Artist Hong Yi Plays with her Food for 30 Days

For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web, but if you haven’t seen it all head over to her Facebook and read an interview on designboom. Photos will also be appearing on her Instagram at @redhongyi.

The FLoating Instrument Platform (FLIP) is a naval research station designed in 1962. It is towed horizontally to open water then flips vertically to provide a stable platform mostly immune to wave action.

The tilting is actioned by directing water into ballast tanks. The position is reversed by sending compressed air in the tanks. Because the bulkhead becomes the deck, FLIP has rooms with doors mounted on the floor, portholes in the ceiling, and sinks and toilets mounted for both configurations.

Developed during the cold war, it continues to provide a uniquely stable platform for research missions that include ocean acoustics, marine mammal studies, geophysics, meteorology, physical oceanography, and laser propagation experiments.

Minas Tirith made out of 420’000 matchsticks and 24’000 small wooden blocks (for Mount Mindolluin). It took nearly 3 years to construct the 7-tiered city, which contains hundreds of buildings, passageways, alleys, gates, ramps, tunnels, and much more!

Video: 4D printed objects.

MIT researcher Skylar Tibbits has shown off a process which uses a specialized 3D printer to make multi-layered materials, which then self assemble over time.

It could be used to install objects in hard-to-reach places such as underground water pipes, he suggested. It might also herald an age of self-assembling furniture, said experts.

“We’re proposing that the fourth dimension is time and that over time static objects will transform and adapt,” he told the BBC.

The process uses a specialised 3D printer made by Stratasys that can create multi-layered materials. It combines a strand of standard plastic with a layer made from a “smart” material that can absorb water. The water acts as an energy source for the material to expand once it is printed.

“The rigid material becomes a structure and the other layer is the force that can start bending and twisting it,” said Mr Tibbits.

“Essentially the printing is nothing new, it is about what happens after,” he added.

Such a process could in future be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings, he thinks.

Dyskograf by Avoka

Dyskograf is a graphic disk reader the affectively allows you to draw music on vinyl. Each disk is scribbled on by users with a felt tip pen and then the resulting drawing is translated into a musical sequence once detected by the camera located above the turntable. The turntable has a really nice aesthetic and it cleverly bridges the gap between the virtual instruments used in computer software and the tactile way of hand writing music with pen on paper. A video demonstration is embedded below and it is truly fascinating.
