Auger–Loizeau
Tele-presence can be defined as the experience of being fully present at a live (non-virtual) location remote from one's own physical location. Effectively removing the visual and aural senses from the body’s location and having them operate in real time from somewhere else.

Eness
Cross sections in space -
A series of four translucent screens, each representing
a solid cross section of time and space.
Virtual 3D bodies passing through the sections deflect
and ricochet thousands of surrounding light particles.
The viewer directly affects the gravity, direction and
speed as they walk through the space. Beautiful
and infinite formations are created.

Loop.ph is my favorite truly innovative design company in the UK.
Here are a few of my favorite designs of theirs.
Sunumbra acts as a tree by day casting shade upon the earth as it's solar cells charge to cast light by night.
This is their alternative to an alarm clock. The fabric slowly illuminates waking you with light instead of sound.
This is a memory tablecloth that is illuminated by weight of objects placed upon it.

Everything in wood
Hummingbird or spy camera?
This cat takes a bus daily to town
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-447527/Mystery-cat-takes-regular-bus-shops.html
and I don't blame him
and it looks like he's not the only one
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/8174850.stm
Cat's are the only animals to domesticate themselves so it only makes sense, I suppose.
This camera does everything a polaroid used to but gives you credit card sized images

This is what kids should be making in school
I love Automatones
This is what it takes to make a caged bird sing
I thought mine was the only one in the world
Guess not
Three mini beauties
Someone gave this piano some booze

Short story number One
Aunt Grey lifts her tea once again to her chin and I ponder the cleanliness of her silk blouse. She's talking about something again. The topics are items I never feel I can talk about freely. She shows me a picture of Micheal Jacksons children one of which has dyed their hair white and she's disgusted beyond her manners and I feel she wants to curse but doesn't. "How could a parent do that to a child?!" and I'm replying to her rhetorical question in my head with why would anyone allow for their child to die their hair a color of the children of the corn? Pink or orange would have suited him better.
I watch the droplets of her tea conjoin once again on the very edge of her china in one large beige threat to her blouse and once again it is just a tease.
My eyes glaze out to the garden as she starts on about Micheal's brain being put in a freezer. I imagine my body still on the grass under the quaint queen like wave of the sprinkler. I giggle at the thought of aunt Grey catching me doing this. My timing is impeccable for she's just made a joke about Micheal's brain being put into an ape.
I understand suddenly why Peter Pan was written here and why comedians are so bonkers and brilliant, why punk rock was invented here it can be oppressive, this quaintness and I've got to use it to my advantage.
