Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations

Posted by michael on from the wearing-all-black dept.

Gernot Ziegler writes "After having read a report on the fusion of Art and Technology, I somehow ended up on Perry Hoberman's page. I don't know this guy, but I've always been fascinated by techno art, and these ones are clearly intriguing. There is the Workaholic, a pendulum with a bar code scanner over a carpet with bar codes and an attached projector that overlays images on the carpet, or the ZOMBIAC (Zone Of Monitor-Based Inter-Amnesiac Contact) that lures the visitors into thinking that the machines react to them directly. You might also want to have a look at this weird auction (that's where I got this link from) ! :)"

    The ZOMBIAC is nowhere near as cool as zombo.com!

    Anything is possible at zombo.com!

    The only limit is yourself!

    That's ridiculous.

    Actually, it's quite a good idea! For use in X I mean, when Linux becomes mainstream. (About 2 months after Duke Nukem Forever is released) But think of the possibilities! Some script kiddie is trying to sound cool in his favorite cracks/scripts channel on DALnet, using excessive leet speak when all of the sudden, a dialog box like that pops up, disconnects IRC, sets a 24 hour sleep() call in init (to be removed after booting once) and reboots! Such simple joys!
