ENDLESS CHOICE OF COLORS

MAGIC PEN?

Imagine being able to draw or write with any color in the world, not just the color(s) of the ink that come with your pen. Say hello to the Scribble Pen, a smart pen with a special ink cartridge and scanner that can replicate any color.

Billed as the "last pen you'll ever have to buy," the Scribble Pen promises to let you "scan" colors simply by touching the RGB color sensor built into the top of the pen onto a colored object. Want to doodle with an exact shade of red from a rose? Touch the pen's scanner to its petals. Must color your BB-8 drawing with the right orange? No worries, touch the Scribble Pen to a BB-8 toy and get coloring. Itching to make a poop emoji masterpiece for your loved one? Go ahead and scan that turd you just squeezed out. OK, maybe don't do that, but you get the idea.

The Pen's smart ink cartridge "connects to a smart micro pump that recreates the color you have scanned." According to the product's website, the ink is water-resistant and won't ever fade. We have no idea how long the ink will last, only that you'll be able to "write for miles with each generous, affordable ink cartridge."

Truly a revolutionary tool to make art.

WATCHING YOU EVERY MOVE

MIRROR OR ARTWORK?

Daniel is an artist, educator and developer working in the area of interactive digital art. As an interactive artist, Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. In many cases the viewer becomes the contents of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation of the piece. 

Even though computers are often used in Rozin's work, they are seldom visible. As an educator he is an Arts Professor at ITP where he teaches classes related to art, fabrication and physical computing. He was born in Jerusalem and formally trained as an industrial designer. His work has been exhibited widely with solo exhibitions in the US and internationally and featured in publications such as The New York Times, Wired, ID, Spectrum and Leonardo. His work has earned him numerous awards including Prix Ars Electronica, ID Design Review and the Chrysler Design Award.

His works are spectacular. Works that are the results of years spent in the research and direct application of software and in studying the potential of new technologies. Works that focalize on the concept of “mirror” with admirable perseverance. That means the direct and formal translation of the everyday interactivity that an object as the mirror is able to create with everyone that stares at it.

The originality and simplicity of all the works by Daniel Rozin born during deep studies and a ten-year experience on how PC technologies are able to answer differently to the spectator point of view, physically involved with an active role and part of Rozin’s installations. Artist and researcher able to create his own mathematic expression codes, reluctant to the use of software introduced in a massive way on the market, Rozin has produced during a long carrier tons of works and interactive installations/mirrors, not necessarilyfocused on an evident manifestation of technology, but ruled by a hidden dialogue between physical material, recycled material, everyday material and computer exactly.

Wow. He really shows us that when you combine art and technology you can make something out of the box, something unique, different, and cool. When we stand in front of his masterpieces, we become part of his artwork. That's something we rarely see in the world. Well, every artwork has a different style. And I love this style :)
