The Crowd-Sourcing of Intelligent-Design

From the Garden of Earthly Delights #2

Further to the utterly fantastic video here.

A robotic flower from Akira Nakayasu of Kyushu University, Japan and Himawari… on display at Robosquare in Fukuoka (they’ve got a Robosquare? Why haven’t I got a robosquare?)

It follows your hand and its LEDs copy the movements – which is pretty cool, partly at least because Copying and Attention-seeking are two of the behaviours hard-wired into the Human Bios – it’s how we learn.

More art-bot flowers here.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
