Tree - Eindhoven, Netherland; Made by Simon Heijdens

TITLE: Tree

CREATOR: Simon Heijdens

LOCATION: Eindhoven, Netherlands

This light-tree exhibit is being projected onto buildings. The projecter has senors linked to it that allows wind to be sensed. They are connected to computers to make the tree move how it does. This light-tree works as a real tree would work. If the wind is blowin, it will move corresponding with the velocity of the wind. When the wind is blowing hard, the tree bends and loses trees as a real tree would. When people walk across this light tree, one of its leaves fall to the ground.

Greener Gadget

Mini Kin Wind Turbine Charger
This is a wind turbine charger. The chager uses a mini wind turbine to charge a 1500mAh lithium polymer battery. You could take this device with you anywhere, and you'll be able to charge your electronics. If you decide you want to take a ride on a boat, you could set the charger on one of the many holders and charge your electronic devices without having to find a plug anywhere. Since the charger is so compact, you could take it with you on business trips and vacations.

Abstract Expresionism

Sunflower

Title: Sunflower

Artist: Vincent Van Gogh

Location: Tokyo, Sompo Japan Museum of Art

This piece was made by Vincent Van Gogh. This piece is showing a signifigence because during his life-time, Van Gogh didn't talk to many people. With him sending a letter to his brother, Theo van Gogh, it shows that this was impotant to him. Although there are more pieces in this 'Flower' series, this is the one that Vincent sent a letter to his brother. He was telling his brother that he was looking for a new paintbrush for his style.
