The haunting art of Anton Semenov

Zelda pixel health bar necklace
Over on Etsy, home of so many geeky goods, laser cutter specialist LicketyCut has a necklace worthy of attention. Cut from acrylic, the necklace shows a three heart health bar from the Legend of Zelda. It’s 50% full (or empty, your view). Of course, this is generic enough to be a health bar from quite […]
LEGO fuses Evangelion and Gundam
This creation mixes Evangelion and Gundam styles together. I say that up front because I didn’t twig from the title “EVA Gundam”.

Festo’s flying robot bird at The Gadget Show Live 2012
Without a doubt, for me, one of the highlights of The Gadget Show Live this year was the appearance of Festo’s bird robot in the Super Theatre. The Super Theatre houses a live stage show where The Gadget Show presenters entertain the audience for an hour. It’s also one of the best places to see […]

The ECCO2 model actually simulates ocean flows at many depths but this visualisation only shows the surface. Dark patterns are used to represent the undersea bathymetry.
