The Robot Hall of Fame

http://www.robothalloffame.org/

Karakuri Info
Japan’s love of robots lies in the history of the ‘Karakuri Ningyo’. Until now there has been little interest from outside Japan regarding the Karakuri Ningyo craft, and its influence on technology and the arts. The word 'Karakuri' means a mechanical device to tease, trick, or take a person by surprise. It implies hidden magic, or an element of mystery.

U.S. National Library of Medicine's Dream Anatomy
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/dreamanatomy/da_dream_part.html
In the late 1600s, a new anatomical art-form emerged: the specimen. Anatomists began to collect and exhibit bodies and body parts. Their specimens were real—and they dazzled viewers. Like wax and marble, the human body served as a sculptural medium. The anatomist preserved this material, and then colored, costumed, and arranged it in glass cases or free-standing displays.

Unnatural Science
http://www.massmoca.org/visual_arts/
past_exhibitions/visual_arts_past_2000.html

The art in Unnatural Science exploits scientific narratives, practices and aesthetics. Humorous and irreverent, though scientifically well-informed, these recent installations, sculptures, video works, and photographs owe much to the playful art of Marcel Duchamp, Alfred Jarry and Raymond Roussel in their use of science as a springboard for fantasy. The explorations of botany, genetics, chemistry, physics and other sciences are both poetic and profound, beautiful and visionary. Drawn from the collections of artists, galleries and museums all over the world, the works in Unnatural Science hail a significant trend in contemporary art - one that not only demystifies, but also poeticizes science.

A Case for Web Storytelling
by Curt Cloninger -- style is more than various methods of typographical presentation, and content is more than the literal words in a paragraph that some marketing guy wrote. Style is a comprehensive site-wide look and feel that includes graphics, animation, audio, and any number of other media besides just text. And content is an idea, an angle, surely conveyable in text, but also conveyable in these other, more rich, media.

Visual and Concrete Poetry
Text is often an integral part of a mail artwork. Sometimes the text takes the form of concrete or visual poetry. A visual poem is a poem where the visual presentation is an intrinsic part of the poem. The poem should not be able to stand alone without the visual presentation and vice versa. Poetry and presentation should be a synergistic unified whole. In concrete poetry the words or letters of the poem are arranged to form images that add meaning to the text.
