Joshua Davis is another New York digital artist who presents an interesting selection of video work (among other media) on his website. His studio has developed software that re-compiles video by using whatever vectors are provided, as demonstrated by this series of baby close-ups. Other interesting broadcast projects include a two-minute video that incorporates the Brazilian flag and map as shapes used in its composition and a series of video clips produced for World Aids Day.

NEC will present their KotoHana (the talking flower) at CeBit this year. KOTOHANA is two flower-shaped communication terminals. The terminal reads emotions from the voices of the users and changes into signals sent to each other so you can share your feelings with that special someone around the globe. The emotions read by the terminal are expressed by the changing color of the LED flower. Via Engadget. JGB

Digital artist Peter Stanick has a terrific interactive website that allows the user to move through a digital landscape peopled by bikini-clad models and housewives, angry taxi drivers, numerous creative types and a cigar-chomping wheeler-dealer. Stanick’s illustrations are consistently colourful and witty, but one never knows what to expect at the next click of the mouse. Stanick is currently exhibiting some of his work at the Museum Works Galleries in New York until April 15th. SM
