This is by far one of the most impressive DIY projects I’ve ever seen. Seems some guy hacked his Saucony sneakers with photoresistors to react to light. Each show has a 1/4″ jack to plug in an amp cable with and when you move your foot, a sound file is manipulated. Those NYU students are just so darn crafty.

The entire process is detailed well on his personal NYU page, so be sure to give that a read if you can warrant the time for it. Oh yeah, take a guess at what interface he used for all of this. Did you pick Arduino? You would be correct, sir.

Found on the streets of New York, located on the NYU campus, between 2nd and 3rd St. by the Barney Building, sits a hidden gem of street art. Captured and uploaded onto Flickr by user hungryghoast, the “Flowing Pixel” street sculpture depicts a faucet spitting out pixelated water.

The piping sort of reminds me from that secret area in Super Mario Brothers’ where you would press down while in the center of one of the pipes on the first level, and be thrust into a little room pull of gold coins. Bonus round FTW! — Andrew Dobrow
