The future, sans shades, of the Hole in the Wall |
|
|
It's a scene that could've taken place here anytime over the past three decades: In the front room of the Hole in the Wall, on a stage that's hosted more Austin music legends than almost any club in town -- performers such as Doug Sahm & the Texas Tornadoes, Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Timbuk 3, Fastball, and too many others to mention -- an up-and-coming local band whose sound straddles rock, pop, and country sets up.

Interactive, kinetic sculpture "Blame" - how it was made |
|
|
Here's a set of photographs of the interactive, kinetic sculpture "Blame", as well as a writeup on the technology and techniques used in building it - by Thomas Edwards.
"Blame" is an interactive kinetic sculpture consisting of a robotic arm with a pointing hand on the end that scans the gallery, and when it finds a viewer, the arm stops with the hand pointing at the viewer, and then the sculpture proceeds to blame the viewer for some horrible crime against society. After that, the arm returns to scanning for a new victim to blame. |

Tracker for Nintendo DS, DS homebrew music roundup |
|
|
Peter writes - "Boy, what a day: Metroid Hunters, AND a vintage-style Tracker sequencer / sample player / sampler music app for DS. NitroTrack runs via most homebrew hardware solutions for the Nintendo DS, and takes advantage of the DS' unique features: tracker interfaces, normally a pain to use, become a joy with a stylus inferface, dual screens make editing easier (you can even rotate views between them), and you can even sample with the mic." - Link.

The Lifters experiments |
|
|
Jean-Louis writes - "The Lifter works without moving parts, flies silently, uses only electrical energy and is able to lift its own weight plus an additional payload. The Lifter uses the Biefeld-Brown effect discovered by Thomas Townsend Brown in 1928. The basic design of the Lifter has been fully described in the Townsend Brown US Patent filed on Aug 16, 1960 and titled "Elektrokinetic Apparatus", you will find in this patent the full description of the main principle used in the Lifter devices." Thanks Sylvian! - Link. |
