“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 ...

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. •     •     •     •     •     • ...

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 ...
