Descriptive Camera – by Matt Richardson. A little while after pressing the camera’s button a little printer spits out a description like: “Looks like a cupboard which is ugly and old having name plates on it with a study lamp atteched to it.” How it works? The piece of art sends a picture to an Amazon service (called Mechanical Turk). Real people write the description send it back and the little printer does the rest of the work. Makes me think about using this Amazon service for a lot other cool stuff.

1UP for Soundmachines by The Product. Turntablestyle sound-thingy with optical input. Wanna scribble some patterns and hear what they might sound like.

Computational architecture. Maybe nothing that hardliners like Le Corbusier or van der Rohe would approve. But hey, pillars (with no purpose at all) that have 16 million unique tiny surfaces and are created with a sci-fi looking software are just much cooler than puristic usefulness.
