Wired 13.02: Revenge of the Right Brain: “Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the Conceptual Age - ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion.”

The TeleBlaster: “Good news, you can now be the proud owner of one of Aristarkh Chernyshev’s incredible TV enhancers.

Take the TeleBlaster for example. It allows watching TV programs in a special mode of the signal processing. You can load different effects algorithms from a flash-card or from the manufacturer website.

TeleBlaster allows mixing your videofeeds with a TV broadcast. Plus, you can generate video effects synchronous to sound and get control over information streams.

Television becomes, literally, a Lego set from which users/watcher creates his/her own worlds.

Actually the TeleBlaster sounds too complicated for me, I’d rather have the TV-set Shining Star.

Via Aeiou.

“Touchable Media Art” game: “Toshio Iwai has created for Nintendo DS a new music game called Electroplankton.

Electroplankton presents the player with ’soothing music’ and graphics on the DS’s two screens. 10 ‘digital planktons’ react to your touch and voice, making different gestures and sounds of their own. The game, labelled as a ‘Touchable Media Art’, also takes advantage of the DS’s microphone by recording and playing back sounds and voices as tunes.

Electroplankton also has an ‘audience mode’ in which it creates musical tunes on its own.

Should hit the Japanese market on April 7, with a pair of headphones and an exhibition at Laforet Museum in Jingumae, running from April 8-14.

See the testing videos on the site.

Iwai has created many fabulous works before. One of them is Sound-lens , a portable device to turn light into sound.

Artificial lights blink on and off or change their intensity in a certain frequency; however, this is invisible to our eyes. Sound-lens converts these high frequency transitions of light into sound.

Via del.icio.us. More pictures.

the box doodle project: “the rules are quite simple: rearrange a box to make any kind of figure or object. make the most of least.”

A Field of TV’s in Silverlake: “

The Los Angeles based artist Tofer sent us the photo above. He says about it - ‘This is a public piece done in Silverlake (LA) that I came across last Monday — a hill full of TVs w/ some interesting messages painted on them. The author is unknown at this time…’
