Art Tuesdays – Interactive Installation Detects Light to Open/Close

CAMF81M7

Designed by Berlin interactive artists Gunnar Green and Frederic Eyl, Aperture includes dozens of tiny aperture holes that (with a slight delay) open if there is no light and closes if there is. The result is the silhouette of passersby.

We are good for everything

We are very happy that our work takes part in the ongoing success of other companies ;-) Ever so often we recognize our designs in the press. Be it awards or regular print ads that come across our ways where we keep thinking – hm, something looks familiar… Anyways, I guess it´s time to start our own PR motor from now on so that finally our name gets associated with the brilliant styles and designs that you might see around you every day ;-) Await big things to happen!

Here some examples:

With this roadshow they also won the Ex Award 2009 Gold, USA. http://www.thecompanies.de/3_Referenzen+Presse/Kunden/Kunde_19_Rodenstock/kunde_rodenstock.html And guess who created the content for that???

And here is another one. Notice something???

3D Texture In Real Life?

I don’t know if this guy was a graphics developer, but he knows how to use some 3D techniques like 3D textures. Xia Xiaowan is a chinese painter that paints in 3D using layers of glass. So if you need an overview of what 3D texture look like, Xia Xiaowan did it!

MARS 295: Dual GeForce GTX 285 With 4GB of Graphics Memory

asus-mars-295-video-card

ASUS will release a new graphics card made with two G200-350-B3 GPUs. This GPU is one that is behind the GeForce GTX 285. ASUS new card will be called MARS 295 Limited Edition and will be an official GTX 295 (same device ID): asus-mars-295-gpu-z

Each MARS 295 GPU will have access to 2Gb of graphics memory (512-bit GDDR3) giving us a total of 4GB. And here is what happens when a hardcore overclocker (kinc) can touch the ASUS 295:
