Re: Wk9 - Translate from the Science Lab to Art
For my project I am collaborating with the Four Eyes Lab (without their knowledge, mind you) on an artistic endeavor based around Augmented Reality and its unrealized possibilities. Shows like Star Trek and those old X-Men cartoons from the 90's promised us huge holo-deck rooms that would map themse...

Re: Wk8 - Vision Lab on Campus
The lab I chose to take inspiration from is the Four Eyes Lab and their research project called "Anywhere Augmentation". The idea is a natural extension from the technology for augmented reality- augmented reality is basically the secondary, digital work that we have grafted on to our own physical o...

Re: Wk05 - Elings Open House OR Review Assigned Paper
I visited the Elings Hall Open House on October 25th, and it was like visiting Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory- but with science! The first exhibit I saw was the Allosphere, a giant spherical room into which video game could be projected onto the walls. Entering the Allosphere reminded me of enterin...

Re: Wk03 - Chronophotography
Etienne-Jules Marey was a pioneering scientist (some would say artist) who was among the first to capture real motion in images. Marey’s experiments have been revolutionary in the field of kinetics, or movement. For example, before Marey, it was debated whether or not a horse lifted all of its legs ...

Re: Wk02 - Photography in Cinema
MIchelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up is about the affect that photography had in contemporary popular culture, and culture in general, told through the more personal story of a photographer uncovering a crime with the use of his craft. Ridley Scott's cult classic Blade Runner is a sci-fi thril...

Re: Wk01 - Camera Obscura
The Camera Obscura (literally translated as “dark room”) is an early predecessor to the camera. The device was composed of a darkened chamber containing a mirror. The chamber had exterior holes where light would enter, reflect off the mirror, and project the image shown by the light through another ...
