TechKwonDo__WiFi.Bedouin: “WiFi.Bedouin is a wearable, mobile 802.11b node disconnected from the global Internet. It forms a WiFi ‘island Internet’ challenging conventional assumptions about WiFi and suggesting new architectures for digital networks that are based on physical proximity rather than solely connectivity. Most significantly, WiFi.Bedouin facilitates the creation of a truly mobile web community.”

Interesting, this has some points of crossover interest with my cathedral project (more to blog on that later). Primarily the idea of ‘island Intenet’.

· Greyworld · The Source (2004): “The Source, a eight storey high kinetic sculpture, is the new symbol for the Stock Exchange. Every morning, millions of viewers around the world will watch the installation come to life, signifying the opening of the London Markets.

The Source is formed from a grid of cables arranged in a square, 162 cables in all, reaching eight stories to the glass roof. Nine spheres are mounted on each cable and are free to move independently up and down its length. In essence the spheres act like animated pixels, able to model any shape in three dimensions – a fluid, dynamic, three dimensional television.

loop.ph - walls with ears: “A traditional textile heritage is celebrated with flocked wallpaper that comes to life as it reacts to ambient noise levels. The louder the space the brighter the wallpaper glows. It explores the experience of human presence and action having a tangible effect on space and provides a direct and analogue reflection of this by addressing the point where ambient space ends and surface begins. A new depth and language is brought to otherwise dormant decorative materials that simply surface and contain space.”
