Here's a very very brand new experiment for those of you interested in tech+arts: A Flipboard magazine called, uh, Tech+Arts. 

Every frame in this stop-motion music video is embroidered:

This sci-fi themed music video combines heavy metal, embroidery and stop-motion animation to produce something quite unusual.

It’d be a vast understatement to say the world of journalism is currently experiencing a lot of change. To us, that means it’s more important than ever to make sure journalists have the tools and resources to try new things — whether they’re professionals looking for innovative ways of funding and sharing their work, or ordinary folks with a hunger to tell the stories around them. Together, we’ve seen people launch terrific podcasts, magazines, works of photojournalism, websites, and striking tools for learning about the world. We’re sure we’ll be seeing even more amazing things to come.

And we’re especially pleased to announce that the Guardian, an institution with a global reputation for producing great and uncompromising journalism, is launching a curated page to highlight compelling projects from around the world.

Before Google Earth:

In 1908 Dr Julius Neubronner patented a miniature pigeon camera activated by a timing mechanism. The invention brought him international notability after he presented it at international expositions in Dresden, Frankfurt and Paris in 1909–1911.

Spectators in Dresden could watch the arrival of the camera-equipped carrier pigeons, and the photos were immediately developed and turned into postcards which could be purchased.

We wanted to build an object that isn’t a piece of glass that lives in your jeans. The smart hoodie was born.

The first switch was put into the left sleeve and sent messages to my Facebook account – notifying my friends that I was in class. After that we tested switches with the hoodie and other sleeve. Gestures that used to require your fingers on a tiny piece of glass now are translated into everyday movement, buttons no more.

Playing with the idea of a fun cell phone device we programmed the hoodie to send preset messages to my mother, notifying her of what I’m up while at school. If I rolled up my left sleeve it tells her I am in class and can’t talk, if I put my hoodie on it tells her that I miss her and if I push the right sleeve it lets her know I am free and can chat online.
