Bruce Shapiro: "Pipedream III", Ontario Science Centre, Toronto, 2006

 

Bruce Shapiro is one of the world's pioneers in DIY computer controlled kinetics. For over a decade, the California-based tinkerer has been designing software to automate a range of machines—from a stratograph, which makes highly-detailed sand art (pictured), to a series called "Sisyphus" that creates intricate mandalas in sand using a ball bearing and a tilt table. Check it out after the jump, along with an image from Shapiro's "Pipedream III," a hi-res bubble raster or embolograph that's capable of reproducing faces.

Shawn Lani: "Icy Bodies"

swirls art and science in this mesmerising installation. Shards of frozen dry ice sublimate as they are released into a satisfyingly large and dark basin. The gas then propels them, leaving little wakes at they snake about. It's like watching from a plane lots of crewless boats with their engines left on randomly exploring the moonlit night ocean.

Monika Sosnowska: "Stairway" | Art Installations, Sculpture | Scoop.it

Monika Sosnowska’s architectural installation  "Stairway" at K21 in Dusseldorf, 2010


Monika Sosnowska's works are in continuous dialogue with modernism: with its utopian ideology as well as with the social and political ambitions it became a sign for. Her particular focus is Constructivism, which turned its gaze to architecture as the field that pioneered technological progress.

"Wind-Arrows", outdoor works exhibition at Fort Mason. A sculpture stretching 35 feet in height, it is intended to show just how different the wind can be at varying heights. The wind goes in different directions at different altitudes.

 

The Outdoor Exploratorium at Fort Mason was created by the Exploratorium in partnership with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Fort Mason Center. These interactive exhibits were designed to help visitors notice and investigate the subtle phenomena of the everyday world and explore the complex systems at play in outdoor environments. Fort Mason offers a unique location for observing the movement of wind and waves, the interplay of light, shadow, and temperature, and the interaction between natural and built environments.

 

The Exploritorium, San Francisco, opened in 1969, was America's first hands-on science museum. It was founded by physicist and educator Frank Oppenheimer, brother of atomic bomb developer, J. Robert Oppenheimer. The "museum of science, art and human perception" features over 650 exhibits based on interactive participation. Housed in a giant half-moon-shaped structure behind the Palace of Fine Arts these exhibits feature engaging examinations of physics, electricity, life sciences, thermodynamics, weather, light, psychology, linguistics and sense perception.

Paul Friedlander: "Art Futura XXI"

Paul Friedlander: "Art Futura XXI" | Art Installations, Sculpture | Scoop.it

Paul Friedlander: "Art Futura XXI", Bilbao, Spain, 2011- Alhondiga Bilbao

Interactive light sculpture: visitors select images of earlier Friedlander's artworks using a touch screen. The images are digitally processed in real time using custom software to create a pallete of colours in the new light sculpture. Below the light sculpture is the touch screen used for interactive control.

 The sculpture is an example of the use of artist's invention chromastrobic light, light that changes colour faster than the eye can see. The sculpture is in fact lit by only one colour at each instant but appears to be multi-coloured. These photos faithfully show how it looks to the human eye.
