Details on the complete build are available here.

Just found this through a friend and thought it was pretty amazing. The music reminds me of Jean-Michel Jarre – Oxygene. If anyone knows what it is, I’d love to know.

This was done using a technique called ‘projection mapping’. The real world geometry of the boxes in the video is modeled in 3D software and that model is used to create a 3D animation that is then projected onto the real boxes.

This is from a series of musician portraits titled “Ghost in the Machine”, by Georgia based artist Erika Iris Simmons, created from recycled cassette tapes. You can view the entire series, and the rest of her portfolio, on flickr.

Thanks to Brian for sending this over.

This design by Scott Hansen, a San Francisco based musician (Tycho) and artist (ISO50), is for the Artists for Obama campaign efforts.

I’m pretty excited about being able to support both an artist and presidential candidate that I like at the same time.
