Tree_Goats_02

These Moroccan goats you see in the photos climb the Argan trees with incredible ease, in order to get to the delicious fruits that the locals use to make oil. I knew some things about goats, but the fact that they climb trees was not one of them. And before you start yelling “It’s photoshopped!” check out the video at the bottom.

bmw_art_com_museum_germany_wired

The renovated BMW Museum in Munich, Germany, offers one of the largest spaces for focused car-design ogling, and is as large (5000 square meters) an expression of the company’s outsized engineering expectations as it is an interesting new space for art. The latter label comes mostly from the mechatronic piece by ART+COM called the Kinetic structure, an awesome installation project made out of moving, sliver spheres.

ART+COM is a media development company that creates high tech installations, and they take an abstract approach with their concept —- depicting the design of a car and its eventual relationship with the elements through real-style ‘animations.’

From the looks of the videos, they’ve succeeded- the illustration of each silver sphere according to a point in space is so precise that if the clip is fast forwarded, it will resemble the real movements of a half-car moving. It also reminds us of the motion capture process of modern movies, but in reverse — the motion before the capture, if you will.

The structure is made from 714 metal balls, and each ball lowers and retracts autonomously from the others.

 

Check out the videos after the jump:

Watch this amazing display of 714 metal balls on strings. It really gets creative after 1 minute. So please be patient.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, “You’re next.” They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Fake swimming pool art installation in an art museum at Kanazawa City by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich. There are replicas all over the worlds and people underneath the swimming pool can actually look above where it is covered with a piece of glass with realistic water effect on top of it.

The Circle Bicycle
icon1 Snezana | icon2 Cool Stories | icon4 07 12th, 2008| icon3No Comments »

Here’s an idea of what to do when you have some broken bikes on your hand and you don’t want to get rid of them. This ingenious invention is made out of nine salvaged bicycles assembled in a carousel formation. The Circle Bike was created at USCB, it’s modular, it can be taken apart and reassembled and it is normally left in public places so different bike enthusiasts can take it for a ride.
