ITP Spring Show 2006
Last week’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) 2006 Spring Show was the overwhelming hive of creativity we’ve come to expect from the school. A chance for the student artists of ITP to introduce their ideas and projects to the public, the exhibition showcases a range of futuristic concepts to a capacity crowd. In this episode—the second time Cool Hunting Video has covered the event—we take a close look at a virtual pop-up book, a drawing machine, sculpture inspired by sunlight, and an orchestra made of zippers.

tokidoki + LeSportsac.

tokidoki, the brand started by Italian artist Simone Legno and his partners, Pooneh Mohajer Arnold and Ivan Arnold, is a study in contrasts. Roman born Legno is both fascinated and charmed by Japanese culture, so the name tokidoki, which means “sometimes” in Japanese, was chosen because “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny. tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy everyone has inside.” Laughing flowers, winking stars, coy babies, sultry ingénues, rainbows, and children, among many other unique and incredible artistic visions, populate the world of tokidoki. The Japanese-inspired designs of tokidoki are rich with duality. Simone has been called the Italian Murakami and tokidoki designs are provocative yet pure… cute and playful, sexy and sophisticated. The world is invited to share in the web-based world of tokidoki via interactive games that bring all ages into this amazing world of play.

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.
