Very interesting huge overview of artworks at the intersection of Art, Technology,
Science & Culture:

Beyond that, it contains links about festivals, organisations and a huge bibliography. A really great resource, compiled by Stephen Wilson, professor for Conceptual/Information Arts at San Francisco State University.

Donna Tull, a fellow student at the interactive course, created a lovely artwork at LCC. She made a broom out of pencils and swept away the footsteps of people crossing the floor in the staircase.

The new website of the Biojewellery (yeah, the British spelling!) project just went online. The team around Nikki Stott & Tobie Kerridge are currently looking for couples who would like to get personal rings made from metals and bioengeneered bone tissue. Go for it and donate your bone cells now!

Not the most recent, but still very lovely interactive typographic work by hahakid.net:
For All Seasons

My PC friends out there should definitely download the small exe file and run the project, the Mac friends can only see the pictures and quicktime, but they still get a good impression.

Finally back in London, i attend the Crash Symposium last friday, thanks to Kalle Korman for the information. The symposiums domain is to explore human onthology and the future of coding in an interdisciplinary space of quantum physics, philosophy, artificial intelligence, robotics to indie porn. If you enter each one of these keywords at google, you’ll find loads of information. Dr. Sunny Bains, scientist in the field of optoelectronics, robotics, machine perception and emerging computing technologies, gave an interesting lecture on AI and physical computation. Among others, she showed a video from the Human Power and Robotics Lab, Cornell Univ., walking creatures without using any motors or classical computation. Check out their videos. Of course, they reminded me of Strandbeest.

The nerdiest domain ever:
