I just read about AddArt, a Firefox extension which replaces website advertising with curated contemporary art. How freaking cool is that?! I know a certain contemporary artist who is veryinterested in getting her paintings onto that site - I look forward to when it launches this summer. (via)
- Yale Wolf, a student at Western Washington University, has a really cool industrial design project which was featured on Wooster Collective: making a 3-dimensional representation of graffiti. He has the STL file available for download (see here). I really love designers.
- Voiceprints synthesize the sounds of a person's voice into a textile design. I love this idea and have already envisioned playful lines of fabric named for common phrases uttered. There are tons of possibilities with this, and I want to see how it develops. (via)
- Lastly, this is very old news, but I've mentioned it to a lot of people who had never heard a word about it, so for simplicity's sake (and because I was reminded by that last link), check out DNA11 Genetic Portraits, art made from one's DNA. At first I thought it was kind of funny, but more and more I'm intrigued.
