Pleo is an autonomous robotic life form modeled on a one-week-old Camarasaurus dinosaur. Pleo is designed to mimic life which means Pleo thinks and acts independently, just like a real animal.  Every Pleo is unique. Yes, each one begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, but that's where predictability ends and individuality begins. Pleo doesn't just do what he's told. He develops his own personality, moods, and habits—all shaped by the time he spends with you. In creating this Life Form, we merely set the wheels in motion. Making the magic is up to you and Pleo. |
Bicycles as Art - Hard Metal Design - Josh Hadar. They start as rough shapes in my mind and eventually evolve into fully developed concepts, much of the time without ever making it to the sketching stage. I envision the design of the bikes in their entirety and then go about deciphering building techniques that will bring the specific details to life. In essence, it’s creative problem solving and when a new technical solution works while enhancing the look of the piece, an overwhelming sensation of aesthetic balance and adrenaline is the result. |
Project " FOOTPRINTS ALONG A COASTLINE "
WaddenSeaFestival, Denmark, August 2008
10 artists work along a part of the coastline in Denmark with materials provided by nature
Foundation Wadden Art organises in the Wadden Sea Festival Denmark 2008 the project Footprints along a coastline. Ten artists will walk and work along the Wadden Coast near marbaek Strand and Blaavand Lighthouse from 16 to 24 august. They work with the materials brought in by the tidal waters, with the water and the other elements. The selection is open for artists from all over the world. You will find detailed information in the site: www.waddenart.eu/footprints
Foundation WaddenArt realises a network of artists, involved with landart and installationart, and 'Footprints' is a project in which discussion and exchange on international level is an important issue. The website is updated recently and contents will be changing regularly. The site serves as a platform as well. A few entries are visible in the site, more are on their way, and the contents of the site open issues about artdevelopments, landart and ecology. If you like to contribute in these discussions, you are most welcome.
'Footprints' will exhibit its results in various locations in the Wadden as well as in various places in Europe.
Artist's entries will be visible in the website, give an impression and feed the discussion.
