Thomas Thwaites: The Toaster Project
- Guest posted by TheGreenEyl 26 July 2010
The Toaster Project chronicles Thomas Thwaites’ attempt to make an electric
toaster from scratch – literally from the ground up. Starting with digging up the raw
materials from abandoned mines around the UK, then attempting to process them
himself at home, and finally forming them into a product that can be bought for just
£3.94. Thomas’ toaster cost £1187.54 and took him nine months to make. Photography by Nick Ballon. -
Dunne & Raby: The Statistical Clock
- Guest posted by TheGreenEyl 27 July 2010
The description of this project on Dunne & Raby’s website reads: “The Statistical Clock checks the BBC website for technologically mediated fatalities: car, train, plane, etc, and pulls them into a database. Each technology has its own channel. The clock checks it every minute or so, and each time it finds a new one it speaks it out loud… 1, 2, 3, etc.” The Statiscal Clock is part of the series “Do you want to replace the existing normal?”

Bernhard Hopfengärtner: Hello World (a visual code for Google Earth)
- Guest posted by TheGreenEyl 28 July 2010
Hello, world! is a real installation for the virtual globe of the software Google
Earth. A Semacode measuring 160×160 metres was mown into a wheat field near
the town of Ilmenau in the Land Thuringia. The code consists of 18×18 bright and
dark squares producing decoded the phrase “Hello, world!”. The ambition was to
have an areal view of the code integrated in Google Earths’ regular database. The
project was realised in May 2006 and photographs were taken of it during a picture
flight in the following month. -
Chris Woebken: Nanofutures
- Guest posted by TheGreenEyl 29 July 2010
What happens if nanotechnology starts to replace existing materials? How do we interact with this world? Using seeds as a simulation for smart dust, this video visualizes new interactions such as breaking, sharing, throwing away and mining data. These new interactions not only generate new behaviors but might also redefine our relationship with products.

Taryn Simon

In An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar, Taryn Simon reveals what lies
unknown in the realms of government, science, security and nature. The photographs
are formal, carefully lighted, however the toneless captions give the images their
defining weight.
