Meet Mr. Head, a cleaning robot that makes abstract paintings
Painting might be the last thing you'd expect robots to excel at, but some of them produce top quality results. Take Mr. Head, for example. This machine creates paintings in the style of the American abstract expressionism movement. He used to be a vacuum cleaner, but a Japanese engineer, who goes by the name HYdeJII, turned him into an artist.
The build is quite simple. HYdeJII attached four containers filled with acrylic paints into the robot and connected them with tubes. He then programmed the machine to move around a 1,000mm x 1,000mm canvas and squirt different paints. I bet he really likes Pollock and Riopelle.
Check out a video of Mr. Head dripping paint down a canvas after the break.
These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.
Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
