DMC De Lorean "Back to the Future" - 1980

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!

THE TIME MACHINE SERIES

Leonard and His Time Machine : Leonard Equals Einstein

Illustrated by Barbara Robinson

© 1967 Harr Wagner Publishing Co. San Francisco, USA.

Spring is back at Pataphysical Studios, where we spent another lovely Saturday afternoon, making art together and exploring new dimensions across space and time.

 

This week, we developed our Time Machine and started work on our new Dada exhibit:

• Dr. Rindbrain showed a new mockup for the Time Machine viewing frame

• Dr. Max and his family came to experience the magic of the art garden

• Dr. Canard posed by the pataphysical flag and sanded her music box

• Dr. Phylora picked up her new pataphysical badge and caught up with the group

• Dr. Truly brought blank canvases and art ideas for the new Dada exhibit she is producing

• Dr. Tout d’Suite picked the Alfred Jarry canvas as her art project for the Dada exhibit

• Dr. Fabio picked the Gidouille canvas and worked on the Crazy Clock prototype

• Dr. Canard picked the Eye/Hand canvas as her art project for the Dada exhibit

• Dr. Figurine picked the Apostrophe canvas and worked on her theramine

• Dr. Skidz picked the Ubu canvas and pitched a duck phone for the Dada exhibit

• The Queen of the Desert shared her research on Dada and time travel

• Drs. Rindbrain, Really and Igor installed the back wall for the Time Machine

• Dr. Fabio showed Dr. Canard how to shoot a video interview with Dr. Rindbrain

• Drs. Zboon, Fabio and Figurine discussed a puppet show for the Dada Exhibit

 

Making art with friends brings new light into our lives and brightens the world around us.

Pataphysical Studios, our art collective, is starting to build a Time Machine for our next exhibit. This week, our maker friend Geo Monley joined us to consult on our construction plans. While he was at it, he also led our motley crew to raise the structure up from the floor and build a doorway into our inner sanctum. It was a productive team effort and we got a lot done, thanks to Dr. Geo’s wonderful guidance.

 

This week, we also worked on other art projects:

• Dr. Canard started a new assemblage project with assorted art objects and voodoo dolls

• Drs. Fabio and Canard finalized the design of their Crazy Clock and brainstormed time quotes

• Dr. Figurine finished soldering her theramine and showed off her David Bowie life cast

• Dr. Rindbrain provided sundry tools and supplies to support all this fine work

• Dr. Really worked on our proposal for the Dada exhibit

• Dr. Heatshrink did extensive documentation on this photo set

 

Next, Drs. Fabio and Rindbrain will prepare more detailed sketches of the Time Machine, to reflect the new reality in the studio. These visualizations will inform our next group discussion, so that team members can get a better understanding of where their work might fit in the exhibit.

We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams.

‘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.

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.

The good doctors at Pataphysical Studios have started work on their next madcap invention: the Time Machine.

 

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we assembled the wood frame of the time machine, which Drs. Rindbrain and Figurine had built earlier at the Tam High woodshop. All the pieces fell in place nicely in the art greenhouse, and the structure was up within an hour. This pentagon can now fit up to a dozen pataphysicians (albeit squished together like sardines), as demonstrated in our group portrait. Next week, we will add the walls and paper them up, to start sketching our first ideas for this interactive art exhibit.

 

In other news:

• Dr. Figurine brought a giant fish head she had created years ago and gave it a new life with a fresh coat of paint.

• Dr. Heatshrink and Igor discussed plans for the time machine controller (kudos to Drs. Really and Truly for giving him a ride so he could join us while his ankle is still broken).

• Dr. Truly painted a lovely pair of boots and gave another of her beautiful medals to Dr. Zboon.

• Dr. Phylora joined the art hive, kissed the fish head and sorted beads for Violet’s float

• Drs. Canard, Fabio and Igor hacked an old clock whose needles will spin unpredictably when you press a button in the time machine.

• Dr. Tout d’Suite created more ‘pataphysical talismans

• Dr. Rindbrain played his flute, tended to the art hive, and started painting another pair of shoes

• Dr. Canard leaped into the air to show her aikido rolls and prepared another mobile

• Dr. Zboon storyboarded and pitched a new twist for Violet’s Journey, to bring more life into our fairy tale for Dr. Canard’s animatronic ducks

• Dr. Really created a poster for our upcoming exhibit of the slot machine at the Dada World Fair

• Dr. Fabio prepared an oval float for Violet and the animatronic ducks, to cover their robot parts

 

The mojo flowed freely in the art garden. Fire in the hole!

First sketches and models for the Time Machine, a new interactive art project created by Pataphysical Studios.

 

In this brainstorm session, each team member sketched out their own ideas, then discussed them with the group, to design our upcoming time travel experience together.

 

Next, we plan to create a composite design with some of these ideas, to integrate them into a single blueprint.

This year, we are creating a Time Machine in our Maker Art class at the Lycée Français, with a great team of of 9 students. In our after-school workshop, we combine arts and technology to bring their ideas to life, with lights, sounds and motion.

 

Each student will create their own scene from the past, present or future. They will then work in teams to build the Time Machine, which will showcase their work -- as well as program lights, motion and sound with Arduino boards.

 

This class is for students in grades 4 and 5 (ages 8 to 10). Besides learning how to make things with electronics, this course helps them develop their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills. We meet in Sausalito for an hour and a half each week, every Thursday at 3:30pm, from January 5 to March 30, 2017.

 

Our teacher associate this year is Edward Janne, a talented maker, designer and engineer from our Tam Makers community. We’re very lucky to have his technical expertise for this new adventure. :)

 

We look forward to another great Maker Art course this year. We have a really good group of students, who are exceptionally creative and engaged. I can’t wait to see what they come up with!

• 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.

 

Fire in the hole!

Each Saturday, the good doctors make art together at Pataphysical Studios.

 

Here are this week’s notable art projects:

• Drs. Really and Rindbrain created a banner for an art protest, ‘Traffic Jam Valley’

• Dr. Rindbrain developed ‘Magical Thought’, an illuminated wonderbox

• Dr. Fiske dropped by to record an impromptu video of Pataphysical Studios

• Dr. Figurine showed off the head and body of her Owl for our Dada Exhibit

• Dr. Fabio presented composite sketches for the Time Machine, based on team designs

• Dr. Truly demonstrated how to share videos on social media while lying flat on your back

• Dr. Canard discussed her Dada Mobile with Dr. Zboon, who then created a greeting card

• Dr. Fabio showed off a new circle design for the Crazy Clock, discarding its old frame

 

We then went on a nice walk to Oakwood Valley. On the way, Dr. Rindbrain re-discovered himself and nearby dimensions on a neighborhood pole. We then played in a secret grove of bay trees, deep in the heart of the valley.

 

Vive la ‘patpahysique!
