I feel like in 50 to 100 years, when mankind looks back on this era of technology advancement, this is the sort of piece they’ll reference as the moment the computers started making art for us.

I’m normally not one to promote iPhone apps. I don’t spend a lot of time playing on my phone beyond email and instagram, and I never read books on the tiny little screen. But The Silent History is changing things. I downloaded the app yesterday, and after playing around with the format last night I eagerly paid for the additional content.

Released daily, the app tells a story one page at a time. As soon as I woke up this morning, I devoured the first installment. Just released, The Silent History is the first app beyond facebook that I plan on logging into every day. It tells a story of a future where people stop talking. I’d tell you more, but I’m only one page in and I can’t wait to log in tomorrow.

There is so much more to this app, including location based content you can only read / open if you’re nearby. It’s really an incredible experience.

As a side note. The app was designed and developed in a geodesic dome in Cazadero, California. If you’re looking for a new and unique experience, download The Silent History today.

Over the past weekend, I had the absolute thrill and privilege to experience the Blitter Bike. It’s a one of a kind creation, by my good friend Branden Hall, and it’s made to blow minds.

The long and short of it is, as the user drives the Blitter Bike, an animated gif runs behind them. It speeds up and slows down, based on the speed of the biking. It’s intended use is for Burning Man, and “regional burns”… which if you’re unfamiliar I suggest you do a little googling.

Here is where YOU come in! The Blitter Bike needs more animated gifs. Like… a lot more. And I think it would be absofuckinglutely amazing, if during it’s maiden voyage, the bike showcased Faesthetic readers and artists.

All of the info for what Branden needs, can be found here: http://blitterbike.tumblr.com/post/26074228423/give-the-gift-of-gifs

Head on over, and get involved! This is an amazing project, created by an amazing man. Add your own amazement to the cause with an amazing animated gif. We’ll do our best to archive the gifs and project for future posterity.

I want to hate this with all my being, but I’m actually kind of interested to play with it. LetterMpress: A Virtual Letterpress on Your iPad
