FlipBooKit - Mechanical Flipbook Art and Kit by shinymind
A NEW (old fashioned) Art Format Flipbookit.net is from kinetic artists, Mark Rosen and Wendy Marvel. They create moving art that tells stories and tickles our sense of nostalgia. In late 2011, their series of motorized flipbooks based on the motion studies of Edweard Muybridge began touring with galleries, art shows and at special events internationally. MAKE magazine is featuring the artists in their January issue and a few of the boxes were on display at Maker Fair 2012 (you can see the original flipbooks at www.mechanicalflipbook.com)

JamesMulholland-Project4-reGenerativeCityscape The reGenerative Cityscape grows an abstract group of buildings gradually and continuously meanwhile fading older buildings into the backdrop. The characteristics are based off of three primitive building structures while the dimensions of each building vary randomly. Suicidator (for Blender): a considerably more complex 3D generative city. A project like Suicidator could be the end goal of something like what I created in this project. Dark City:I drew basis of the concept from this film which depicts a small city that changes and moves based on the whims of a peculiar alien race.

Scribbled Wire Sculptures Mysteriously Appear to Float
Sculptor David Oliveira wrote to us to tell us about his very interesting wire sculptures. At first glance, it seems as though someone has just scribbled ink drawings on top of existing photos. In reality, the Lisbon-born artist who has a degree in Sculpture and a Masters in Artistic Anatomy from the Lisbon Faculty of Fine Arts, twists and turns wire until he creates figures and objects. How does his background play into his work? "For me, to be able to 'draw' I must know and understand the object," he tells us.

One man, 100,000 toothpicks, and 35 years: An incredible kinetic sculpture of San Francisco
Thirty five years ago I had yet to be born, but artist Scott Weaver had already begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay, that he continues to modify and expand even today. The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple “tours” that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he’s constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he’s spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world: I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building.
