Chrono_shredder and A short film about water

Susanna Hertrich's calendar shredder.



"Since hibernation dramatically reduces the natural ageing process, would people become obsessed by it? Would they regard natural ageing as threat? Will they start counting their "awake" hours like they count calories today? And if so, which products would these people need?"

Also from Susanna "A short film about water".



"If we manage to reduce massive and complex industrial processes to a minimum of space by using nanotechnology, we can as well have them take place in people's homes. The idea behind homedustry is the fusion of industry and the home, to create a fully sustainable, self- sufficient habitat, as a reaction and solution to deal with near future environmental threats and constraints."

Spamtrap

This is my "Spamtrap" installation created in March 2007.

Watch the documentation video.



"Spamtrap is an interactive installation piece the prints, shreds and blacklists spam email. It interacts with spammers by monitoring several email addresses I have created specifically to lure in spam. I do not use these email addresses for any other communication. I post individual email addresses on websites and online bulletin boards that cause them to be harvested by spambots and then to start receiving spam.

Because I know that all email sent to these email addresses are spam, I have set the installation to print and then shred each email as it arrives. Simultaneously the installation is feeding spam blacklists on the web with information gathered from all the received spam. This in turn helps to feed spam filtering systems across the web that are working to reduce the amount of spam we all receive."

The Autotelematic Spider Bots

Ken Rinaldo's artificial life robotic series "The Autotelematic Spider Bots".

Watch the documentation video.



"They appear like spiders, see like bats, find their food like ants and twitter like birds. Created with a commission from the AV Festival England in 2006."

Digestive Table

Amy Youngs has created a new level of efficiency with "Digestive Table".

Watch the documentation video.



"A living ecosystem of worms, sowbugs and bacteria are invited to this table. They are a part of the digestive system that starts with a person discarding food leftovers and shredded paper into the portal at the top. The bacteria and sowbugs begin breaking down the waste and the worms soon join in to further digest it into a rich compost that sprinkles out of the bottom of the fabric bag that hangs beneath the table. This compost is used as a fertilizer for plants, such as those at the base of the table.

The human plays an important part at the table by eating, feeding the food waste to the worms, feeding the resulting fertilizer to the plants, or by simply sitting and appreciating the living ecosystem she/he is a part of. A cross-section of the activity inside the top 9 inches of the compost is made visible using an infrared security camera connected to an LCD screen built into the table. On the screen, viewers can see the live movements of the worms and sowbugs inside."
