Robot - The Chinese Nightingale - Avian Android
Check out these cool looking bird androids! There a video here too.
Taking “The Chinese Nightingale”, a tale of Hans Christian Andersen, as a startingpoint to delevop an individual view on the topic of mechanical reproduction of a living organism. The chant of the nightingale, famous for its beautiful and unique sound, is being serialized and reduced to its very essence. The power of reproduction and massproduction is indirect porportional to the intesity of the auratic experience of the natural phenomenon. Seperating, isolating, synthetisizing and multiplying the avian voice is resulting in deconstruction of the original experience of listening to a “singing bird” and confuses with this unusual performance.

Check out this interesting red rotary phone from sparkfun. It looks like a regular phone but
actually you can put your cellphone sim card in and use it wireless for about 4-5 hours. Lots of
possibilities seems to be there for modding and hacking it.
This is the ever popular Portable Rotary Phone, now in Red! Phone comes fully assembled and tested. All you have to do is open the phone, insert your SIM card, and turn the unit on! The unit will utilize your phone number and account minutes. Phone dials out like normal through the rotary. Incoming calls ring the original, loud, gong style metal bells. Please note: As with all cellular phones, there is no dial tone. While we thoroughly enjoying taking the Port-O-Rotary out on the town, please realize the sound quality will not be as good as your pocket phone.

The battery can run the phone for 4-5 days and is charged by unscrewing two screws on the bottom of the phone, opening it, and attaching the charger.
