Full screening notes:
Max Almy, Perfect leader, (1983), 4 mins. 15 secs.
A satire of the political television spot, Perfect Leader shows that ideology is the product and power is the payoff. The process of political image making and the marketing of a candidate is revealed, as an omnipotent computer manufactures the perfect candidate, offering up three political types: Mr. Nice Guy, an evangelist, and an Orwellian Big Brother. Behind the candidates, symbols of political promises quickly degenerate into icons of oppression and nuclear war.
Greg Barth, Epic Fail, (2017), 5 mins. 32 secs.
Epic Fail is an avant-garde essay that questions what happens when political discourse fails to connect with voters, and truth is impacted by fake news. Based on the political events that shook 2016, the film imagines a reality that is both forged and blurred depending on how we perceive it; using existential currents inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s Nausea.
The result is a surreal political satire that revolves around a vote for world peace that has dramatic consequences.
John Butler, Xerox’s Paradox, (2018), 2 mins.
A new workwear collection for the age of intelligent supertasking. Xerox’s fear of a paperless office led to the GUI, which, in turn, led to an explosion in the amount of printed matter. Xerox’s Paradox is about technology’s broken promises. The more we automate, the harder we must work.
Jennifer Chan, *A Total Jizzfest*, (2012), 3 mins. 22 secs.
A sample of the richest, sexiest men in computer and internet history.
Chloé Galibert-Laîné, My Crush was a Superstar, (2017), 12 mins. 30 secs.
This desktop documentary follows an ISIS fighter through a trail of messages, videos and postings to uncover his existence in both social media and reality. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.
Elaine Hoey, Animated Positions, (2019), 9 mins. 47 secs.
This work draws reference from 19th century European nationalist paintings and explores the role of art in the portrayal of jingoistic patriotic ideals that have become culturally symbolic in the formation of the nation state. This piece re-animates the war like stances and positions of bodies found within these paintings, using character animation taken from the video game Call of Duty. The work challenges notions of nostalgia for the nation state, creating a contemporary critique of the underlying violence that underpins much of todays nationalistic ideologies.
Shawné Michaelain Holloway, GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4, (2016), 1 min. 55 secs.
GEAR-REVIEW(1)__BEGINNERS-VEST.MP4 is a response to internet’s “Gear Review” video genre. Using a video sourced from Youtube’s preparedness community alongside a video of the artist performing live for her leather community, this work asks questions about the ways we get to know, use, and care for our objects. Whether them for war, for sex, or both, we’re obsessed with function and feature, forcing fetish into the realm of the domestic and accessible.
Shelley Lake, Polly Gone, (1988), 3 min. 9 secs.
A day in the life of a robot.
Kevin B. Lee, The Spokesman, (2018), 12 mins. 30 secs.
The Spokesman investigates the online traces of John Cantlie, a British news reporter who was kidnapped in 2012 and later appeared in several Islamic State propaganda videos. Responding to Cantlie’s videos, Kevin analyzes Cantlie’s British accent and professional composure, constructed over many years of media appearances. Part of Bottled Songs, a series of video letters investigating desire, power and terrorism in online and social media. The videos, recorded from the researchers’ desktops, depict and interrogate their subjects’ compulsive engagement in the production of everyday myths and fictions about themselves and others.
Emily Mulenga, Now that we know the world is ending soon…what are you gonna wear?, (2019), 4 mins. 5 secs
Religious imagery and symbols of capitalist excess intertwine under the ever-watchful eye of CCTV cameras. Loneliness occurs even in the most crowded, noisy and colourful of rooms. Fractured identities span the online and offline worlds. Late-stage capitalism has left us with a disconnect from others and from a spiritual centre, and consumerism purports to fill the void; but never truly satisfies. There’s a condition of perpetual information overload in an oversaturated, neon, dystopian cityscape. There’s also a rabbit.
Jenny Odell, Polly Returns, (2017), 3 mins. 2 secs.
Polly Returns is based on Shelley Lake’s 1988 computer animation, Polly Gone, which features an isolated female robot doing everyday tasks inside a futuristic dome house. In my version, the robot has returned in 2017. The soundtrack is inspired by the original from Polly Gone, which itself was based on the soundtrack from The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Georgie Roxby Smith, Lara Croft Domestic Goddess I & II, (2013), 2 mins. 14 secs.
Georgie Roxby Smith’s hacked Lara Croft Tomb Raider video game shows the familiar icon for violent femme fatale bad-assery in the throes of orgasmic housekeeping, a scene that could be read as neo-Friedan, with her “domestic goddess” subject trapped between the banally physical and the extraordinarily virtual. The value judgments are unclear, the equation destabilized, as Croft joyfully irons shirts with a bow and arrow slung over her back, letting out cries that are undiscernibly battle grunts or orgiastic moans.

Large temporary tent erected just for Oktoberfest. This Hacker-Pschorr tent had capacity for 9,300. A "Maß" (liter, pronounced "Mas") of beer was about 9 EUR.
I use my iPhone to SSH into my computers at an Internet Cafe. All the computers run a form of Linux or Mac OS X.
I have AJAX enabled webcams to view in Mobile Safari. If there are unruly customers, I can easily run "init 6" and reboot.
Pretty incredible. The Iphone is a great remote admin tool.

I know, this is like tricking out a Ford Taurus Station Wagon. But hey, sometimes you just gotta work with what ya got. And I got a pair of 3700s. Besides, this flash is 20+ years old. I figured if I killed it doing this that would give me a good excuse to buy a new flash, maybe something built in this century : )
(When I first got into photography I chose these over a 283 because they had the same power, but they also had the 'Interchangeable Dedicated Module. At the time that sounded very impressive. Oh well, live and learn).
After reading all the posts about modding the Vivitar 283's for Variable Power I thought I'd try something similar with a Vivitar 3700 Flash. From what I've read Vivitar does make a Vari-Power Module for these flashes. But I have NEVER seen one on either ebay OR Google.
It was quite simple. I mounted a Closed-Circuit 1/8 Jack (Radio Shack Part # 274-0248) in the 'module'. I spliced it into the two wires going to the sensor on the front. The closed-circuit jack interrupts and re-directs the circuit. (Think about the stereos and boomboxes where the speakers cut out when you plugged the headphones in.) I connected the red wire (which I presumed was the 'hot' wire) to the switched side of the plug.
Then I mounted a 100k pot (Radio Shack Part # 271-0092) in a small Radio Shack Project Box, attacked a length of speaker wire to the pot, attached a 1/8 plug to the other end of the wire. And I now have a removable Vari-Power Control.
With the control unplugged all the settings on the flash work normally. When I plug the control in I get variable power from full power to about 1/64 power (or so it seems with a quick test).
As the jack is wired into the sensor unit on the front of the flash I have to set the flash to one of the 'auto dedicated f-stop' settings on the back. (This module has three of them). Then I can use the control unit and adjust the power from the auto f-stop selected up to full power.
Here are some of the Flash Meter readings I took with a Sekonic L-508 Zoom Master Meter:
(Set Up- Flash and Meter set to 100 ISO. Meter about 5 feet from flash. Flash powered by a Quantum 1+ battery. 10 seconds between flashes. Fired via Cactus V4).
(Try this with your own flash. See exactly how accurate those 'Auto' settings are)
With the Control Unplugged
Flash - - - Meter
Setting - Reading
F/2 - - - - - F/2
F/4 - - - - - F/2.8
F/8 - - - - - F/4
Full
Power - - F/16
1/16
Power - - F/4
With the control plugged in and the flash set to the auto F/2 setting:
Dial all the way left - - F/2
Dial all the way right - - F/16
At various settings in between I got the expected range of power somewhat consistent with where the dial was set. Just over half way I got F/11. So all the lower stops (F/2.8 - 8) were in the first 1/2 turn of the dial. I haven't taken the time to pinpoint where on the dial each stop was yet..
I repeated the tests with a piece of black tape over the sensor just to make sure it was not active with the control plugged in. With the control unplugged and the flash set for F/2 I would get a full power flash if I covered the sensor. With the control plugged in it made no difference if the sensor was covered or not.
I would presume this would work with just about any flash. If you decide to try it I offer no guarantees on your flash if it dies when you do this.
This photo shoot was an amazing use of taxpayer dollars. According to the Navy, this is what computer hackers look like.

Groups of hackers sit around waiting for the staff to mop up the rain, get the roof to close and let us back in to continue to hack. Anyone got some spare internet connectivity?

One major problem with minilathes -- when making a cut, the tool holder may drift along the x or y axes. Nicer lathes include a locking mechanism to prevent this sort of drift, and so I've added them to my minilathe.
Added a lock screw to the Y-axis.
I drilled and tapped a 5/16-18 hole in just the right place. When I tighten this bolt, it presses against the Y-ways, so that the tool holder will not drift along the Y-axis.

Should Canada host an American wanted on child-pornography charges in Tennessee? He fled to Canada earlier this year with his parents and sought refugee protection, claiming that he faces the possibility of persecution back home because of his affiliation with the online hacking group Anonymous? I say deport this punk!!

Those copper brewing kettles are still in use. There were about ten of them in this room, one next to another. It was so warm.
And it smelled awesome!

Of course, there's a drain and p-trap coming down from the sink and going back to the wall, so, in order to make the drawers functional, I had to shorten them. This wasn't particularly difficult - cut the drawer base to the desired depth, cut grooves in the sides to receive the drawer back, drill 4 holes to attach the drawer back with the original plastic ikea hardware. Works just like it did before only the drawers are a little less than half as deep. It's a lot better than nothing, though, and my wife uses the top drawer as countertop space when she's getting ready in the morning because our vanity is so small.
Op 9 juni 2017 vond in de Tweede Kamer in Den Haag de tweede editie van Accountability Hack plaats, een hackathon waar met open data de prestaties van de overheid in kaart worden gebracht. Accountability Hack is een initiatief van de Algemene Rekenkamer en de Tweede Kamer samen met het CBS en de ministeries van Binnenlandse Zaken, Buitenlandse Zaken, Financiën en Infrastructuur en Milieu. De hackathon werd georganiseerd in samenwerking met Open State Foundation. Kijk voor meer informatie op accountabilityhack.nl/
