TheIndyChannel.com - News - Police: Stolen Video Game Machines May Be No Good: "INDIANAPOLIS -- Police say many of the video game systems that were stolen from a warehouse Tuesday night were in the process of being returned because they didn't work.

Authorities said two masked males bound three employees with duct tape before stealing several hundred PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game machines from the warehouse (pictured, left), located in the 3300 block of Pagosa Court.

An employee said one of the robbers had a handgun. No suspects were named Wednesday.

Marion County sheriff's investigators said the machines were at the warehouse because they had been returned, RTV6's Jack Rinehart reported Wednesday.

When the robbers had left, one of the workers managed to call 911.

RTV6 obtained a recording of the 911 call.

'When I came to the door, they pulled my hood over my head and knocked me to the ground,' a worker told a 911 dispatcher. 'Then they duct-taped me up, and I couldn't do anything.'

Police estimated that the robbers were inside the building for 20 or 30 minutes to steal the machines.

The robbers used at least two forklifts to load six pallets onto a waiting truck, police said."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
