Hello. Life changed. Will post more about it. Have less time, more stress, more weirdness. More posts about that later. As for the delay, sorry about it. The new Razor Coated Candies is here: with less clips (less, more coherence) and an intro I did with Flixtime - I know we'll need something more to make it kick ass. But there. Enjoy the music. Give feedback. Go out and enjoy life.

how to represent Ghost in the Shell's cyberspace with a Kinect
Celebrating the 3D re-release of "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society"from March 26, Kayac Inc. has created a special promotional booth that places you right inside cyberspace.
Using Microsoft's Kinect Sensor visitors can interact with the virtual anime landscape in the Cyberspace System using just body gestures and movement. Your mission: Locate and capture the Tachikoma character in the cyberspace. Be warned, you only have a limited time!
No joysticks, no controllers, no buttons…Float freely through cyberspace just by twisting your body to turn, leaning forward or back to shift perspective, and placing one step in front or behind to move. You can finally "capture" the Tachikoma by sweeping down with one arm. (via vimeo)
dancing with invisible light
A series of interactions with Kinect's infrared structured light. With these images I was exploring the unique photographic possibilities presented by using a Microsoft Kinect as a light source. The Kinect - an inexpensive videogame peripheral - projects a pattern of infrared dots known as "structured light". Invisible to the eye, this pattern can be captured using an infrared camera. The Kinect uses the deformation of this dot pattern to derive 3D information about its subjects (an ability which has already spawned an explosion of incredible digital art).

child of eden - white gloves trailer
The actors in the trailer appear to be wearing white gloves - something that Mizuguchi's done in the past when showing Child of Eden's Kinect version at gaming events. This makes us wonder if white gloves are required. Mizuguchi tells Kotaku that white gloves are not required for Child of Eden, but wearing them can lead to "magic time". (via kotaku)

More ROCK, rage and leathered and laced up beauties in the new edition of Razor Coated Candies. Which has been going on for a month now. No experimentation this week (personal post coming up later as to the reason behind the no experimentation, the delay and the non-posting of the past weeks), only a few earfuls of some decent stuff that caught our attention this week. Thanks to all of you who helped with their ideas to get this one going, you all know who you are! Now I'm scheduling this post to sometime during the late morning hours and falling asleep before... By the way, this is a Dragontape.

paris atomic - the nuclear panic fashion video
On March 23 2011, the radioactive cloud coming from FUKUSHIMA, Japan - reached Paris’ sky.
After TCHERNOBYL, Paris undergoes its second atomic crisis. Ever magazine, through Julien Bachelet, Laure Lou Tardy Joye and Freon’s work, illustrates this event with an artistic video symbolizing nuclear panic. (via boingboing, recommended by @dawe_)
tron-like house of future on a beijing mall
LAVA's Home of the future is a showcase for future living with man, nature and technology in harmony. Home of the future will be built later this year on the rooftop of a new shopping mall in Beijing. An artificial sky dome will provide a year-round microclimate that opens up the home to a tropical garden filled with sun, light and fresh air, an oasis in the city. The fluid design and organisational strategy based on the structure of cells is easily adapted to suit specific requirements. Visitors will experience 15 different living spaces, from internal/external bathroom zones, to kitchens flowing to veggie patches and outdoor decks, to sunken bedrooms with dream-inducing lighting.

[polish spaceship europop] ambulans - wiem ze
They play glowing, futuristic instruments in space, where asymmetrical hair is totally awesome. They're . . . Ambulans, a Polish band from Kielce, whose new song "Wiem Że" will remind you that Italo disco never died, says Annalee Newitz of IO9 and she's right, that's another fantastic example of MORE visually Tron-inspsired music videos. Come to think of it, the whole Tron franchise had a visual inspiration over things, ne? (via io9)

decode:recode (final)
The final version of our recode of the V&A Decode ident - now with audio.
The decode logo is formed from 250,000 cubes which separate, swarm and flock like tiny futuristic cuboid fish.
It runs in realtime on a (high end) consumer PC, and it's even a bit interactive.

damage’s razor coated candies 02
Hello, joyful readers looking for new music. The second etape of razor coated candies is out, which is a weekly edition of 21 tracks ranging from black to another shade of black (and very intense, rumbling, bass- and melody-heavy and otherwise quite enjoyable inbetween). There is a huge mixture of genres, last week's RCC meandered from darkpop through cabaret and ambient to electrohouse, this week's edition might be a bit more influenced by gothic, but I wouldn't be so sure. Be prepared - every Thursday brings you a new edition (something Miss @Toyclouds called endre kabátolt cukorkák which sent bits of our brain Sputnikwards), share this Dragontape package if you need some weekly recommendation into the blissful waves beyond the mainstream maya.
