Filmmaker Timo Arnall has put together a collection of clips that show us the world through the eyes of robots and machines.
How do robots see the world? How do they gather meaning from our streets, cities, media and from us?
This is an experiment in found machine-vision footage, exploring the aesthetics of the robot eye.

Japanese artist Ikeda Manabu creates the most detailed, expressive, and awe inspiring artwork which literally rolls across the canvas with subtle colours amidst waterless wave-like formations. Each work is constructed upon a series of intricate miniatures which play out across broader themes of unrest and movement.
The third industrial revolution
The digitisation of manufacturing will transform the way goods are made—and change the politics of jobs too
THE first industrial revolution began in Britain in the late 18th century, with the mechanisation of the textile industry. Tasks previously done laboriously by hand in hundreds of weavers’ cottages were brought together in a single cotton mill, and the factory was born. The second industrial revolution came in the early 20th century, when Henry Ford mastered the moving assembly line and ushered in the age of mass production. The first two industrial revolutions made people richer and more urban. Now a third revolution is under way. Manufacturing is going digital. As this week’s special report argues, this could change not just business, but much else besides.
Some of the business of making things will return to rich countries
As manufacturing goes digital, a third great change is now gathering pace. It will allow things to be made economically in much smaller numbers, more flexibly and with a much lower input of labour, thanks to new materials, completely new processes such as 3D printing, easy-to-use robots and new collaborative manufacturing services available online. The wheel is almost coming full circle, turning away from mass manufacturing and towards much more individualised production. And that in turn could bring some of the jobs back to rich countries that long ago lost them to the emerging world.

The mechanical device interfaces between waterfall and dynamic space. Japanese waterfall is a poetic elements in shrine gardens and primeval forests. The dynamic mechanism interweaves between natural landscape and human habitation. The lyrical output triggers an interactive environment that harvests hydro-electricity as well as creates a dynamic inhabitable space. Mist is regenerated as a by-product encapsulating a micro-climate. The prototype demonstrates the process of chain action wherein a series of turbines collects water dragging and pushing the chain structure to deform via elastic strings and hooks.

Fog Structures:
1. A Channelling Structure that shapes fog and self-visibility. I aim to explore fog as an element of navigation moderating ambiguity, visibility and materiality of a sensual environment or ambient landscape.
2. A Vibrating Fog Enclosure that wobbles and flickers due to its contact with foggy water, and its carriage of the weight of foggy condensation. It could be a potential hydro-electro façade.

Each day has a different colored sun which creates different colored watermelons, and the central building also changes frequently. – In Watermelon Sugar
is it ice or is it fire?
