Doesn’t this sound a lot like an iPad in 1972? Edwin Land engaged Charles and Ray Eames to make the video. Was Land an influence on Steve Jobs? And @thoshughes? This video?

In these times of tough economic times sometimes an art break is needed, the video below may be just that. Enjoy!
Antikythera Mechanism
Posted in ARCHITECTURE & ART, GEEKDOM, VIDEO DU JOUR on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Okay all you culture, Olympics and clock geeks, here’s something you might find captivates your attention for a few minutes. Previous research on the Antikythera Mechanism established a highly complex ancient Greek geared mechanism with front and back output dials. The upper back dial is a 19-year calendar, based on the Metonic cycle, arranged as a [...]

If you haven’t seen Jeff Han’s implementation of multi-touch yet, well, here’s your opportunity: Here’s another. Being able to use both hands and multiple fingers is much more natural than having a mouse or touching with one finger like at the ATM.
The Cube Is Back
Posted in ARCHITECTURE & ART, HEH, Vlogs on November 18, 2005 | 3 Comments »
I was hiking to the east village this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed the cube has returned from the restorers. Today was the first really cold day of the season in NYC however I was happy to peel off my gloves, grab my camera and shoot a quick video. Everyone I know [...]
Robert Smithson’s Floating Island
Posted in ARCHITECTURE & ART, PEEPS, REPORTAGE on September 26, 2005 | Comments Off
Along with other curious New Yorkers I hiked over to the river to see Robert Smithson’s Floating Island this past weekend. The tug captain made a good show, pulling in close to shore and rotating the barge holding the tons of soil, ten or so trees and a few large rocks for full viewing. After [...]

I was chatting last night with another fan of architectural photography and recommended he check out the work of Liao Yusheng. I came across his work sometime last year. Dont miss his pics of the Kimbell Art Museum (Louis Kahn), the Auditorium Parco della Musica (Renzo Piano) and the China portfolio. UPDATE: I just noticed [...]
Bill Viola’s The Passions
Posted in ARCHITECTURE & ART, PEEPS, REPORTAGE on July 28, 2005 | Comments Off
On an antipodean note, The Age posted a chat with video artist Bill Viola re his current show, The Passions. The slowness of Viola’s work also has a political dimension. It is an antidote to what he sees as one of the greatest dangers of our age – the speed with which we receive information [...]
Six Feet Above, Seyed Alavi’s Flying Carpet
Posted in ARCHITECTURE & ART, GEEKDOM, PEEPS on July 24, 2005 | Comments Off
One theme of 2005 appears to be online mapping, something I’m very into. Google’s maps product arrived on the scene with amazing operability incorporating a clever tiling scheme to quickly render both traditional and satellite images with anchors at numerous levels of zoom and with dragability. And Google have included an API that even I [...]
