This is the finished product. I love the way this came out. There's something Iconic about that blue police box. I purposefully chose the narrower profile Tardis from the earlier serials.

When I first brought this to Brickfest in 2007, I was off in a corner pulling it out of the box, and two British dudes came hurrying over from across the convention hall. They immediately sympathized with how long it must have taken to build, seeing as how the inside is bigger than the outside.

I would like to revisit this someday and make the current proportions, but for now I leave it alone as that it was one of my first Lego sculptures.

Ice cube machine by Michaelanlego Bricks

14

Doc's Barn in the Movie "Back to the Future 3" was made with LEGO, featuring the ice cube maker!

The building instruction is in Rebrickable.

Doc's lab in 1885 was built on two 32x32 baseplates. The front area includes the famous ice cube maker and train model. The rear area is his living quarter. The garage in front of the ice cube maker is compatible with "LEGO 21103 The DeLorean Time Machine" (not included in the instruction or part list).

Hope you like this minifig-scale build!

"I apologize the crudity of this model."

Life Cast Projection Test by Fabrice Florin

1

My friend Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) would like to bring characters to life by projecting videos of human faces onto her ‘life casts’ of David Bowie, Sean Connery and John Cleese.

On a quiet sunday afternoon, we gathered in my studio to experiment with this idea, with the help of our friend Mark Petrakis (a.k.a. Dr. Zboon). For our first test, we used a video of my interview with Jean’s daughter Natalina (a.k.a. Dr. Canard), and projected it onto the David Bowie and Sean Connery life casts, as well as on a plain mannequin head. We also shot original video footage of Mark and projected it on the same life casts, along with some facial expressions.

The results of this first test were very encouraging, as you can see in these photos:

… and in this companion video:

We would like to apply this projection mapping technique to our Time Machine art project. One idea is to project the faces of historical figures onto these ‘life casts.’ They could be set in a dark box behind of the Time Machine’s porthole. Opening the porthole would reveal an animated face from the past, which would speak to you for a moment, across time and space. We could even add an old phone in front of that box, which would ring when a new historical figure is ready to talk.

If this experiment goes well, we may also feature one of these characters in our Dada Exhibit this fall, as part of the puppet show and Magic Theater project we are working on separately.

Here are some of our observations:

• this technique works well to bring characters to life

• it creates the illusion that you are seeing a real person

• aligning the faces from the videos with the life casts can be tricky

• we may need to hold the actor’s heads to keep them aligned while we shoot

• getting the eyes, nose and mouth to match may require adjusting the video as well

• some interesting expressions come out when the faces are not perfectly aligned

• people can be made to look older or younger, depending which cast you use

• when the face looks straight at the camera, you really feel that it is talking to you

• some facial expressions work really well, like shifting eyes left and right

• some interesting effects can be created by speeding up the footage, as in Max Headroom

In our next experiments, we will play with different ways to align the projected image and the life cast, and make it all work in a small space. We will also face a trade-off between realism and diversity: we could focus on just a single character to perfect the alignment for that figure; or we could aim to project a range of different characters against a more generic life cast where the alignment might be less precise.

I can’t wait for our next experiments with this promising direction.

Fire in the hole!

Time Machine Sketches by Fabrice Florin

Pataphysical Studios is building a Time Machine for our next art exhibit. On a balmy spring afternoon, Drs. Rindbrain and Fabio created more visualizations of what the Time Machine might look like.

We sketched out several ideas for the inside and outside walls, for discussion purposes. On each side of the main screen, we designed round portholes through which we could interact with our guests -- or show scenes from the past or future. Behind each porthole would be a magic box that could feature artifacts from distant times -- or the head of a historical figure, projected onto a ‘life cast’. The rest of the inside walls would be used for other interactive artworks such as the Crazy Clock, which sings quotes about time when you press its big green button.

On the outside walls, we sketched out a Face Box that you could stick your head in to get your picture taken. It would include an Infinity Mirror made of LED strips cycling through the colors of the rainbow, with a camera at the end of this light tunnel. We also sketched out where time wonderboxes could be placed on the side walls, proposing that the left wall focus on the past and the right wall on the future. A graphic timeline across both walls could support that idea.

It was a productive meeting and we look forward to presenting these ideas to our fellow doctors at the next Time Machine meeting.

Fire in the hole!

Pataphysical Art Storm by Fabrice Florin

‘Twas a dark and stormy Saturday afternoon at Pataphysical Studios, but the doctors braved the pouring rain and came out in droves to make art together.

We celebrated Dr. Figurine’s birthday in style, with a nice apple pie and small gifts ranging from a DVD on how to play the theremin to a handmade wooden box and stock in the Mind Shaft Society.

We all sat around our Time Machine framework and had stimulating discussions about our next pataphysical invention -- as well as our many related maker art projects:

• Dr. Rindbrain demonstrated the new remote-controlled lights for the Time Machine

• Dr. Fabio had his head examined after a rough encounter with a rose bush

• Dr. Canard prepared electronic supplies for students of the City of the Future class

• Drs. Figurine and Heatshrink started building a theremin together

• Drs. Really and Canard displayed an arted-up jug of ‘pataphysical water

• Drs. Canard and Fabio used a Ouija board to reach out to the spirit of Alfred Jarry

• Dr. Rindbrain painted another pair of shoes while discussing art with Dr. Zboon

• Dr. Fabio proposed ideas for the Time Machine controller, with the Ouija board as an example

• Drs. Figurine lit up the pataphysical flag pole with El Wire

A fine time was had by all and we kept learning from each other for the greater good.

A pleasant art session with the good doctors at Pataphysical Studios, on an early fall afternoon.

Here are this week’s featured art projects at Pataphysical Studios:

• Dr. Heatshrink grew five new hands in his right arm

• Drs. Canard and Fabio added golden rays to the Crazy Clock

• Dr. Figurine started attaching hands and motors for her Asterisk painting

• Dr. Really shared a wild picture of a dead horse on his back

• Dr. Rindbrain offered his computer stand for the Time Machine’s cockpit

• Dr. Canard pointed to holy crap flagged as ‘Property of Donald Trump’

Vive la ‘patpahysique!

Crazy Clocks and Time Machines by Fabrice Florin

We’re building a Time Machine with crazy clocks and other whimsical art pieces at Pataphysical Studios. On a quiet Saturday afternoon, Drs. Canard, Figurine and Fabio reported for duty.

Drs. Canard and Fabio are creating a Crazy Clock together. This interactive artwork features a collection of ancient clocks. When you press the green button, all three clocks will spin out of control with surreal sound effects, followed by a musical quote about time (e.g.: “Time is on my side’). This week, Dr. Canard figured out how to arrange old watches all around the main clock; Dr. Fabio picked and edited musical quotes for the first prototype.

We inspected the space around the Time Machine in its new location and brainstormed ideas for where its different parts might go. Dr. Fabio revised the exhibit layout to reflect actual dimensions and added new designs, for discussion purposes. Drs. Figurine also suggested we feature a few 'time wonderboxes' on the side walls, which would be scenes from our past, present or future.

We spent the rest of the afternoon working on making Magic Mushrooms that will glow in the dark and set the mood for Violet’s Journey and other art projects.
