Re: w10 & w11 Final Project
"Does It Feel Crowded In Here To You?" A wall installation comprised of nano-scale biosensors that detect airborne pathogens and a display that tells passersby just what kinds of pathogens are floating around them this very instant - a reminder of the power of the invisible ecosystem that surrounds ...

Re: w09 Final Work-In-Progress
My installation consists of a single wall-sized array (covering the entire wall) of nanocantilever biosensors ( http://www.purdue.edu/uns/html4ever/2006/060828.Bashir.nanocant.html ), each one set to detect a different kind of virus or other lurking biological entity (bacteria etc.). Each sensor (or...

Re: w08 Expand the Vision
1. Thermography - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation - that is wavelengths of between 9.000 and 14.000 nanometers. All objects warmer than absolute zero give off this kind of radiation; the warmer an object, the more radiation it emits, so the...

Re: w07 Art Technology Science Culture Research
1. Leonel Moura, Swarm Sculptures (2000) This sculpture is the product of artificial ‘ant-like’ algorithms, whose movements (and their ‘deposit of pheromone trails’ along the way) were analysed and translated into a three-dimensional object made of plexiglas. This took much trial and error as the an...

Re: w05 What is an Image" harold Cohen
Cohen says that, firstly, an image's creation includes the "undenied assumption of human will": someone intended to create it. So many examples of this are available; for example, it's fairly clear to see from the sheer organization of information that the Mona Lisa was the product of human will, as...

Re: w04 Classification
I found these five images by doing a Google search for 'image of the day' or 'photo of the day' and selecting a few image links that sounded like they would produce very different images. Classification attributes: 1. Each of these images include some sort of plant life: 1) octopus: seaweed 2) newt ...

Re: w03 Roland Barthes
yamahalollipop.jpg The ' Corporate World ' image I selected is an advertisement for Yamaha certified used motorcycles. The most obvious level of meaning found here is the non-coded iconic layer: we see a photograph of a golden-yellow lollipop, which is moulded into the shape of a fairly-detailed mo...

Re: w02 Chronophotography & Marey
Marey's work with chronophotographs and the step-by-step capture and analysis of the many parts of an act of motion is interesting in that it intends to do quite the opposite of 'cinema' - while cinema aimed to capture and replay life/action as humans might observe it in everyday life, Marey's chron...
