Fractal Salt Mazes by Motoi Yamamoto

It’s not just for french fries and high blood pressure anymore: Yamamoto creates these sprawling labyrinthine designs using only salt. Also given to family members at the end of a funeral to ward off evil spirits, Motoi hopes that each line and branch of salt leads him to a memory of his sister, who died of brain cancer. This exhibit is currently showing at Hakone Open Air Museum in Kanagawa, Japan.

Playtime 2.0 of the Day: Qualcomm demos its Augmented Reality-fueled Sesame Street playset that brings to life real-world Muppet toys and accessories using an iPad and Qualcomm’s patented Vuforia AR technology.

This sort of next-generation model for playtime is bound to be controversial, not the least because it shoehorns children into a one-imagination-fits-all reality that leaves little room for creativity and inspiration.

[tnw.]

I love augmented reality things like this, I would love to learn about the technology behind it

The Fragmented Arts of Hamilton Ward

Hamilton’s illustrations possess a child-like perspective on the world, jagged angles and malformed proportions somehow conjoin to form surrealistic characters from across the geek spectrum. All designs are available as prints over at Hamilton’s etsy.

Painting with Sound by Martin Klimas

Martin’s volcanic eruptions of music are created by slathering paint onto a speaker and then turning that beast up to 11. He then takes pictures to capture tangible shapes made by invisible sounds. Click on the pictures to see the songs used for each piece, Martin played everything from Miles Davis to Kraftwerk.
