Food for thought. And drink for art.




Hannes Broecker has brilliantly invited the cultural elite to grab a glass at an exhibition in Dresden, Germany, and drink away the art. Broecker has aroused our sense of taste (not to mention eliminated the need of elbowing our way to the bar) by hanging flat, glass containers with a variety of cocktails in the exhibition space. As the night progressed, the levels of the multi-coloured infusions diminished. By the end of the event, the art, itself, ran dry, and empty drinking glasses were returned to where they were originally placed.

Reality further augmented



What does your business card say about you?

AR Business Card from James Alliban on Vimeo.



Everything. Provided you know a thing of two (er..actually a whole lot more) about Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality or AR, as it's more fondly known in the cyber circles, is where computer generated data (images, voice, graphics) are embedded into reality. But you can only see the data through the Cyclopian eye of your webcam. A close cousin of AR is Quick Respose or QR codes (ah, am already sounding less of an Ignoramus). Just that the eye is that of your mobile phone. Simply put, what you get is a lot more than what you see.
