Paul Octavious captures the Ann Hamiltons: the event of a thread art installation created inside the Park Avenue Armory. Featuring 42 large wood swings moving a massive curtain, flocks of homing pigeons, 42 radios in paper bags, and tables for people to broadcast snippets of text to those radios the event of a thread was probably something better experienced than watched, but Paul’s video beautifully captures some of the visual experience of the installation.

Designed by the media artist group J o n p a s a n g, the Hyper-Matrix combines hundreds of controllable surfaces to create an impressive effect for Hyundai Motor Group’s 2012 Yeosu EXPO. Watching the making of video, I can’t begin to image how much this wall cost to build and manufacture.

The Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media in southern Japan is featuring a new “particles” art installtion by Daito Manabe and Motoi Ishibashi. To create the illumnated particles in three-dimensional space they crafted a rollercoster-like rail structure that carries hundreds of balls with build-in LEDs. As the balls travel down the rails they are programmed to blink at specific time intervals to create the floating shapes. Plus, visitors to the installation can control and manipulate the particles with a touch display.
Creative Applications Network has a great post that gets into the technical details behind how the installation work using openFrameworks and Arduino.
