TimeHue is a clock that represents time as a series of hue values ranging from 0° to 360° within in the HSL color space.  + info 

« Photo/Nykto » is an experimental game conceived by Annelore Schneider and Douglas Edric Stanley as part of the « Unterplay » project at the Master Media Design —HEAD, Genève. It is a game for nyktophobes and photophobes. It is played by switching on and off the lights in order to avoid reaching the edge of the screen. The score increases exponentially near the edges, and speeds up with each change from light to dark and back.  + info 

Inspired by the Ludovico Treatment for moral reform, Nyan Cat Therapy uses a camera-enabled Macintosh to fully couple the human gaze to the rainbow-riding Nyan Cat. In order to maximize the full effect, subjects are required to download, decompress and exectute the accompagnying application and position themselves face-forward before their computer. Upon detection of a sustained human gaze, the Nyan Cat Therapy software will activate the enigmatic cat.  + info 

Traks is a combinatorial sound toy. Mixing model railroads and 1960's minimalist composition, Traks allows players to build up circular networks of bifurcating rails that branch out into both simple and complex combinations of musical possibility. By placing notes, “tranes”, and semaphores into this ludic rail yard, a modular melody emerges, otherwise known as algorithmic music.  + info 

In Scolu one discovers a virtual and interactive aquarium – also a multi-tactile interface – inhabited by aquatic creatures created by Leïla Jaquet in collaboration with Stanislas Bernatt (HEAD–Geneva/Media Design). By placing their iPhone on the interface, visitors see the behaviour of the creatures alter: when one of these creatures enters an iPhone, the visitor can take it with them and then give or exchange it. The experience is therefore intended to continue and to spread beyond the walls of the exhibition.  + info 

The idea is simple: a two-player game, based on the uber-referenced Pong, here played with 8-bit controllers. When we say « 8-bit controller », we mean literally 8-bit, i.e. 8 buttons, each representing 1-bit of data. Collected together, this byte represents a 256 value variable which is used to control a visual paddle representation within the game. To aid players in the conversion of 1-bit discrete switches into their collective base-two 8-bit value, each button has been labelled: 2^n, i.e. two to the power of zero, two to the power of one, two to the power of two, and so on. This is otherwise known to mere mortals as the values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. To move your paddle, you must add each of these values together in order to position it somewhere between position 0 and position 255.  + info 

Pinguino is an electronic hardware prototyping platform, loosely based on the Arduino architecture, using PIC microcontrollers with integrated USB. The Pinguino Processing Library allows for communication between this low-cost hardware platform, and the popular visual prototyping language for artists and designers, Processing.  + info

OpenCV For Processing is an open-source library for integrating basic computer vision analysis and tracking within the Processing environment. It simplifies access to the powerful OpenCV library and offers a Java/JNI wrapper for artists, designers and multimedia developers looking to integrate OpenCV into their project.  + info 

What better way to defer the New Year than to send a message using the abstractmachine:crypt? To use the service, simply enter the target email and your message. The abstractmachine server will encrypt your message for some random period between 1 and 365 days, after which it will decrypt the message and send it to the email address you indicated. This encryption device can also be considered a temporally deferred postal delivery device. It can be used for new year's resolutions, unreliable loved ones, or perhaps some horribly bad news that you just cannot bring upon yourself to deliver. Deferral can offer the necessary distance to make all of the above easier to manage.  + info 

³, a.k.a. ^3, a.k.a. ‘cubed’ is a musical sequencer integrated into a Rubik's Cube®. Each face of the cube uses a different instrument to play notes generated according to the colors on that face. Each face is played in a loop, as if it were a single “track” on a basic electronic music sequencer. Therefore by manipulating the colors on the cube, users generate different sound algorithms within the sequencer.  + info 

“The Signal” is a unique audiovisual narrative, designed specifically for the Abstract Machine Hypertable. It maps the mysterious chain of infections that led to a poorly documented telepathic virus that spread throughout the United States of America in a historical period not so far removed from our own. Traces of this virus have been found in the strangest of milieu : in communications technologies, via teenager rituals, in mass media and advertising, through irrigation systems, in sound recordings, in political propaganda and urban myth paranoia, in sociological experiments, etc. “The Signal” charts the virus' growth across the map of the United States, allowing the Hypertable to transform itself into a sort of war map, overlooking the spread of the contagion.  + info
