““The aesthetic mad cow disease of art feeding upon itself.””

- A description of modern self-referential and pop culture satire most street artists are pushing into galleries. I like it. Popaganda, The Art and Crimes of Ron English. (Documentary)

Aleksander Emelianenko
He might not have had the record of Fedor but he had the same ring presence and fists. Grim Reaper really was an appropriate nickname since he could be lumped into any modern film as a glum uncaring reaper.

This is just his more friendly works.
As most of you know he mostly deals in gore, guro and disgusting erotica.
Also racing dead women down streams aka Drafting The Water Goddess.

Diminished Reality

Ok if you haven’t seen the concept of “diminished reality” it’s using Augmented Reality to purposely remove or obscure things from our view. The main example is the ability to blank out billboards and replace them with images from a personal album for example.

The video above is from 2010 however there are other great examples of diminished reality which I’ve just found.

This video focuses on using diminished reality (And in a related video Augmented Reality) aiding someone to check the health of a small aircraft. Instead of overlaying commands and highlighting the object the non-relevant objects are taken away by the diminished reality device ( In this case a dial )

If removing elements or highlighting elements is more useful to a learner seems to be an interesting study someone should do.

Another video worth mentioning is the EyeTap device and the working demonstrated ability to remove advertisements as shown here. Although it’s not as refined as other examples it is something to check out.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/04/google-begins-testing-its-augmented-reality-glasses/

Google slowly lets out these amazing bursts of technology from the ominously named “Google X” offices where the self driving cars they’d secretly been testing were developed.

The thing of note however is the minimalist overlay for the AG (Augmented Reality) which differs slightly from a lot of other visions. The UI is the opposite of the recurring dystopian story of information addiction with constant information on screen where we turn off our devices to escape.

Inflatable High Altitude Wind Turbine May Produce Double the Power at Half the Cost

Now I’ve always been a big fan of any blimp based technology and finally after 20 years of discovery channel shows telling us how the future is in blimps we have an offshoot for power generation.

Now I’m particularly interested in the use on a small scale for a private house or one crazy man’s techno-commune. I don’t know how thick or strong the tether would have to be and the effects on cost but sounds good as long as no planes are near.

A video looking at extensions of our current UI and devices. Much more about the idea of disposable technology from what I can see but still nice to see a slick video.

http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesign/ is where I found the video and the critique of it is actually spot on.

The concept of flat devices beneath a pane of glass isn’t revolutionary it’s refinement of design. Our hands can do a lot more than point and poke.

Second of two short films by Keiichi Matsuda dealing with Augmented Reality and UI.

This one is about the interfaces in the work world and the city or further environment.
