Another big announcement! The Neuron Chamber has been invited to Dublin, Ireland, this winter to participate in Lightwave 2009. Lightwave is a event at the Science Gallery, which is a science and art space, associated with Trinity College. Check out some of the fantastic work that was featured at Lightwave […]
Michael Rauner Photographs Almost Scientific at Fire Arts
Photographer Michael Rauner took some cool photos of some of my work (The Triaparator, The Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator and The Neuron Chamber) at the Fire Arts show. He also as some great shots of the Steampunk Treehouse and KSW. You can see his whole gallery from the show here. Below […]
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 […]
The Neuron Chamber – Fabracation Photos 1
{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 […]
The Neuron Chamber
Here is a photo of The Neuron Chamber at it’s first showing at The Crucibles Fire Arts Festival. More to come! Be sure to check out the Fabrication Photos: Set 1 Set 2 Set 3
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.
The Neuron Chamber — Fabracation Extravaganza
Hello all my fine friends. We’ve been hard at work fabricating the chamber of The Neuron Chamber and I’ve got some photos to prove it. For this piece, since it was so exquisitely designed in Solidworks and we are on a tight time line I’ve had a majority of the […]
Make a Mad, Mad, Mad Neuron
So here I am making this sculpture of neurons in an observation chamber and I keep spitting out these technical terms: axon, dendrites, cell body … to describe different components of the sculpture and no one who is working with me has any idea what I am saying. So for […]
The Neuron Chamber — Hemispheres, Pentagon and Axon
One of the most curious moments in my artistic process is when I switch from thinking about the piece in terms of the clean CAD work and begin to deal with the messy, real world materials that are really going to make it up. I once saw an interview with […]
The Neuron Chamber — Spike/Arc Puller Proof Of Concept
As I mentioned in the original post describing The Neuron Chamber one of the core elements is a completely original, technically challenging, electric/kinetic effect that we are developing specifically for this project. The goal is to pull an electric arc though an complex, horizontal curve. Think of it as horizontal […]
The Neuron Chamber — Final CAD Drawings
So the project is a go. I got the offical word at the end of last week that The Neuron Chamber is going to be at The Crucibles Fire Arts Festivle. Also, they have provided some generous funding. The final CAD work is locked in and almost all the parts […]
The Neuron Chamber — CAD Drawings
Well I bet you are getting tired of reading about the Steampunk Treehouse and The Dihemispheric Chronaether Agitator, huh? Well you are in luck because it’s looking like I am going to be starting work on a new project that I hinted about a few days ago. The new piece […]
