Just before Christmas POKE London came up with a snow-cannon installation that allowed people to trigger a snowfall using their smartphones.

Posters in Rivington Street in Hackney encouraged pedestrians to make a call or check in using Foursquare. Those curious enough were rewarded with a snowfall to the tunes of ‘Let it Snow’ by Dean Martin.

Futuristic highways in the Netherlands glow in the dark 1 Futuristic highways in the Netherlands glow in the dark 2

A futuristic highway that can save energy and improve road safety is set to be installed in the Netherlands by mid-2013. The highway includes: glow-in-the-dark road markings painted with photo-luminescent paint which are charged during the day and light up during the night; temperature-responsive paint which indicates slippery roads when temperatures fall below zero; and interactive lights along the highway that light up as cars approach.

Wind lights that light up using the draft produced by cars and priority induction lanes that can recharge electric cars as they run along them also feature. The luminous road markings and weather indicating roads will debut in the Dutch province of Brabant.

Intouch: Car versus Piano

Intouch is an insurance company based in Russia. They wanted to show how unpredictable car accidents are, and that it’s better to have a good insurance. To do so, they launched “car versus piano” a concept where people had to guess, when a piano, that was hanged with ropes above a car, would fall.

Well done, Intouch!

Geometric Porn App

“Unfortunately Geometric Porn App was rejected and suspended by Apple and Google.
Tons of blogs and pages have been filled by the people with complaints about these censures. In response to that I decided to give the APK file for Android to the users. Go to the official website to download the app into your Android device.

Apple: Reasons for Rejection:
16.1: Apps that present excessively objectionable or crude content will be rejected.

Geometric Porn is Something abstract existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence. Visual geometry containing the non-explicit description of sexual organs or activity. Arising in the mind it intends to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.

GeometricPorn is a project by Luciano Foglia, a multidisciplinary visual artist. He has been working in the design industry for over ten years focusing on interactive design, code based animations and music. His personal time is spent exploring new ways of expression in music and art, working from his studio in London, Hackney Wick.”
