SmartBird is an ultralight but powerful flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds – one of the oldest dreams of humankind.
This bionic technology-bearer, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start, fly and land autonomously — with no additional drive mechanism. Its wings not only beat up and down, but also twist at specific angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of this model from nature.
Leviathan worked with frequent collaborator and renowned VJ Vello Virkhaus on groundbreaking performance visuals for electronic musician Amon Tobin, creating ethereal CG narratives and engineering the geometry maps for an entire stage of stacked cube-like structures. Taking the performance further, the Leviathan team also developed a proprietary projection alignment tool to ensure quick and accurate setup for the show, along with custom Kinect control & visualization utilities for Amon to command.
David Crow discusses the invention of the AIDS virus and the research material that suggests that it's time to start rethinking AIDS and HIV. David was one of the founders of the Green Party of Alberta, he edited their newsletter for over a decade, was the party's president until October 2004, and the party's Chief Financial Officer until December 2008. Crowe is also the founder of the Alberta Reappraising AIDS Society, he's on the advisory council of Another Look AND in 2008 David was appointed president of Rethinking AIDS. In this program we talk about the postponed Rethinking AIDS 2011 conference in Washington DC and how difficult it has been to raise awareness about this critical issue that examines the AIDS/HIV problem from an alternative perspective.
