Here are some pictures from the group video mapping show, Form and Substance: Projection Mapping and Contemporary Art last weekend in Brooklyn, NY. We will be posting a video from the show soon. Thank you to all of the artists involved. Very special thank you to DWP Live who provided all of the projectors for the exhibition.

A robotic vacuum cleaner called ‘Limbo‘ was created by industrial designer Elliot Cohen as a concept project for the 25th anniversary of Casabella. Unveiled at the 2013 International Housewares Show in Chicago, it was designed “to inspire and push the limits of design and engineering for the future.”
Notably: “The robotic floor cleaner powers itself through the bacteria it consumes.”
