N Building | Augmented Reality Architecture

Sniff

Sniff

“Sniff” is an interactive projection in a storefront window. As the viewer walks by the projection, movements are tracked by a custom computer vision system. A CG dog comes up in the projection and sniffs you, following you as you moves in front of the display and trying to get you to play with it. "Sniff" is a really awesome and creative work by Karolina Sobecka. Check more of her works at her site. I suggest take a look at "Wildlife", another in ...

Yooouuutuuube

Yooouuutuuube

This is Yooouuutuuube, a different way of watching YouTube. It creates an amazing animated grid out of the key frames from YouTube videos. A kind of combination of the Lomography Action Sampler and YouTube gives this amazing 21st Century zoetrope effect on your desktop.  It’s 80s but it's really cool. These frames are from "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads. Via Crackunit. •     •     •     •     •     • ...

Helicopter Boyz in Yomiuri Land

Some time ago, Nikon launched a new camera with a built-in projector, the Coolpix S1000pj. GT Tokyo strapped some of these cameras onto the Helicopter Boyz and let them take some pictures.

Little People :: Slinkachu

Little People :: Slinkachu

"Little People Project" is both a street art installation project and a photography project. It started in 2006 by Slinkachu and involves the remodelling and painting of miniature characters, placed on the street. In the scenes and the titles he give these scenes aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed. But underneath this, there is always some humour. Slinkachu has a legion of fans ...

The sound before you make it

The sound before you make it

Michael Jackson had several bizarre episodes in his career, especially at the end of it. But we can't forget that he was one of the greatest pop stars worldwide. In my opinion Michael was a very talented artist musically and also was a great dancer. Unfortunately he had lost focus on his career. And unfortunately had a tragic end. This installation called "The sound before you make it" by David Lawrey and Jaki Middleton is from 2005 but we can co ...

Yuval & Merav Nathan are a duo of directors who have in their curriculum some music videos and also some advertising films. After they have done this clip for Oren Lavie, agency Gallegos called them to do something similar for Comcast's advertising campaign. It is worth see more works by them at their si ...

555 Kubik

555 Kubik

"How it would be, if a house was dreaming". The guys of Urbanscreen have done an installation at the facade of the Hamburg Kunsthalle Art Museum (built from 1976 to 1997 by O.M. Ungers). The concept of this project came from the visual and theoretical concept of the architectural museum itself, making use of videos designed to circumvent the facade and its architecture to desconstruct it visually. The idea of projection is not new, Pablo Valbu ...
