"The Free Culture Game is a game about the struggle between free culture and copyright. Create and defend the common knowledge from the vectorial class. Liberate the passive consumers from the domain of the market."

"Paul Chojecki of Berlin's Fraunhofer Institute has reduced communication between man and computer to a touch-free science with the iPoint Presenter. All you need is a pair of hands — no special gloves or sensory equipment — which the computer tracks using the iPoint's cameras. Simple physical gestures (made by one person or multiple people) move virtual objects, press buttons, and change the size of on-screen images, suggesting exciting possibilities for video-game developers and disabled users, among others. "What is special about it is that the human-computer communication is entirely contact-free," says Chojecki. "The system is therefore ideal for scenarios in which contact between the user and the computer is not allowed or not possible.""

I want one of those :)

"Mower is a cartoony Styrofoam robot sheep that can roam large public lawns with shears in its mouth and rangefinders in its eyes, clipping the grass and avoiding obstacles. But this is no John Deere Graze-o-matic: it's art. Its creator, Osman Khan, references a classic Philip K. Dick sci-fi story (the basis for the movie Blade Runner) to make an object that juxtaposes animal and machine. Do androids dream of electric sheep? Maybe, if they're as fun to watch as "Moe.""

"The official video for Spiralling by Keane, from the album Perfect Symmetry."

Not only the song sound like 1980's, the video aesthetics reminds me the videos of that decade
