Hatchery

2008-07-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

Just a working title @ this point, but here is the latest idea for the hatchery. I think the Dome is worth enforcing, while really pulling the architecture of the room into the mix. The holes are for tactile access- now thinking they might emit sound when a hand enters them. Ico's ibot might live here in the small dome of A- will be talking to him shortly. This will be fabricated with komatex light grey (a 20% or so grey that I think would be good to paint the space- or at least the angled wall).

Papervision

2008-07-03T08:44:00.001-07:00

The dome project is using papervision 3D
look what it can do with video.

DARC update June 24th.

Dane's Arm piece ready to go, sculptural size still needs some thought.

Steve's armpit will be tested wednesday

Plan for projector and audio placement in the space.

This was the last meeting that took place May 28th. We discussed equipment needs and ideas room layout and what would probably be shown.-Joy

This is one of 6 I will post, please tell us what you think. Remember the video will be shown vertically where the hands looks as if it is pulling something out of the floor.-Joy

on the wild side-eyebot prototype

2008-06-20T08:18:00.000-07:00

This is an example of Ico prototype eyebot. I believe it will be running though some of the materials as a uniforming thread. However anyone is welcome to clarify that for me.

Projection Placement Refinements

2008-06-12T10:19:00.000-07:00

I have some refinements to the projection placements that speak to the architecture a bit more- using the space, sight lines and angles more effectively.

Fluid examples

2008-05-27T21:50:00.000-07:00

This is one of the examples I did last summer on fluids. I am creating some more this month as well as June. I would like to combine them with some of the animated creatures. If any one has a take on how they would like to incorporate this into an animated piece or I could try in a crude way to make this a viable interactive piece.

Projection Placement

2008-05-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

Allow me to out do you Ico with and even quicker-and-dirtier set of images. We thought this would be a good placement of our elements. I am going to ask if we can add a light barrier partition to reduce light pollution from the entrance (good thinking Simone!)The long wall (hall/entry side) is still open. We also have a projector... and work from Joy- Simone and Joy are going to develop a video for this, the sixth visual element to the exhibition.

arm-pit-bot (or something like that)

2008-05-26T16:56:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick-n-dirty-work-in-progress-screen-grab of the arm-pit-bot action (NB: the movie has a 3x4 aspect ratio that is apparently disliked by the World'o'Webby Web 2.0, hence if you do not wish to lose your eyesight trying to decipher what the heck those little pixels at the bottom of the screen are, you may want to click on the video and watch it directly via YouTube, or better yet, download a 16MB Quicktime by clicking here).

Post Video? sure can

2008-05-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

Use embed option from youtube or just upload direct

Promo image

2008-05-23T05:52:00.000-07:00

This is the latest promo image. The picture show the team members and the project REVO/OVER as it stands at the end of summer 2007.
A lot has changed but I still think we need to use the model created by Dane - but get
rid of the pop corn critters.

Ball Robot Rebuild

2008-05-23T05:38:00.000-07:00

My remodel of Ico's robot- it might have too big of a poly count to use in papervision 3D for flash but it looks OK.

Today we installed watchout
We have had a little trouble networking the machines but we will resolve the situation tomorrow.
Also Charles Wood gave us a demo of our new camera, the panasonic HVX 200
Thanks Charles.
The project is forming, we have a working idea????

‘Bipedantic’

2007-05-06T09:24:00.000-07:00

On Friday I went to the opening of Eric’s new show. ‘Bipedantic’ at the
Craddock-Terry gallery, 901 Jefferson Street Lynchburg. (info@riverviews.net)
It was good to see Eric’s work in such a nice space and the work itself sparked a lively discussion on our drive home.
What perhaps remains etched in my mind is the repetitive circle patters on many surfaces of Eric’s newer work;
The large floor prints, the lace engraved wall rock pieces and the walking on water projection (although this work showed the wake of the walk I saw the similarities in the patterns).
I am reminded of watching insects landing on calm water surfaces and the rock art of past eons. Eric seems to have mapped unseen forces or movements of time.
The stone slippers offered a seeming contradiction of comfort and disaster. Are we weighed down by our desire for relaxation or is relaxing no comfort at all because we need to work?

Congratulations Eric, good show.

Why not blog?

2007-05-03T05:58:00.000-07:00

Dear DARCers
I know that this is a busy time for most members but I thought a simple blog might be a way to share ideas or to get our feet wet so to speak.
