Sonifiying Everything, A Stained-Glass Space Shuttle, And The “False Banana” Considered As A Superfood
I bring you the finest web-reading in my weekly “Linkfest”
Normally I’m here on Monday, congratulating you for getting through that miserable first day.
But whoa, this time we’re already halfway through the week!
No matter. It’s always time to kick back and dork around online.
So here’s my offering to help with that task …
1) 🐦 Letterpress birds designed using Lego bricks
The designer Roy Scholten has released this gorgeous project: A collection of 50 bird images crafted by assembling Lego bricks into the profile of the bird, and then mashing them down sideways onto paper, letterpress-style.
Creating a design starts with establishing the outline, the total shape, and posture of the bird in question. Once that puzzle is solved, that construction is then divided up again into three to six different “lego stamps”, one for each color. Each stamp gets printed in the right order so that the combination results in the finished design.
