Work/Life Clock Table.

The Work/Life Clock Table is battery powered and radio controlled and because it doubles up as a dining table it’s supposed to remind the family about ‘the balance between work life and family life’. I think it will remind families never to use a glass topped table ever ever again around children of a small age.  The daily stress factor has moved into the private homes.The dining table has an embedded watch. It symbolises, the importance of time – and…

World’s first cellphone movie?

The World’s First Cellphone Movie. Eight Sony Ericsson W900i cellphones, 11 days, $164,000 (what the heck for?) and three main characters. Blair Witch Project it ain’t. Probably. [Via Metafilter]  The cheap technology used to shoot SMS Sugar Man means the cameras are always rolling, making for a fresher, more dynamic and fluid movie, with room to experiment…Kaganof–who ironically bought his first cell phone last year to make the film–dismissed concerns over quality and said the footage looked “fabulous” when blown…

Colorization by numbers.

A team of researchers at Hebrew University in Israel have developed what seems to be a fast and simple way to colorize black and white still images and movies. This may be good news or bad, depending on which side of the ‘art is art’ divide you come from.   A major difficulty with colorization has been its labor-intensiveness.
