The studio has been a bit manic lately so the wallpapers have been a little slow in production. But we’ve got another visual goodie bag waiting for download. This weeks wallpapers are by Paul Boulding — n.joy

Go get em!

Thanks for all your support!

Many thanks to everyone who supported our digital DNA planting, tree loving “growmythoughts” campaign. It’s proved a great success and we are planning a follow up iPhone/iPad app, as well as a possible console DLC/launch of some sort, in the future.

Data was harvested during the campaign (see image within this post). We were most impressed with the great revisit success rate, as well as an average time spent on the site of well over a minute!

The site will remain live, users can continue to monitor their plants growth, or pass the good word on and continue to build the seed community!

The richest of reading experiences!

The “Kinetic Sculpture” metaphorically translates into space the form-finding process of vehicle design. The interplay of mechanical and electronic components creates a dynamic art piece reflecting the precise exchange between a great number of individual elements and the single, coherent picture that emerges from them.

Attached by thin steel wires to individually-controlled stepper motors, 714 metal spheres move up and down, seemingly levitating.
