LED Tattoos
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are working on devices constructed from silicon and silk which have the ability to carry light emitting diodes (LEDs). Devices like these have already been successfully implanted into mice, meaning we may not be that far removed from seeing tattoos that can move and turn your skin into a screen.
The silicon-LED chips are mounted onto silk and implanted into your skin. The silk eventually dissolves. The chips are about the length of a grain of rice and only 250 nanometers thick. After the addition of saline solution, the silicon chips will mold to the shape of your skin.
Similar devices, specifically Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID) can be injected into peoples’ pets in case they run away. The only difference is that the devices we’re talking about can move elastically throughout the body.
Currently these silk-silicon-LED devices are being used within the medical community to function as blood-sugar sensors and neurodevices for example, to control prosthetics.
We see endless possibilities for this technology, but some ideas that come to mind include: GPS road maps on the back of your hand, scrolling marquee advertisements on the bodies of attractive persons, instead of sunglasses, microchips on your eyeballs that darken based on the brightness of the sun, the possibilities truly are endless.
Philips has its own ideas…

Shadow Art
To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images. - Plato, The Republic
Shadow art is a unique form of sculptural art where the 2D shadows cast by a 3D sculpture are essential for the artistic effect. We introduce computational tools for the creation of shadow art and propose a design process where the user can directly specify the desired shadows by providing a set of binary images and corresponding projection information. Since multiple shadow images often contradict each other, we present a geometric optimization that computes a 3D shadow volume whose shadows best approximate the provided input images. Our analysis shows that this optimization is essential for obtaining physically realizable 3D sculptures. The resulting shadow volume can then be modified with a set of interactive editing tools that automatically respect the often intricate shadow constraints. We demonstrate the potential of our system with a number of complex 3D shadow art sculptures that go beyond what is seen in contemporary art pieces.

Hopenhagen | It's Your Choice!
Hopenhagen is a movement, a moment and a chance at a new beginning. The hope that in Copenhagen this December – during the United Nations Climate Change Conference – we can build a better future for our planet and a more sustainable way of life. It is the hope that we can create a global community that will lead our leaders into making the right decisions. The promise that by solving our environmental crisis, we can solve our economic crisis at the same time.
Hopenhagen is change – and that change will be powered by all of us.

Flensburger Kurzfilmtage 2009 (Trailer)
Flensburger Kurzfilmtage 2009 (Trailer) from Pepe Lange on Vimeo.
This is the trailer for the upcoming 9th shortfilmfestival "Flensburger Kurzfilmtage / Tricky" in Flensburg / northern Germany. Filmed in one day on a canon 5D together with Joachim Freitag.
/// Task
Flensburg is a mid-to-small-size town in the north of Germany, situated around a fjord, next to the baltic sea and the border to Danmark.
If you live here, especially as a teenager or young adult, you will probably like it - but you will not think it is cool. So we thought that it could be nice for the people coming to the festival to experience Flensburg in a new way - to make Flensburg look kind of urban, rotten, strange and cool - but still Flensburg.
