Great kinetic sculpture video.
Maybe you have all seen Theo Jansen's work; it's very elemental.
Here's a quick introduction (c/o BMW), then watch some of the related vid's on youtube...

Something to look at

A friend of mine just showed me this video...it is just something to think about. It was interesting to see how they went from a completely digital model to the physical object.

Movement: the next frontier?

So over Thai food on Sunday, a couple of us (Rob, Tony, Jared, myself) talked about the next thing for AF. Rob and I brought up the idea of motion, as sometime during the week prior I had sent a an amazing Youtube video to Rob. His response (which I was partially expecting) was basically 'can we do that?'. Well, of course we can, and within 20 minutes I had started sketching things out. It seems like incorporating movement could be an interesting direction for us to start moving into, so I wanted to share the video that got it all going with everyone. Here ya go:
