Last.fm : Music to Listeners' Ears
| In this age of locked-down radio playlists, in which the same songs are played over and over, discovering new music is harder than ever. But a new online radio station out of London is attempting to tackle the problem by automatically tailoring the music it plays to individual listeners' tastes. Last.fm is a streaming radio station with a built-in collaborative filter that attempts to learn its listeners' likes and dislikes. Based on data gathered, the station delivers a personalized radio stream to each of its listeners. -- Source Wired News An interesting concept for internet radio: Last.fm - the social music revolution. |

Helmick + Schechter Sculpture
Using traditional methods, the artists sculpted twelve life-size portraits of ordinary American citizens-representing twelve members of a jury. The heads were then laser-scanned, rapid-prototyped at small scale, cast in pewter in large quantities, finished with a hand-rubbed patina, and precisely affixed to hundreds of suspended cables.| Jurisprudents Collectively, the over 3,000 small sculptures coalesce into two monumental heads facing each other across a skylit courthouse atrium. In creating an abstract representation of implied dialogue, this artwork honors a legal system rooted in the voice of the people. Helmick + Schechter Sculpture |

Or looks like the lounges in 2001 A Space Odessey ... call it post-modern kitsch? Red Bull HQ London by Jump Studios (see "Projects"). See the big pictures here. And check out the other sweet Jump Studios projects! |
