Ghostly, Layered Photographs Peek Inside Gadgets

These pictures may look like ghostly illustrations, but the are in fact painstakingly-constructed photographs. Barcelona-based artist Max de Esteban disassembled various gadgets, photographed each part individually and then combined these photos to make an x-ray-like composite.

The results look like the illustrations inside the how-it-works books I loved as a kid, only instead of being airbrushed paintings, they’re totally accurate, real representations.

If you want to see the full-sized versions, you’ll need to head over to Max’s current exhibition in Brooklyn, New York (the launch party takes place tonight). Or you can check out the photos at the Klompching Gallery’s site.

Here is a sketch for my Responsive Surface Abstract Machine. Currently giving my self a crash course in electronics and programming using my arduino board.

WOW my eyes are burning and im so tired but I will not give up!

This video shows the three prototype components of the student teams developed during the Adaptive Solar Design Workshop.

Workshop participants: Lars Abersold, Julien Bellot, Giulia Bosia, Hao Li, Eva Luginbühl & Fabian Reimer.

Tunable Sound Cloud is a responsive architectural application that allows for real-time modification and enhancement of acoustic performance of space. TSC focuses on our auditory experience of architecture.

Designed with a responsive modular structure and interactive smart surface.
Interfaced through Grasshopper/Rhino 3D modeling tool + Max/MSP software.
Actuated with Arduino micro-controllers/geared motors + SMA wires.

Try and adapt to work of motion sensors to each LED?

Tinkering. Playing. Interesting. Slow. Lessons learned building the Instorematic.
In 2007 Russell & Matt volunteered to build a machine thing to go in howies shop window in Carnaby Street. It took longer than they thought, but building it taught them all sorts of interesting things about building, playfulness, slowness, making things with your friends and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The talk is about those things and other stuff that seems related. There are jokes and funny videos from the internet.
