Hyped: The Week In Links 12/2

On the blog this week we met a smell-making robot, learned about Abdel Bounane‘s new venture in customizable video games (are we seeing a new tailormade gaming trend emerge?), were wowed by Sergio Albiac’s new generative video portraits, and said hello to new data humanist Creator Aaron Koblin.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the web:

· Holy animated comic book covers, Batman! Kerry Callen gives Tony Stark the DTs and drenches Spidey in water in a series of animated comic book cover gifs.

· Holla! Sony created a real-time, projection-mapped, holodeck-style immersive movie (above) for a PS3 ad campaign. It’s impressive.

· The first feature film to be entirely shot on a smartphone will be released in time for Christmas.

· Rule Britannia: A selection of shorts from new British talent shown at this year’s onedotzero Adventures in Motion festival.

· Art and the singularity: Swiss architect’s installation is built by flying robots—drones will assemble 1,500 polystyrene foam bricks to build a 3.5 metre wide structure.
