Here's a close up view of the ice cream van and the scenery going past it on Nikki's box of wonder at the Interactive sculpture exhibition in Ashfield Mall.
Nikki built a box that did amazing things for the interactive sculpture workshop run by Ian Burns http://www.ianburns.net and exhibited at Ashfield Mall. Nikki's box emitted a stream of bubbles while the scenery of Sydney rolled past a toy ice cream van. She has a peep-hole that revealed a miniature celebrity disco, and a marble run that opened a draw to reveal a fortune card. There's even a water feature on the side.
Neil built a group of things from another world for the interactive sculpture workshop run by Ian Burns http://www.ianburns.net and exhibited at Ashfield Mall.The aliens sensed a shadow from the wands and then vibrated around the table

download mp4Angela's wheely bin, complete with "Ashfield council" label, reacts to people as they approach it. It either moves towards them or away. Angela's "bin bomb" was part of the Interactive sculpture exhibition at Ashfield mall. Angela completed a 6 week workshop with artist in residence Ian Burns. http://ianburns.net
Her bin is powered by a remote control car, which is driven by a $6 CPU programmed in BASIC, reading light dependent resistors to detect the shadow of approaching people.

Last week I visited Dorkbot Sydney at their Serial Space headquarters in Chipendale to see people doing strange things with electricity. Dorkbot has branches in cities all over the world. Technological artist Fred Rodrigues has created a musical instrument out of power tools, computer and an electronic keyboard.
I spoke with Fred Rodrigues at the Dorkbot meeting and recorded some of his demonstration and performance.
Fred's recent projects include sims-interactive.com, heavymetalworkorchestra.com, and anyplaceprojects.com, as well as some electronic engineering work on both incarnations of dj smallcocks vinyl arcade. Fred Rodrigues is also a director of serialspace.org
