So enough said, hopefully you like what we do! The more successful we are, the more money we can generate for a good purpose! So spread the vibe!!! Visit at http://www.onebe.at |

Spezify – a useful search tool…
I like the Idea of this one…in time where Media grows together it is necessary to filter it somehow..still interesting to see it all together on one Place.
Spezify searches within all media types and make no difference between blogs, videos, microblogs and images.
It works well and presents all the content in a way that pleases the eye.
Try it out on http://www.spezify.com/
