Coca-Cola Beatbox Pavillon - Olympic Games London 2012
During the London 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, sponsor Coca-Cola presented the #39;Beatbox #39; pavilion in the middle of the Olympic Park. The arena combined architectural design and sound technology to produce an "artwork" where guests could walk in and create music. 230 red and white translucent synthetic cushions -- 40 of them sound-emitting and touch-sensitive -- were developed to make up the interactive faade of the pavilion. Through sound, vibration and LED light activation, visitors experienced the immediate tonal, tactile and visual feedback. iart interactive ag developed this "musical instrument" from proof of concept to solution in close collaboration with the architects, the sound designers and the general contractor Nssli. The task included the design of the loudspeakers, the development of sensors sensitive to distance, velocity and touch, the implementation of an IT based control system, the lighting design, the design of the interactive cushions as well as the system development.From:iartinteractiveViews:1 1ratingsTime:05:14More inScience Technology

Brookdale College World War II Lecture Series: The Monuments Men
As Hitler was attempting to conquer the western world, his armies were methodically pillaging the finest art in Europe. The Monuments Men had expertise as museum directors, curators, art scholars and educators, artists, architects and archivists. Their job description was simple: to save as much of the culture of Europe as they could during World War II. The group of men and women from 13 nations not only had the vision to understand the grave threat to the greatest cultural and artistic achievements of civilization but joined the front lines to do something about it. The Monuments Men had a mandate from President Roosevelt and the support of General Eisenhower but no vehicles, gasoline, typewriters, or authority was authorized. It was a race against time to save the world #39;s greatest cultural treasures from destruction at the hands of Nazi fanatics. Historian and Professor Emeritus of History, Jack Needle.will share the story of these unlikely heroes, many who were volunteers, whose courageous spirit and actions actually enabled the best of humanity to defeat the worst.From:Steve LubetkinViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:14:59More inEducation
