We’re happy to catch sight of LA Game Space popping up across the web. More than just a one-off project, the creators hope to develop an interdisciplinary venue for design, research, and play in the heart of Los Angeles’ arts district.
LA Game Space - Kickstarter
Ambitious yet exciting project looking for funding - a creative gaming Bauhaus to educate, develop and push the video game into a forward thinking artform:
Game design has always featured creativity and experimentation, from the earliest pioneers to the recent rise of independent creators. And yet, we have barely begun to explore the potential of video games.
Let’s create a place for exploring that potential. A place for game innovation, education, and exhibition, where all of us can play and make and study and showcase games. A place where we will rediscover what games have been, and re-imagine what games can be.
Join us in founding LA Game Space!

It’s one small hop for a rocket, but one giant leap for reusable rocket ships: A private rocket prototype has sailed through a 6-foot hop that, while short, marked a in a major test for a novel reusable launch system being developed by commercial spaceflight company SpaceX.

The solar energy designers at Rawlemon have created a spherical, sun-tracking glass globe that is able to concentrate sunlight (and moonlight) up to 10,000 times. The company claims that its ß.torics system is 35% more efficient than traditional dual-axis photovoltaic designs, and the fully rotational, weatherproof sphere is even capable of harvesting electricity from moonlight.
Nuclear fusion is very close to the point where the amount of energy produced by the system equals or surpasses what’s been put in.
