retchy.com - 3D Zoetrope
22/06/09 - 3D Zoetrope This project sprang from this one little video I caught on youtube about 6 months ago. It's essentially a 3d zoetrope where the illusion of movement is achieved with the shutter speed of the video camera instead of a strobe light or the slits of a traditional zoetrope. The minute I saw these little guys passing the parcel I knew I had to try this out for myself. I decided to email the guy who made this video, Jim Le Fevre , to see if he could help me out and luckily, he turned out to be a top bloke who shares my willingness to spread knowledge. Basically, he gave me the magic formula to get it working, and saved me having to attempt a lot of horrible maths, so I could just dive right in with the fun stuff.

I work in a broad range of materials and media, making extensive use of new technologies to create works that view the world as energy. A constant dialogue between opposites, my sculptures use light and motion to transform themselves from solid to void, opaque to transparent, formal to organic. My practice takes inspiration from science, oriental and western philosophies and the archetypal images of mythology. My work with text, since the 1960’s in unique objects, live performance and books, explores how language acts as a mirror of our society. I am particularly interested in the interaction between light and matter. In my recent work, I use video as memory encapsulated in light.Basking in the glow of the reception of my undergraduate Lucier notebooks , preparing for the Lucier retirement symposium at Wesleyan in November, or just wallowing in this fit of nostalgia, I've taken the dubious step of scanning and uploading my BA and MA theses. If that's too embarrassing, you can find a selection of my prose scores from this period here . One kid's distillation of the wine of 70s experimentalism -- student work, to be sure, but not without some value as a window on that heady time. Here is my keynote talk from the NIME conference in Sydney in June 2010, as recorded and produced by Cathy Peters at the Australian Broadcast Corporation. You can't see my cute visuals, but I offer well over 1000 words in their stead.

Bio Mapping / Emotion Mapping by Christian Nold
Over the last five years, over 2000 people have taken part in community mapping projects in over 25 cities across the globe. In structured workshops, participants re-explore their local area with the use of a unique device invented by Christian Nold which records the wearer's Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is a simple indicator of emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. On their return, a map is created which visualises points of high and low arousal. The unique methodology of this project involves working with groups of people to interpret and analyse the data and adding annotating onto these individual emotion tracks. Through this process communal Emotion Maps of lots of people's emotion data are constructed which are packed full of personal observations and highlight the issues that people feel strongly about.Serendipity, a sound drift to the origins of modernity. Serendipityis a sound narrative geolocated in the civil cemetery of Ceares, Gijón, Asturias. It is a fragmented story recorded in soundtracks located in this cemetery that proposes to solve a crime that took place in Gijon in the late 19th century. The sound narrative axis is Simona Margarita’s telling, a historian specialized in feminism who is preparing a thesis on the figure of Rosario de Acuña, a mostly unknown feminist Spanish pioneer from the nineteenth century.
