[pcomp] fantasy machine
by Greg on Feb.16, 2011, under ICM, ITP, PCOMP
I like the idea of pieces that can dynamically change resolution based on some kind of mechanical manipulation. The hoberman sphere, that shrinking ball game from when i was younger has a unique organic movement i have always been intrigued with. I wonder what it would look like if i took that expanding/compressing movement and placed areas of an image around the surface. When fully extended, the piece would mimic an image exploded, but when the pistons are compressed, the image would increase in resolution, and the image would become clearer. the expansion can be linked to the proximity of a viewer,or maybe a sound or noise.
What does Mary Poppins have to do with ICM?

Dick Van Dyke is many things to many people: wife to Laura Petrie, wise cracking doctor detective, typecast father figure. For me, he will always be bert, the one man band, london street urchin, jack of all trades in Disney’s Mary Poppins.

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.

Expedition 30 Cosmonauts Perform Spacewalk
This image of Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Anton Shkaplerov, both Expedition 30 flight engineers, was taken during a spacewalk on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2012. During the six-hour, 15-minute spacewalk, Kononenko and Shkaplerov moved the Strela-1 crane from the Pirs Docking Compartment in preparation for replacing it in 2012 with a new laboratory and docking module. The duo used another boom, the Strela-2, to move the hand-operated crane to the Poisk module for future assembly and maintenance work. Both telescoping booms extend like fishing rods and are used to move massive components outside the station. On the exterior of the Poisk Mini-Research Module 2, they also installed the Vinoslivost Materials Sample Experiment, which will investigate the influence of space on the mechanical properties of the materials. The spacewalkers also collected a test sample from underneath the insulation on the Zvezda Service Module to search for any signs of living organisms. Both spacewalkers wore Russian Orlan spacesuits bearing blue stripes and equipped with NASA helmet cameras. Image Credit: NASA
