Drawing sounds - Looks Like Music by Yuri Suzuki.

Sounds, drawn lines and robots come together in Yuri Suzuki's latest interactive installation. 

Japanese media artist Suzuki has developed an audiovisual installation titled "Looks Like Music" for Luxembourg museum, MUDAM, earlier this year. 

The interactive installation follows in the footsteps of Suzuki's previous project, "Colour Charter", which aimed at creating engagement amongst viewers and sparked social interaction.

"Looks Like Music" consists of a series of oddly-shaped miniature robots designed by Dentaku, which detect and follow a designated circuit – a black line traced in marker pen – scattered among colour reference points that the mobile objects are able to translate into sound. The installation aims to engage visitors by inviting them to participate in the creation of an orchestra. This is done by extending the circuit drawn on paper with coloured markers. 

The installation sees a total of five different colour chasers that translate the drawing into a symphony of music composed by Mark Mckeague. Each shape produces unique sound content such as drum samples and computer noise percussion to create playful audible chaos.

Puppy Products

Today i was talking to my dear friends +Gail Stock and  +Jennifer Baybut about life after university and how we do not want to pursue interior design further. 

Gail says she wants to be a make up artist (i think it was, correct me if i'm wrong) and i honestly cant remember what Jen said (sorry Jen :( think it was something to do with Meth :P ) and my latest crazy dream if i don't want to do Interior Design anymore i want to be a puppy breeder :P my brain is in full puppy mode, and i was thinking since you can only breed once a year with the same female, i should develop a range of puppy products too! there are such fun toys, beds and kennels and pet products out there! and the puppy clothes are fun, yet slightly ridiculous too! 

i see so many possibilities in this!

PINCH BY SAWDUST BUREAU --- i quite love this!

The Melbourne-based Sawdust Bureau crafts handmade, limited edition pieces of furniture with a stellar attention to the small details. One of their designs, Pinch, is both a coffee table and a bench seat that was cleverly inspired by a classic burlesque performer. - very non literal !
The piece is made to both conceal and reveal – a narrow, shadowy space to stash your less intellectual reading materials, like gossip rags, while the other end let’s you proudly display your latest issues of Time or The Economist.

"Pinch revels in the fact that it is infinitely more tantalizing to conceal than to reveal."
The overall shape is a rectangular loop that’s been “pinched” to form the two spaces of storage. A cylindrical concrete leg holds the one side up while one of the corners of the former rectangle becomes the other base. Built from reclaimed Jarrah and Victorian Ash, the wooden slats are finished with a traditional Danish oil. Pinch is being produced in a limited edition run of 20 with each being individually stamped with an edition number.
