Smart little hack from Stink. The dashboard reporting site of their activity is actually the nicest part, but it doesn’t really feature in the video. Check it out!
ZeroN - Levitated interactive element
ZeroN is a physical and digital interaction element that floats and moves in space by computer-controlled magnetic levitation, from MIT-research labs.

Plinko Poetry
This installation uses Python and Processing to scrape and display alternate scrolling lines of tweets from the New York Times and Fox News. When a user drops a chip, it randomly hits pegs on the way down. The word under each peg that is hit is highlighted, with the untouched pegs automatically darkened. Plinko Poetry uses openFrameworks camera color tracking to determine which pegs have been encountered.
When the chip comes to a stop, the user is left with a trail of blackout poetry which is then live tweeted to @PlinkoPoetry. Nice!
Lightplot - Robotic Light Painting
This animation is shot entirely in-camera; the figure having been animated in 3DS Max and then plotted by custom built home-made 3D light painting system.
Really interesting making of article here.
NCDV - Drag Him Away Interactive Billboard
Users can either enter the web address http://www.ncdv.org.uk/stop or scan on the featured QR code to start interacting with the billboard. The participant is able to control the characters by dragging the man away from the woman and onto on that adjacent billboards. Nice use of a multi-screen space.
E-Mart - Shadow QR Code
Sun-activated QR code that offers deals between the hour of 12pm and 1pm only. Creative.
Patterned by nature - LCD Sculpture
This is absolutely beautiful. The 90’x10’ “ribbon” winds through the five story atrium of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and is made of 3600 tiles of LCD glass. It runs on roughly 75 watts; less power than a laptop computer, and the animations are created by independently varying the transparency of each glass pane.
The animations cycle through twenty themes, which range from clouds and rain drops, to colonies of bacteria. The animations were created through a combination of algorithmic software modeling of natural phenomena and compositing of actual footage, and the whole thing runs to a well-crafted backing track. Such a great example of the importance of sound and visual working together in design.
Agency Republic - Change the tune
Cute little self-promotional piece.
Lovely use of tech. High Definition cameras are installed in the “fashion capitals” of Europe (Milan, Paris, Antwerp…..but not London strangely?!?) tracking passers by and feeding colour data back in real-time. The cameras are connected to Mac Mini’s with color tracking software to log and trend colours based on profiling.
McDonalds - Train Timetable
Great spot by Maccys to contextualise waiting times with items that can be ordered and scoffed at the in-station restaurant. The board dynamically updates based on train times and delays, and the average queue waiting time in the restaurant itself.
Awesome concept pop-up cafe to promote World Design Capital 2012 in Helsinki. Users could log on to the Kauko website via computer or app and control things like table and chair heights in real-time.
McDonalds - Come as you are
Nice interactive installation by Maccy’s in Paris.
Bonnier Properties - Nice to meet you
Simple idea to improve an eyesore. I would have stopped short of making it socially connected though. Seems to have pushed it over the edge from cute installation to gimmicky nonsense…
Nice physical object oriented projection mapping installation. Great sentence.
Mercedes - Key to Viano
Undergound billboards activated by car key signals. Clever shit.
