Hasta La Ideas

Returning to New York after last year’s success, we caught up with gadget blog Gizmodo editor and tech junkie Brian Lam for a personal tour of the Gizmodo Gallery. Packed with DIY interactive creations, vintage gadgets, weird and expensive devices, a huge tv, and an automatic pancake making machine (awesome), the highlight for us was Austin band ArcAttack and their daily performances with sound producing telsa coils.

Part educational and part nostalgic, the exhibition was mostly about hands-on entertainment and an opportunity to geek out over some seriously cool gadgets. We got to play with o2 creative solutions’ Sketch-3D, a giant Etch-A-Sketch that can draw in 3D using a Wii-like controller to navigate, and amongst some of the guest-curated items lent for the show was Apple’s Original iPhone prototype, 1983, from Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog design.
