50 Manga Chairs

Nendo mit einer kurzweiligen Darstellung von 50 verschiedenen Stuhl-Designs, animiert im Manga Stil.

„50 manga chairs is the result of adapting the strong symbolic nature of manga comics to furniture design.
„Manga consists of a series of frames on a single sheet of paper that creates a sequence. Similarly, 50 standard chairs are lined up in a grid, each one conjures up a sense of story, and each with a design element from manga. For example, a ’speech bubble‘ or ‚effect line‘ are added to visualize sound or action. Or emotional symbols from manga, like ’sweat‘ or ‚tears‘, are formed so that a sense of story and character can be felt.
„Manga is a means of expression with a high degree of flatness and abstraction, and which is composed of a series of lines. We could say that manga comics are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, since they can be traced back to Ukiyoe prints developed during the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.).“

40 Jahre alte Polaroidkamera macht Fotos, während sie auf einer Drohne herumfliegt

Clark Lupton hat eine Polaroid Sun 600 von 1984 an seine Drohne montiert, mit einer Fernbedienung ausgestattet und mit dieser Verbindung aus alt und neu Fotos aus der Luft gemacht. Ich mag die Idee – und Polaroid Optik sowieso.

1984 Polaroid Sun 600 gets airborne for the first time in 40 years…I rigged the drone with a 6KG servo to click the shutter button.

Boston Dynamics sagt „Mach’s gut, Atlas“ – und stellt einen neuen vor

Bei Boston Dynamics verabschiedet man sich vom uns über die Jahre gut unterhaltendem Atlas mit einem „Best of“ Video.

For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date.

Ein durch KI generierter Song im Stile Depeche Modes

Andrea Fryer halt als langjähriger Fan von Depeche Mode die Audio-KI Udio gebeten, einen Song im Stil von Depeche Mode zu generieren und das Ergebnis haut mich doch ziemlich aus den Schuhen. Das ist krass.

Disclaimer: I mean absolutely no disrespect to Depeche Mode or DM fans. I’ve been a huge fan of the band since the 80’s – have all their albums as vinyls and cds, seen them in concert many times etc. I simply wanted to share the results of what Udio can do because I find AI fascinating. It goes without saying that – nothing – can replace the original band and their talent. Not even AI.

EXTRA INFO:
Since I’ve had a lot of questions, here is some additional info:

a. The prompt I used was „Depeche Mode“. Udio replaced it with the following 6 prompts for the parts needed to create this song:
1. Male vocalist, Electronic, Synthpop, Rock, Alternative rock, Dark, Rhythmic, Melodic, Atmospheric, Nocturnal, Alternative dance, Mechanical, Passionate, Cold, Longing, Sombre
2. Ditto
3. Ditto
4. Instrumental, Instrumental, Electronic, Synthpop, Rock, Alternative rock, Dark, Rhythmic, Melodic, Atmospheric, Nocturnal, Alternative dance, Mechanical, Passionate, Cold, Longing, Sombre
5. Instrumental, Instrumental, Instrumental, Electronic, Synthpop, Rock, Alternative rock, Dark, Rhythmic, Melodic, Atmospheric, Nocturnal, Alternative dance, Mechanical, Passionate, Cold, Longing, Sombre
6. Instrumental, Instrumental, Instrumental, Instrumental, Electronic, Synthpop, Rock, Alternative rock, Dark, Rhythmic, Melodic, Atmospheric, Nocturnal, Alternative dance

b. Lyrics were auto-generated by Udio. They’re kind of corny and instantly recognizable as AI lyrics, however for the purpose of an experiment, it’s kind of cool to document this moment in history before they become more sophisticated.
