Multi Touch Screen Turntables
I was really taken with this degree show project by Gergwerk. It’s an interesting and well developed interface that uses touch screen technology to emulate the traditional dj turntables. What’s great is the way the interface is so visual and very tactile (despite being a flat screen!). I can see a new era of djs who create new and interesting mixes with devices such as this in the future.
Google Art Project
A truly mind blowing site that you can easily spend a whole afternoon on, Google Art Project takes you on a virtual tour of some of the great museums collections of the world. You have the option to view individual works of art in detail, which before was only possible if you where there in the museum with a magnifying glass. I have just been on a virtual tour of the Palace of Versailles and felt like I had been miraculously transported to there. Only a visit to the museum itself would give a comparable intimacy to the setting and the works of art.
Susan Hiller
The former Anthropologist, and one of the first artists to use the internet as a source for her work, has a new show opening at the Tate Britain 1 February. Well worth a visit!
In Almost Every picture #9
The next exhibition at KK Outlet will be In Almost Every Picture #9, the latest of Erik Kessels photo stories made up of found, discarded photographs, never intended for public viewing. This particular book deals with a family’s attempts at taking photographs of one of their family members, a very black dog. The private view is on the 3 Feb. and the exhibition runs until the 27 February, 2011.
Bubble Ball knocks down Angry Birds from no:1 spot
It took a 14-year old boy to knock Angry Birds, the no:1 Apple i-tunes games download, off its top spot.With a little help from his mother, and after spending time in his local library investigating programmes, Robert Nay came up with Bubble Ball in less than a month. The game has now been downloaded more than 2 million times so well done Robert for showing those birds who’s the boss!
