Chandeliers from The Future

Because who here can honestly say that they don’t want to live in a chandelier?

These students from “An Inconvenient Studio” which might be in Italy or America or somewhere, have gotten fed up with waiting, and made their own – which is CNC-fabbed, and has robotic, arduino-powered leafy things that move according to whatever the person underneath is doing – a bit like Ceiling Cat, but more aloof and non-judgemental.

This is from http://www.i-m-a-d-e.org/ which also has this

The Flickr photostream that that came from also has this:

Which from a distance looks like a fan, but on closer inspection is some sort of giant wooden venus-flytrap robot that suddenly grabs people when they’re not expecting it, and makes them spill the large tray of drinks they were carrying etc.

I like that i.m.a.d.e site – it’s got the same 3 column layout that notcot has – similar to the way Opera interprets RSS which is almost always easier to read than the actual website that it’s linking to.
