“The Institute for Digital Biology researches next steps in the evolution of the internet, where websites and services develop into living creatures.”
This scenario lives in the mind of Walewijn den Boer, graduated from KABK in 2010.

During the exhibition, visitors were able to feed a colony of microscopical pop-up creatures, save Chinese websites from a pageview-shortage, preserve an Amazone tribe from extinction by subscribing to its homepage and view a short documentary on how the living internet established itself

‘Light Lovin’ from Rahul Sen on Vimeo.

A short film to spread light and love in the World. :)
My first stop-motion experiment done in collaboration with Lena Edman (while she was with us at Ergonomidesign).
We were a bit exhausted with the ‘why’ and ‘constraints of client work, and decided to just do something for fun.
Hopefully this turned out alright! :)

The future on my fridge.

Got this as an amazing Christmas gift from Dennis and Chrystyna!

I have a refrigerator. It’s not ordinary one. It has my app-board attached to it. I move them around to the different places where I need them and use them. I can dispose of them, synch them together (by touching), and a lot of other cool things. Someday in the near future…

Ra.One – India’s first Sci-fi film after Enthiran

Anything Hollywood does, Bollywood ‘adapts’ and does even better!

We still don’t know much about the film, except that SRK’s character is called G.One, and he’s some sort of superhero — and above is our first look at him.

A bit of backstory: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) was set to star inEnthiran, the killer-robot movie from director S. Shankar, but left that project over creative differences. But then Enthiran turned out to be a megahit — and there was a lot of talk that the story and action set-pieces in Ra.One were way too similar toEnthiran. So Ra.One has had to be retooled to make it different, and more time is being spent in post-production beefing up the effects, delaying the release from the first half of 2011 to around October.

O Fortuna from Carmina Burana

O Fortune,
like the moon
The state constantly changing,
always growing
or decreasing;
Detestable life
now difficult
and then easy
Deceptive sharp mind;
poverty
power
it melts them like ice.

Fate—monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
stand malevolent,
vain is the help
and always likely to fade to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game,
my bare back
I bring to your villainy.

Fate, in health
and in virtue,
is now against me,
driven on
and weighted down,
always in the vale of tears (Angaria).
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating string;
since Fate
strikes down the strong,
everyone weep with me!

The Anatomy of Cool

cool is what stands up – what makes you take a notice and appreciate something beyond the norm. When you see a product or a design or creation and your mind just screams at the want of it – or the appreciation to understand it more fully – that is cool.

Been working lots lately on multi-touch technology (both on MS Surface, iPhones and other projects).

Just thought it would be interesting to jot down my list of favorite multi-touch technology visions as seen on film.

Minority Report (duh!)
