Fly a ‘real’ helicopter on YouTube
Here is a YouTube experience with a difference from the Royal New Zealand Airforce. It’s part advergame, part digital installation and part old school scale model all tied together via a live streaming, fly-wire (if that’s what you call it!?) webcam, controlled through the YouTube game.
Basically, they’ve given users the ability to fly a virtual helicopter (webcam) across a real world scale model of a battlefield, throwing in challenges and objectives along the way, that are shown on your HUD screen. You’ll use the keyboard for simple flying controls as you drop off supplies (among other things) and avoid crashing into mountain ranges.

Very cool installation called Metropolis II. By Chris Burden.
Sebastien Preschoux’ Thread Installations
I used to do this in my bedroom when I was a kid, never thought of it as a form of art though. Sebastien Preschoux manages to create a very techno feel using only natural material (thread, duh) in a natural environment. Nice!
Nemore
Nemore is a fascinating interactive installation consisting of 36 bendable graphite poles. It senses the visitors presence and reacts accordingly, by bending its poles.
Created by Fishing for Compliments (=Jan Bernstein, Max Kickinger, Woeishi Lean, Sebastian Neitsch).
