Smoke and Mirrors

Hmmm… studio…  a device that reads something about the landscape (garden, shoe, whatever) and gives a readable output which can be used to map the space.  The stranger the better, it seems.  The device doesn’t really have to work, we just have to make up a story that could be plausible at some point.  My device…  combo of sound meter and gaze tracker.  Reads the glance…  creates a map of distraction.  It sounds fine, but it’s been a struggle to create anything.  Some pics below of a piece of the device, some little study models I made of the “output” and a diagram that I made about what’s supposed to be happening.  I have a vid of my eye, but I need to edit it before I can post cuz it appears that I can’t stay awake for more than a minute and my eye surely shows it.
      

 

Some little sketches from Plant Design class…

   

Hybrids…

Having a struggle with trying to make an armature for my camera that has mirrors on it.  I have a base put together, but the mirrors are proving difficult.  I think I will need 5 – behind, ceiling, floor, peripheral right and peripheral left.  I think they need to be adjustable which is part of the problem right now.  What this is going to prove, I’m not sure… I’m starting to waiver on the idea a bit.  Kind of liked the auditory approach that Allen suggested (Brad hinted at it before that too…)  Distortion…  kind of fun.

So I have distraction and distortion…  kind of fitting.
