The Neuron Chamber — Fabracation Photos 3 — The Last Long Night
{Set 1 Set 2 Set 3} They say the night is darkest just before the dawn. Well that was true for the crew of The Neuron Chamber. We had a few long nights of fabracation on this project but none was more intense (or perhaps as fun) as the final […]
I want to belive ….
Moon-walker claims alien contact cover-up I can’t decided if this would be a better story if it was a different moon-walker.

Steampunk in Design Observer
Okay. Yesterday, I went to one of my daily link fishing holes and found a link to an interview with me. Today, I went to one of my faviorate design blogs — Design Observer — and found a post about Steampunk quoting none other then my pal Sean Orland and […]
Shadow Sign
When I was an undergraduate at NYU I once saw this fantastic sculpture in a window of one of the many down town buildings that the university owns. The sculpture was compsed of a massive tangel of thick, stiff wire that was mounted on a blank wall and well lit […]

The Neuron Chmamber — Fabracation Photos 2: The Giggles
{ Set 1 Set 2 Set 3} When The Neuron Chamber showed last week at The Crucibles Fire Arts Festivle one aspect of the piece that generated some of the strongest reactions (both positive and negative) was the shade of purple what we painted the whole piece. Bellow I’ve posted […]
House No.1 after 2.66 seconds
Wired has a great sideshow of stunning images of nuclear blasts. Operation Upshot-Knothole, conducted at the Nevada Proving Ground between March 17 and June 4, 1953, consisted of 11 atmospheric tests: three airdrops, seven tower tests and one airburst. Upshot-Knothole involved the testing of new theories, using both fission and […]
The Inverted Machine by Ralf Baecker
The inverted machine – Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space) is a light-weight sculpture, constructed from sticks, strings and little plumbs. At the same time it is a full functional logic exact neural network. Be sure to check out the video of this fantastic work by following the link above. Neural Networks, […]
un besoin naturel
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has wondered these things about the Tour de France: The riders temper their competitiveness with an elaborate but unwritten code of conduct and superstition. When possible, a rider is allowed to lead through his village or on his birthday. It is considered […]

{set 1 Set 2 Set 3 } So I was way too deep in some grinder-dust induced madness to post photos of The Neuron Chamber while we were fabricating it but now that I have emerged from the dark of NIMBY, re-interfaced with my computer and dusted off the camera […]

Almost Scientific in Make
Make has picked up the Steampunk Workshop interview. They pulled this quote: To me, science is largely about taking concrete aspects of the world and abstracting so that they can be communicated. I would spend weeks and months working on my thesis and the result would be some bit of […]

I’m still recovering from finishing and showing The Neuron Chamber and will have the final round of photos form it up soon! Portrait of a mad scientist: Alan Rorie of Almostscientific.com Meredith […]
The Neuron Chamber — The Update You’ve Been Waiting For
I have momentarily emerged from the shop with dirty, shredded hands and am shocked at how much time has past. Haven’t been able/willing/ready/interested in documenting too much on this one. I promise I’ll have some photos of my own soon. The show is in a week or so. Here are […]
The Neuron Chamber — Some Asssembly Required
Lot’s of parts getting made — too tired and busy to write anything more then this: I know you only look at the pictures anyhow, so enjoy.
