Waves , Semiconductor






Waves by Daniel Palacios

'Waves' utilizes a basic construction of a long piece of elastic string and two motors to visualize the presence of people close to the installation. The string between the two motorized chambers reacts to the people presence and movements, it twirls to produce a sine-wave simulation that eloquently resembles both the digitization of real-time sound waves and patterns of flow and connectivity found in natural systems.

The simple act of making the "invisible" visible can produce profound effects in both our understanding of the world around us and the close relationship we have to the natural and built environment that we occupy daily. Although the project may seem like a simple visualization of intangible forms, it nevertheless connects to our visceral side by creating unique sound output and striking visual stimuli that engage with "persistence of vision" and our connection to the spaces we occupy and their sonic and electromagnetic inhabitants.

Node (computer science)



node is a record consisting of one or more fields that are links to other nodes, and a data field. The link and data fields are often implemented by pointers or references although it is also quite common for the data to be embedded directly in the node. Nodes are used to build linked, often hierarchical, data structures such as linked liststrees, and graphs. Large and complex data structures can be formed from groups of interlinked nodes. Nodes are conceptually similar to vertices, which are elements of a graph. Software is said to have a node graph architecture when its organization consists of interlinked nodes.


Science of Node


Anatomy A small mass or lump of body tissue that either occurs naturally, as in the case of lymph nodes, or is a result of disease. Botany a. A point on a stem where a leaf is or has been attached. b. A swelling or lump on a tree; a knob or knot. Physics A point or region of a vibrating or oscillating system, such as the standing wave of a vibrating guitar string, at which the amplitude of the vibration or oscillation is zero. Harmonic frequencies in oscillating systems always have nodes. Compare antinode. Astronomy a. Either of the two points on the celestial sphere at which the path of a revolving body, such as the Moon, a planet, or a comet, intersects the ecliptic. 
 The point at which the body traverses from south of the ecliptic to north is the ascending node. The opposite point, when the body traverses the ecliptic from north to south, is the descending node. b. Either of the two points at which the orbit of an artificial satellite intersects the equatorial plane of the planet it is orbiting. Computer Science A computer or a peripheral that is connected to a network.

 20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. 
 Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

Our method is the new perspective of view, make visibility from invisible thing, like sound, air, wave, something something.
And through the  upper project, I could know how our sight is limited and restricted by our perception.

A pioneer of video art and multimedia installations, Bill Viola was recognized this
year with one of the world's most prestigious cultural distinctions, the Japan Art 

Association's Praemium Imperiale culture prize. Although Viola's works are often 
described as "moving paintings," they engage with a broad set of concerns 
developing from both an interest in what motivates human behavior and 
expression, as well as from a consideration of the specifics of medium and place, 
and the relations between artwork and viewer. As much as they create memorable 
or even iconic images - images that could be paintings - Viola's recent videos 
move in and out of time, extending an on-screen action for what can feel like an 
eternity through the use of slow motion, or dramatically redefining what at first 

appears to be an eternal image through the introduction of sudden, fleeting 
action, 

and it is often this aspect of the works - their use of images to facilitate a deep experience of time - that leaves the strongest impression on the viewer.

Muybridge - A work in motion



The T-shirt Issue, The T-shirt Issue NO419 

Hande Akcayli, Murat Koçyigit and Linda Kostowski back with another series of spectacular t-shirts. Their Muybridge installation is a study set out to capture temporal change in 3D. A three-step sequence of a bird spreading its wings is reconstructed and sculpted into T-Shirts. As the change in the wings' position is a function of time, each wing's plumage is reduced to polygonal form, modeled and rigged into successive arrangements to portray the spreading motion. As its name suggests, the study leans on Eadweard Muybdridge's photography work in the late 1800s, with which he pioneered in the field of capturing animal and human locomotion. In the version designed by The T-Shirt Issue, shape and fractional motion are interpreted through jersey garments. The t-shirts capture a movement that happens in the bat of an eye and perpetuate it by material augmentation.

Muybridge, Bird in flight, c 1872-1885











Can you describe the fabrication process of one of those wings? 

 After intensive observational research, the wings were sculpted with 3D software. In doing so, each wing was inserted with a skeleton, a framework that allows the wings to be animated. The movement resulting from this defined the key frames of the motion. These 3D objects were unfolded with software that turns them into the two dimensional patterns we use as draft for building the paper and fabric pieces. Every object has reams of paper model twins, which are used as prototypes to see what happens to the object when it moves from the screen to the "real world". After the pattern was made, the fabric was cut out with a laser and ready for assembly. The last part of the process, the sewing, is done with such elaborate craft that it's almost haute couture./
