Matt Shilian and Origami Art: A Combination to Explore New Horizons for Classic Japanese Art

Taking the classic origami art a few steps further, Matt Shilian combined art with science to create these featured works.

Inspired by the cutting of different shapes and object to the design of a virus, Matt Shilian was definitely elaborate while detailing these different pieces. Shilian used various computer programs to get the format of his works and his intricate end products are worthy of a museum exhibit.

"Artist Matt Shlian is great at screwing up. A self-described papercraft engineer, Shlian designs stunning 3-D paper sculptures that fall somewhere between origami, pop-up books, and Minimal Art -- many of them happy accidents. Sometimes "I begin with an idea for movement and try to achieve that shape or form somehow," he tells us. "Along the way something usually goes wrong and a mistake becomes more interesting than the original idea and I work with that instead."

Air Swimmers: Fish Flying Through the Air With Remote Control in Your Hands

The aircraft-balloon type things aren’t exactly “in” right now, but anyone who loves marine life would flip their lid if they saw this. They’re called Air Swimmers, and they are fish that fly through the air like a remote controlled blimp. They look on the outside as though they’d be terribly boring, but they’re quite graceful and much happier than a toy helicopter that will likely fall out of the sky and injure you if you’re not careful.

They glide and float rather gracefully and look like real aquatic life in a sea of invisible water. Just check out the video below captured at Toy Fair. These should be available in July for about $40, and will definitely be a lot more safe for your children…or yourself, should the batteries die and it fall out of the air.

Art du Temps: Amazing Wall Clock Design by Illi and Julien Ado Created for An Agency Called Design by 8

This wall clock is not a clock on the wall but the entire wall is a clock. It has the best Swiss watch technology and it is mechanical but the way it works is what makes it unique and amazing.  It is wonderful to just watch the clock function and tell the time when you ask. Putting together this elaborate clock is expensive but it will soon go in for commercial production and will not remain a mere concept prototype.

Art du Temps is a design by Illi and Julien Ado created for an agency called Design by 8. The design is basically rectangular board with lot of squares on it.  These squares move up and down to the beat of the second to show that the clock is working. The movement of the squares does not follow a pattern by but happens randomly. When you want to know the time you simply ask. You can do it with a remote device or through voice command.

What follows is the most interesting part.  The squares move around like a choreographed ballet and finally display a digital clock, but one that uses physical pieces. It is called “mechanical digital hours”. Now that the production plan for the clock is in place the price of the final product has been firmed and it will cost you around 90,000 Swiss francs. They will start taking orders from March 2011. The delivery of first pieces will start from fall/winter of 2011. The wait would be worth it.
