Leonardo Ulian, from Gorizia, Italy, is responsible for this intricate Circuit Mandala.  The OCD portion of my brain really appreciates the symmetry he achieved with this piece.  I get the impression that he started with the middle microchip and just worked his way outward.  This thing is about 4ft x 4ft, so it must have taken him quite some time.  This thing really is a masterpiece… The final product appears reminiscent of a spider web.

It’d really be fantastic if the circuit was functional…

…And I guess Leonardo Ulian addresses that here:

“With the Technological Mandala series I combined the suggestive and spiritual meaning of the Indian Mandalas with something that has been perceived as far from that sphere of influence, technology. The search of perfection as necessity within the electronics industry has stimulated my curiosity to produce this series of pieces in order to evocate that specific need. I wanted to show what has been hidden from the eyes of the consumer, representing electronic circuits as extraordinary objects where the perfection of the design can becomes almost something ethereal.

The shapes and colors of the single components intrigued me for pure aesthetic reasons with the consequent loss of the actual functionality of the component itself. My circuits/ Mandalas do not activate lights or do other complicated function, but they simply function as stimulus to produce simple questions like: what will happen if a real electric current flows through the Circuit/Mandala?”

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure nothing good would come out of this circuit.  However, it would be a nice artistic progression for Ulian to design an aesthetically beautiful circuit that also functions.

Tears of Steel

Tears of Steel - Blender Foundation

I’ve been on a bit of a movie kick these past few weeks, and fortunately, I’ve come across some pretty cool stuff.  This is a crowd-funded SciFi short movie called “Tears of Steel” that was created using the 3d open source tool, Blender.  The visual effects are pretty spot on, and the story’s entertaining.

Why We Can’t Walk Straight

September 30th, 2012 | Brain

NPR’s Robert Krulwich reports on why we can’t walk straight.  This video is gorgeous and in case you were curious, the animator, Benjamin Arthur traced each frame of the live video to create the final piece – quite the arduous process, but I think it paid off… So a takeaway from the video, if you ever get lost, remember to look for a fixed point to orient yourself!

‘A Glorious Dawn’ – Carl Sagan ft. Stephen Hawking

September 28th, 2012 | Brain, Space

Good Morning!

This song came out a few years ago from the Symphony of Science group (the same group that brought us ‘The Garden of Your Mind‘), and it is a dandy.  Most of the footage came from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos and Stephen Hawking’s Universe series.

These are 2 great scientists who were tremendously influential in the communication of science, so it’s great to see them remixed together for this video.

Special thanks to reader, Jess Jae, for passing this along!

Shippo, The Brain-Controlled Tail

Brain-Controlled Tail

My, oh my..! Japan is always a leader in the world of technology and that’s why I find the country so fascinating.  But, it should not be forgotten that Japan is also the leader in weird ideas that Western culture can’t quite understand.

 I guess that’s where I find myself with Shippo, the brain-controlled tail.  Is this a real product??

I can’t say exactly how this works, but from their site, I gather that when you are relaxed, the tail will move slowly and when you are “concentrating” on something, the tail will move quickly.

 I assume the sensor registers the muscle activity in your forehead, and this sensor is connected to a smartphone app, so you can record your mood and share it on the internet.

Here’s a short tidbit from the neurowear site:

“What will happen when people show their feelings even when they don’t express them? Interesting? Ashamed? Scared? In the beginning, people may feel strange, however people quickly become accustomed to controlling their new ears with their brainwaves.

Right now, Necomimi can become a part of your body.”

I think I’ll say “No Thanks” to the brain-controlled tail, but if you feel so inclined, you can check out Neurowear to see their already released, brain-controlled ears.
