| Well-vetted 33 is online Gillian Carson - 09 May 2005 9:35am The usual assortment of fine links from designers and sites around the world compiled by the Well-Vetted crew. http://www.wellvetted.com/ |
| The Khronos Projector Computer Arts - Jim - 06 May 2005 10:05am Okay, it's a projector that, like, enables you to push bits of the image back and forth in time. The whole concept makes our primitive ape brains throb slightly, but how can you not love something with a built-in spatio-temporal fusion algorithm? Exactly. |
| Semi-Permanent London Gillian Carson - 05 May 2005 5:58pm The travelling design show that is Semi-Permanent comes to London with the likes of Surface to Air and Twin in tow.

| Yahoo Video Search Computer Arts - Jim - 05 May 2005 1:01pm There's more to net searching than Google - its beta video search isn't really a lot of use so far, but Yahoo's stormed ahead with a video search that actually returns videos as matches. http://video.search.yahoo.com/ |
| Glitch Art Computer Arts - Jim - 05 May 2005 1:00pm Glitch aesthetics. Digital corruption. Data visualization. Glitch VJ. High-density linear artworks. Making good use of the sort of thing that'd have most of us thumping the telly, in other words. http://www.beflix.com/index.html |
| Google Web Accelerator Computer Arts - Jim - 05 May 2005 10:16am Broadband not fast enough for you? Wouldn't you just know it, Google has a solution. Its beta Web Accelerator for Windows speeds up your browsing through a cunning mix of caches, compression, prefetching and probably black magic. And it seems to double up as an anonymous proxy, if you like that sort of thing. http://webaccelerator.google.com/ |
| Jonas Bergstrand Computer Arts - Jim - 04 May 2005 10:45am Neat online portfolio featuring illustration, logos and animation in a style somewhere between Saul Bass, Heath Robinson and 1960s public information films. Nice combination. http://www.jonasbergstrand.com/ |
| Time Traveller Convention Computer Arts - Jim - 03 May 2005 11:30am This Saturday at the East Campus Courtyard at MIT, and they're hoping that plenty of time travellers from the future will show up. If you can't make it, don't worry - if time travel's invented in your own lifetime then you can always go back at a later date. We'd go, but it'd mean missing Doctor Who. http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/ |
| WEEE Man Computer Arts - Jim - 29 Apr 2005 4:27pm Unveiled today on the South Bank, the WEEE Man, designed by Paul Bonomini, is a three tonne, seven-meter-tall humanoid sculpture made out of electronic junk to represent the amount of electrical equipment the average person disposes of in a lifetime. http://www.weeeman.org/ |
| Irish Charm... Computer Arts - Rob - 29 Apr 2005 11:05am If you ever want to find one of those sites that are original, in style, and approach, have a look at this site, visual on the eye, it also boasts a great range of work, t-shirts, logos and fonts for the designer. A great source of inspiration, and a well illustrated website, that is a visual feast. http://www.shamrocking.com |
| QuickTime 7 Computer Arts - Jim - 29 Apr 2005 10:02am Tiger's out later today, but QuickTime 7's available right now. At least, for Mac OS X - Windows users can take solace in the fact that it's 'coming soon'. Get it through Software Update or just head to Apple to grab it. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ |
| The Collector Gillian Carson - 28 Apr 2005 5:16pm A butterfly collector strives to catch the most beautiful butterfly in the world in this short 3D animation film. http://www.thebutterflyfilm.co.uk/640x480.html |

| Phone Sculpture anyone? Gillian Carson - 28 Apr 2005 1:11pm In Russia it seems they're fed up with all this new-fangled technology. They want to go back to the good old days when mobile phones were made of proper material, like wood! http://www.fenixart.ru/archiv/05/tele0104/index.htm |
| Another little bit of politics Computer Arts - Jim - 28 Apr 2005 11:53am Inspired by Shaggy and the sort of web toons you usually get from the likes of Joel Veitch, this had us chuckling. http://www.viralgods.com/clips/wasntme/ |
| Hey Mambo! Computer Arts - Amy - 27 Apr 2005 12:44pm Take a look at this short animated film from Reyes del Mambo, which kicks off with a great Saul Bass inspired intro. Pretty impressive graffiti work, too… http://www.reyesdelmambo.com/ |

| 80s commercials Computer Arts - Jo - 26 Apr 2005 3:57pm If you used to wear mismatched luminous socks, drank quatro and envied the hair of pop star Limahl, you might remember some of these adverts http://x-entertainment.com/downloads/ |
| A little bit of politics Computer Arts - Jim - 26 Apr 2005 3:35pm What if the three big parties could say what they really thought in their election broadcasts? Channel 4 commissioned Lee and Dan, the guerrilla film-makers behind that recent spoof Volkswagen ad, to do it for them. The results are quite splendid - see. |
| Brightridge 360 Computer Arts - Jim - 26 Apr 2005 11:25am Edward Huff takes 360º panographic photos and puts them on his site as Quicktime VR images. It's definitely a more interesting way of looking at someone else's snaps than boring old 2D. http://www.brightridge.com/360.html |
| The illustrated Gravity's Rainbow Computer Arts - Jim - 26 Apr 2005 10:55am Zak Smith has created an illustration for every page of Thomas Pynchon's 'Gravity's Rainbow'. No-one asked him to do it, but he did it anyway. That's either completely mad or completely brilliant. Or both. Makes us wish we had a copy of the book, really. Link. |
| I Like Your Colours Computer Arts - Jim - 26 Apr 2005 9:58am Actually it's called 'I Like Your Colors', but it'll be a cold day in Hell before I submit to Americanised spelling. Give this page the URL of a site whose colours you like the look of and it'll strip them all into a nice list, complete with hex codes. http://www.redalt.com/Tools/ilyc.php |
| Draw a pig Computer Arts - Jim - 25 Apr 2005 3:03pm We've always found that you can tell a lot about someone's personality by observing what they're like. What we didn't know is that you can also tell a lot about someone's personality by how they draw a pig. Or at least, this site says it can. We're too scared to hit Submit. Let us know how you get on. http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/index.asp |
| Nest Lab Computer Arts - Jim - 25 Apr 2005 2:21pm If there's one thing that helps us get through a damp Monday, it's finding a collection of offbeat Shockwave applets to play with. That's today sorted, then. http://www.storynest.com/Nest_Lab/index.htm |
| Adobe/Macromedia announcement - translated! Computer Arts - Jim - 22 Apr 2005 3:50pm If words like 'synergy' make you want to stab people but you want to understand the Adobe/Macromedia merger, what do you do? Previously you'd simply have had to stab people, but not any more! Someone's translated the salient chunks of PR babble into plain English, so put the knives away! http://daringfireball.net/2005/04/adobe_translation |
| Slow Wave Computer Arts - Jim - 22 Apr 2005 3:25pm People from all over the world send Jesse Reklaw their dreams and he turns them into comic strips. Send in your own dreams and see your psyche laid bare on the internet. http://www.slowwave.com/ |
| Palette Generator Computer Arts - Jim - 22 Apr 2005 12:43pm Simple but effective - feed this page an image (or use one of the images already uploaded) and it'll generate a palette for you in a choice of three sizes. Link. |
| Cube Computer Arts - Jim - 21 Apr 2005 5:28pm Wonderfully maddening block-sliding puzzle game. Click and hold the cubes to choose your direction, then let go to slide them onto the numbered tiles. It'll make sense once you start playing. http://www.zeronews-fr.com/flash/cube.php |
| myMondrian Computer Arts - Jim - 21 Apr 2005 11:21am Feed this page a few basic facts about yourself and it'll automagically create your very own Mondrianesque picture from the data. http://rhizome.org/artbase/24114/myData/ |
| A Question of Sport? Computer Arts - Amy - 20 Apr 2005 3:52pm Been wondering what's new in Greek design? Well why not check out one of Athens-based designer Onyro's latest projects for EMI/FischerSpooner. "It looks like A Question of Sport," said one of the CA Projects team. Umm. See what you mean! Kind of like it though. Link |
| Pianographique Computer Arts - Jim - 20 Apr 2005 11:14am Keyboard-driven audio-visual jamming toy with plenty of effects to play around with. A bit like being trapped in a tiny art-house cinema with Squarepusher and Tomato, and none the worse for that. http://www.pianographique.net/jam/aelaunch_uk.html |
| New Sci-Fi channel idents Computer Arts - Garrick - 19 Apr 2005 4:59pm Check out these cool Sci-Fi Channel idents by Gray Matter FX. |

| Google Maps now UK-flavoured Computer Arts - Jim - 19 Apr 2005 11:37am Lovely - a great big scrollable, zoomable map of the UK. We can't wait until they add satellite imagery like the big US version has. http://maps.google.co.uk/ |
Quicktime 7
QuickTime updates don’t usually get us that excited. But the inclusion of the H.264 codec in QuickTime 7 has us drooling as it’s the one the PSP uses for movies. Stick your showreel on a big memory card and put it on a PSP – that’s progress!
Canon EOS 350D
Canon’s pro-am SLR gets even better, now with an 8 megapixel sensor and new features previously only found on much more expensive models, including three focus modes, monochrome mode and faster memory card writing.
Annoying Apple
Jobs and co have sparked ire for getting heavy-handed with a student who put the latest OSX update online, so much so that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has spoken out and offered him $1,000 towards his defence.

Loonatics
“Hey, let’s take the Looney Toons characters and re-imagine them as angular, edgy superhero types in the year 2772 for today’s teen demographic!” No, really, we’re sure it’ll be at least as wonderful as Scrappy Doo.
