Testicles That React With Human Touch
Jason Krugman, Stella Kim and Ben Chao have created a set of huge testicles, hung from the ceiling, that react to human touch. The Teste Touch, as it is called, has a built-in temperature sensor that responds to heat as real testicles do. When it comes in contact with something cold the “balls” shrink upwards and when heat is applied to them they simply go downwards.
Additional feature to this New York University exhibition item (ITP showcase) is the tickling sensation in them. When tickled or touched the sac moves and produces giggles.

Waterfalls In New York
It seems that big cities around the world are adding new and interesting attractions. New York is one of those cities and the latest attraction for tourists from around the world would be…waterfalls! Of course we are not referring to the New York State, which hosts Niagara Falls, but the ones that they are going to artificially create in East River and New York Harbor. This feat will cost about $10 million and they will be operational some time in late June till October this year.

The mayor of New York must be copying London’s crazyness regarding cameras. New York City is going to install not only more cameras, but also a hi-tech surveillance system to monitor potential terrorists. People do fear that this will not only be directed towards terrorists but also to spy on ordinary people.

PixelArt Flows In New York Streets
It seems that artists in New York are starting to focus on street art. After the inflatable dog, we now have a new form of art. Pixelart was spotted in the East Village and it is certainly something different from the usual tagging/graffiti.

The Largest Chandelier Made From LED’s
Meyda Tiffany installed in Stanley theatre, New York, the largest chandelier made from LED’s. As the company states the energy saved by using LED’s is very large.
This chandelier has a total of 328 LED’s that use 1120 Watts, as much as a coffee maker, where as if it used conventional bulbs it would need 7435 Watts which is equivalent to 17 refrigerators. We have to note here that these LED’s have a life span of 15 years in contrast to ordinary bulbs that last up to 2 years.
Think of all the energy that we would all save up if we did something similar in our houses.
