Okay … now I’m inspired.
Of Man and Metal
Fantastic. Beautiful. From the Bldgblog post Library of Dust. Go and read the whole thing and see more fantastic images. Also check out the photographers site with additional photos. In 1913, Maisel explained, an Oregon state psychiatric institution began to cremate the remains of its unclaimed patients. Their ashes were […]
The App is a work of Art …
I’m just catching up on this story about the I Am Rich app for the iPhone. I first came across this post on Webmonkey and got some more details form the LA times. Have you hear about this? So Armin Heinrich of Germany wrote a application for the iphone that […]
Project FIRE
I found this image on the NASA image of the day site. They have some blurb about what this really is but that’s not what interested me. I’m drawn to the design elements here. I love the way the protective cap hinges off the cone rather then come straight up. […]

Shadow Sign
When I was an undergraduate at NYU I once saw this fantastic sculpture in a window of one of the many down town buildings that the university owns. The sculpture was compsed of a massive tangel of thick, stiff wire that was mounted on a blank wall and well lit […]
The Inverted Machine by Ralf Baecker
The inverted machine – Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space) is a light-weight sculpture, constructed from sticks, strings and little plumbs. At the same time it is a full functional logic exact neural network. Be sure to check out the video of this fantastic work by following the link above. Neural Networks, […]
Torpedo Rooms
These are dope. Makes me wish I had made the ends of The Neuron Chamber hinged.
