[Paul Ferragout] realized a strange printer, with an incorporated program to print any image using a time-based algorithm. According to the grey value of a pixel on an image, the felt pen remains in contact with the blotting paper for relative periods of time. The Arduino-controlled Time Print Machine uses an algorithm to “paint” images — [...] . . . → Lire la suite: Arduino-Controlled Robot Brings Pointillism Back!

Hypnotic installation from David Bowen representing *real* waves. [...] Tele-Present Water installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data buoy station 46075 Shumagin Islands Alaska. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred [...] . . . → Lire la suite: “Tele-Present Water” Waves From Faraway
