It took 27 years, and it’s finally here…  well, at least 27 years before I finally stumbled onto it.

Tezuka Osamu

September 4th, 2009

Dr. Osamu Tezuka (November 3, 1928February 9, 1989) was a Japanese manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the “Father of Anime”, and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as “the father of manga” and “the god of manga”. His grave is located in Tokyo’s Souzen-ji Temple Cemetery.

This is beautiful.

Play these [videos] together, some or all, start them at any time, in any order.

In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

The videos can be played simultaneously — the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.

“Functional visualizations are more than innovative statistical analyses and computational algorithms. They must make sense to the user and require a visual language system that uses colour, shape, line, hierarchy and composition to communicate clearly and appropriately, much like the alphabetic and character-based languages used worldwide between humans.”

2,000,000,000,000 years to turn.

43461_254x191A modern-day creator of “twittering machines,” Arthur Ganson uses simple, plain materials to build witty mechanical art. But the wit is not simply about Rube Goldberg-ian chain-reaction gags (though you’ll find a few of those). His work examines the quiet drama of physical motion, whether driven by a motor or by the actions of the viewer. Notions of balance, of rising and falling, of action and reaction and consequence, play themselves out in wire and steel and plastic.

Ganson has been an artist-in-residence at MIT (where the Lemelson-MIT Award Program named him an Inventor of the Week, and where his show “Gestural Engineering” is ongoing) and has shown his work at art and science museums around the world — including a current, held-over show at the phaeno in Wolfsburg, Germany.

“Ganson’s work isn’t ruled by a clockwork philosophy; it is open to whatever truths about life and motion his wires, motors, oil, and chains will lend themselves to. His pieces are not, like de Vaucanson’s duck, scrupulous mechanical copies of living things, but are instead suggestive — or, as Ganson puts it, “gestural,” frequently grounded in biological and bodily processes but never limited to them.”
