I found this link on OpenProcessing and it leads to a very cool interactive project where you click anywhere on the application and the image of a field (in this case a set of connected blue lines) wraps around the place where you clicked and expands the field to where you clicked. What is cool is that you figure out various ways to play with the application by trying for example to get many holes from the image apart as they tend to merge when they are near. It is a fun way to spend some time and I think simple applications like this one can make a boring place a bit more fun.

This is probably one of the most interesting virtual worlds created so far. The reason I share this link is because I think of the potential that virtual worlds have to make our encounters with art more interactive and our everyday life more interactive. In Second Life, you can travel to massive virtual places created entirely from peoples’ imagination and even some real life places like cities in Germany and Spain. It would be really cool if we could actually put on some goggles and just walk around the places in second life and truly interact with the objects. Like if someone creates for example a skyscraper, it would be really cool to actually be able to navigate it as if it were a real skyscraper. I just think that the potential of virtual worlds to make our daily lives more interactive is huge.

Microsoft Surface is a table version of a tablet PC but with lots of other features such as interactions with various objects, connection with other wireless devices, etc. The reason I post it is because it has many features that make it interesting as a constantly changing piece of interactive art. With it you can have multiple people drawing on a screen at the same time which seems like a fun activity for people. People like to get involved in group activities and having huge screens on walls, tables and other places seems like a good idea to get groups together painting or playing music or whatever other way the Surface can be used.
