Roger Linn Previews New LinnStrument Prototype from Turnstyle Video on Vimeo.
Roger Linn is a legend of electronic music production. In 1979, he unleashed the first drum machine that employed digital samples of a real drum kit. The LM-1 was quickly embraced by the likes of Gary Numan, Prince, and Michael Jackson, shaping the pop sound of the 1980s. But what has Linn done for us lately? Turnstyle News has new video of Linn demonstrating his latest prototype, the tablet-esque LinnStrument. “Roger Linn Previews New LinnStrument Prototype”

Conductor: http://www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.
At http://www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

panoptICONS - An Introduction
Niekname
panoptICONS Utrecht 2010 from Helden on Vimeo.
“panoptICONS addresses the fact that we are constantly being watched by surveillance cameras in city centres. The surveillance camera seems to have become a real pest that feeds on our privacy. To represent this, camera birds – city birds with cameras instead of heads – were placed throughout the city centre of Utrecht where they feed on the presence of people. In addition, a camera bird in captivity was displayed to show the feeding process and to make the everyday breach of our privacy more personal and tangible.”

Bright Falls: The Prequel to Alan Wake
Niekname
A promotional live-action short movie entitled Bright Falls was officially released on 27 April 2010 and serves as a prequel to the game Alan Wake. It is divided into six episodes and can be watched online at brightfalls.com.
I really like the idea to begin a game with several short movies to promotional use or just to start with the immersion, before you can actually play the game.
Transmedia Rules!
Watch it on
brightfalls.com (they really did a nice Philips ambilight out of the box thing! Yeah… just watch!)
or watch it on
Youtube (new stupid interface)

Artist with Nude Art-Displaying iPad Necklace
Niekname
A man walking around at night with an iPad lanyard around his neck, displaying semi-nude artwork, could be seen as a meandering perv. Or, as was the case in Bogota, the man is Claudio Arango, and he’s an artist.
Office dwellers, before pushing play please note that there are grainy, painted/pixelated boobs in this video:
The artwork is certainly interesting, although I’m going to dock points for not taking advantage of the pinch and zoom features that are native to any Apple touchscreen device these days. Update: Sorry, but points back on the board. As sturm notes below, there is certainly some pinching going on in there.
More seriously, it really is amazing how a feature that’s as simple and ubiquitous as touchscreen swiping can still fascinate people. Or maybe it was just the boobs. Either way, that’s some simple, yet powerful stuff right there.
