Touchgrind by Illusion Labs is making it’s way to your iPhone soon. Making use of the iPhone’s multi-touch interface along with real physics makes this game an innovative player in the iPhone marketplace. Check out the video to see it in action.

Art Futura
Art Futura is a Spanish art festival exploring new media, interactive design, video games and digital animation. Unfortunately it’s over for this year, however you can still check out some of the amazing work displayed.
Play/Create
Play/Create is the digital toy box of award winning designer Daniel Brown. There are some interesting experiments with audio and visual (shockwave player required).
Navigaya
Navigaya is interesting to say the least. It appears to be a browser (inside your browser!) based in Flash. You can view their selected news items or search multiple search engines, all the while with a music video playing in the background. Websites actually open within the application which is really well put together. I’m not sure how useful it is but it sure is pretty.
Daytum
Ever wanted to track some data from your everyday life? Perhaps, perhaps not, but if you do then Daytum is the app to help you do it. Via it’s beautiful layout you can track and graph progress in your daily life in a variety of ways. (via It’s Nice That)
0100101110101101.org
0100101110101101.org is the home of digital rebels Eva and Franco Mattes. Creating compelling digital and physical art since 1998 these two seek to obtain ‘the largest visibility with minimal effort’. Their projects include internet collages, fake artists and a computer virus to name a few. I really enjoy their shock tactics and also the convergence / blurred reality between online and physical life.
Taiwa-Hensokuki
Taiwa-Hensokuki is an installation by Yuko Mohri, where two IBM notebooks ‘converse’ with each other with speech synthesis and speech recognition software. As they continue in this process the original message becomes transformed and distorted (perhaps in the same way as in a game of Chinese whispers).
Pimp My Logo
Pimp My Logo is an awesome motion graphics initiative by Tom Hemeryk. You send in your logo in vector format and Tom will pimp it into a 2 or 3 second motion ident. Some of these idents are absolutely amazing and wouldn’t look out of place on bradcast television.
