This is obvious, not only advertising but also art has the possibility to become more and more interactive with the use of geo-location as well as movement tracking systems. The “nerd artist” concept is becoming more and more popular, as we see from two projects, one from Australia, the other one from the US got our attention during the last week or so. Nike+ Paint with your Feet collected the GPS data from several runs plotting them in a three-dimensional scale. By tracking information about speed, distance and acceleration YesYesNo together with DualForce had the possibility of creating three different flows of color that could then be manipulated to modify color, texture and size of the images. On Coolhunting Adrienne has a great article and very nice pictures to getter a better understanding on how the project was developed. The other amazing example of an interactive drawing machines is called The Heartwork (actually The Waking Heart Installation) and is currently being displayed in the front window of a bookstore in Sydney. The idea here is even more fascinating: users record their sound and movement and answer a series of questions via the Philippa Finch website or a dedicated iPhone application. The information is sent to the Waking Heart machine where it gets processed and printed on a large continuous paper roll streamed live on the Waking Heart website. Based on Birds is the agency behind this, and you can read more about the project on Indesignlive. (via adverblog)

Set against monochrome backgrounds, painter Edward del Rosario’s fairytale-like scenes depict people counterposed with nature in charmingly unsettling ways. The Brooklyn-based artist has been exploring the subject for the past eight years, each piece adding to a larger meta-narrative that explores the “aftermath of a post-colonial world.” His latest installment of curious paintings will show at L.A.’s Richard Heller gallery in the upcoming exhibition simply titled “Fable.” (via coolhunting)

Watch this amazing piece of art / film “The Dark Side of the Lens” by renowned photographer and bodyboarder Mickey Smith. Says Smith: 

“Originally I planned for the film to be more anonymous, rather than biographical, an all encompassing piece, to represent the photographers keeping the surfing machine afloat…It also gave me the chance to ask myself a few questions, like, if you’re always observing and documenting what you see and experience, are you ever truly present? Questions like that where I could step back think and then see what the answers were.”

Gravity’s Loom fills the entrance to The Indianapolis Museum of Art and creates a geometry that appears more complex than previous suspensions. The installation takes advantage of custom designed software and machinery that translates computer models into precisely cut, colored and labeled spools of string.  (via kitsune noir)

Chilean-born designer Francisca Prieto experiments with typography to create innovative interior products and artworks. Her work plays with graphic elements in both 2D and 3D form giving each piece a rich narrative of its own. Says Prieto: “I like unexpected connections, like the idea of bringing together the concept of a compass and a clock…I also like taking things out of context, like using Japanese binding instead of hinges. The unexpected scale or context makes you look at it with different eyes” (via homelife)
