Paper Signals
Project from Google Creative Lab lets you create papercraft Internet of Things objects that can be programmed with a voice assistant:
Paper Signals is an experiment that explores how physical things can be controlled with voice. You can build one of the examples to track things like weather, Bitcoin, and rocket launches. Or get the code to invent your own Paper Signal.

H A R V E S T
Artwork by Julian Oliver employs wind energy to power a Bitcoin Miner, whose earnings go to fund climate research:
HARVEST is a work of critical engineering and computational climate art. It uses wind-energy to mine cryptocurrency, the earnings of which are used as a source of funding for climate-change research.
Taking the form of a 2m wind turbine with environmental sensors, weatherproof computer and 4G uplink, HARVEST ‘feeds’ from two primary symptoms of our changing climate: wind gusts and storms. It does this by transforming wind energy into the electricity required to meet the demanding task of mining cryptocurrency (here Zcash), a decentralised process where computers are financially rewarded for their work maintaining and verifying a public transaction ledger known as the blockchain. Rather than filling the digital wallet of the artist, all rewards earned by the HARVEST mining machine are paid out as donations to non-profit climate change research organisations such that they can better study this planetary-scale challenge.
Acting as a fully functional prototype beyond a media-art context, it is envisaged hundreds of such HARVEST nodes could be deployed in the windiest parts of the world, together generating large sums of supplementary funding for climate-change NGOs in a time where climate science itself is under siege from the fossil-fuelled interests of goverments and corporations.

ReBlink
Augmented Reality project from Art Gallery of Ontario visually remixes their painting collection into modern scenes:
Have you ever wondered how the AGO’s paintings would look with a modern update? How would the portraits change? And how would the landscapes transform?
Visitors won’t believe their eyes (or they’ll at least do a double-take) this summer as the AGO offers a magical new way to experience art. From Toronto-based digital artist Alex Mayhew comes ReBlink, an innovative augmented reality experience that taps into the power of leading-edge technology to give visitors the chance to see works from the AGO’s Canadian and European Collections in a whole new way.
Using a custom app for smartphones and tablets, visitors use their device’s camera to unlock Mayhew’s modern twists on historical works of art. Mayhew highlights how much we have — and haven’t — changed over time, inviting visitors to look at paintings such as Evisceration of a Roebuck with a Portrait of a Married Couple, Drawing Lots and Marchesa Casati through his unique 21st century lens.

Archive Dreaming
Installation by Refik Anadol and Mike Tyka explores data and machine learning, letting you examine 1.7 million documents, their information and connections, but when idle it visualizes ‘dreams’ of documents with neural networks:
Commissioned to work with SALT Research collections, artist Refik Anadol employed machine learning algorithms to search and sort relations among 1,700,000 documents. Interactions of the multidimensional data found in the archives are, in turn, translated into an immersive media installation. Archive Dreaming, which is presented as part of The Uses of Art: Final Exhibition with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union, is user-driven; however, when idle, the installation “dreams” of unexpected correlations among documents. The resulting high-dimensional data and interactions are translated into an architectural immersive space.
Shortly after receiving the commission, Anadol was a resident artist for Google’s Artists and Machine Intelligence Program where he closely collaborated with Mike Tyka and explored cutting-edge developments in the field of machine intelligence in an environment that brings together artists and engineers. Developed during this residency, his intervention Archive Dreaming transforms the gallery space on floor -1 at SALT Galata into an all-encompassing environment that intertwines history with the contemporary, and challenges immutable concepts of the archive, while destabilizing archive-related questions with machine learning algorithms.
In this project, a temporary immersive architectural space is created as a canvas with light and data applied as materials. This radical effort to deconstruct the framework of an illusory space will transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience of a library and the conventional flat cinema projection screen, into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of an archive visualized with machine learning algorithms. By training a neural network with images of 1,700,000 documents at SALT Research the main idea is to create an immersive installation with architectural intelligence to reframe memory, history and culture in museum perception for 21st century through the lens of machine intelligence.

A Web-Browser for the Physical World
Update to MIT Fluid Interface Group project Reality Editor which lets you create apps and program the physical world with Augmented Reality (including LEGO):
The Reality Editor is a new kind of tool for empowering you to connect and manipulate the functionality of physical objects. Just point the camera of your smartphone at an object and its invisible capabilities will become visible for you to edit. Drag a virtual line from one object to another and create a new relationship between these objects. With this simplicity, you are able to master the entire scope of connected objects.

Jermania
Wenn Ihr wissen wollt, was Linda vor einiger Zeit in Indonesien getrieben hat. Wir haben da jetzt eine Antwort. Sie heißt Jermania – ein Educational Game für junge Indonesier*innen, die sich für Deutschlands Sprache und Kultur interessieren. Jermania ist das Produkt einer, durch das Goethe-Institut Indonesien organisierten, Zusammenarbeit indonesischer und deutscher Videospielentwickler, u.a. the Good Evil. Die Spieler*innen können fünf deutsche Städte interaktiv bereisen und dabei Sehenswürdigkeiten wie den Kölner Dom oder die Dresdener Semperoper erkunden. Mini Games sorgen für Spaß und Abwechslung und ermöglichen einen spielerischen Einstig ins Deutschlernen. Das Spiel wird ab sofort in Indonesien auf Google Play und im Apple App Store (demnächst) zum kostenlosen Download angeboten. Hier gibt es den Trailer.
