Can You Feel It?

Touch Room is an iOS app developed by GSP Beta Labs and it is designed to connect loved ones separated by distance.  The concept echoes other social channels like chat forums by allowing users to create ‘rooms’ that they can then invite others into.

The Daily Future is an initiative of UK based charity Nesta and is a clever and nicely executed mish mash of strategy game and political messaging.  Each week the Daily Future publishes a hot topic from the future and asks community members to vote on a position.

Go Ahead – Make My Day

Artist David Bowen is a little bit obsessed with flies. From creating swarms to getting them tweeting, they feature in many of his more obscure experimental and kinetic works.  This piece, a fly swatter gone ballistic, sets up a robotic grip armed with a revolver that is able to target and track individual flies in a room via a video camera target finder.  So, when an unsuspecting fly hits the cross hairs long enough for the robot to react – boom!
