experimenting with
a) printing on used teabag
b) wax and paper
c) creating 3-dimensional forms with encaustic and paper
...not sure where i'm going with all of this, but it sure is fun!
How it works: Arduino is reading the change in voltage due to the thickness of the lines. These values are being sent via serial communication to the openFrameworks program that creates the sound synthesis in real time. Basically, I'm experimenting with the changing of the sound frequency (roughly between 20 and 2000 hz) according to the value being read. It works in the same way as reading a variable resistor: the thicker the lines the more current that flows as graphite is a good electrical conductor. Arduino is running the Firmata protocol and in openFrameworks I'm using the Arduino library developped by Erik Sjödin. Thanks Zach!
Now referred to as the "Wise House" the house was orginally the home of lumber/cotton baron--Edwin C. Holt whot constructed the home using some of the most exotic hardwoods available worldwide. The house was purchased in 1919 by Jessie Hargrave Kenan Wise. The majority of the beautiful wood (the hallmark of the home) was recently painted over during UNCW's "restoration" of their Alumni Office. Tiger oak stair and hardwood flooring fortunately avoided wall-to-wall carpeting.
Next door, (then two-doors down) the Thomas Emerson house (then-president of Atlantic Coastline Railroad). The house was purchased in 1923 by Sarah Kenan, and was rebuilt after being gutted by fire using salvaged pieces with a fire-resistant steel and concrete superstructure. "Miss Sarah" lived there and the sisters (and family) continued to buy up real estate after surrounding buildings burned or became available otherwise, and completed an eight-nine foot prison-like "privacy wall" around the properties. The outrageously wealthy Miss Sarh lived on inside the self-imposed-deterioration of Kenan house until just before the end when some say she actually moved into the home of staff—thinking she was insolvent.--the final stages of dimentia. She finally succumbed to what many feel was lues in 1968.
Rumor has it that banking executives from New York came to Wilmington to finally settle the estate, during their visit literally millions of dollars in cash, silver, etc. was inventoried.
The homes, along with furnishings, and ancillary works of art were ultimately donated to UNCW--a public school. The university continues to spend hundreds of thousands of supposed “donations” to maintain and staff the home as a private residence for the Chancellor of this state institution—quite a perk! Occasional receptions are held in the public areas of the home, supposedly justifying the expense.
When ownership of the property moved from the Kenan family to UNCW, two cases of wine discovered in the basement vault were split between the Kenans and Chancellor Wagoner. The university’s case was finished off that summer by workers—twelve bottles of CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD.

Chiavenna: Accidential Experiment Foma 100:
I made a mistake here, I underexposed the Foma 100 Film 2 or 3 stops, because I forgot it doesn't have DX coding ... so much for technology ... Surprisingly the film (and scanning) managed to get something out of those, and it's not even bad, I think! More and more I come to the conclusion with the mixed / hybrid workflow I have it is better to underexpose (B/W) film quite a bit. Maybe not as much as here, but 1 stop seems to be fine in most cases.

An old type writer was an option for a prop so i decided that it would be interesting to see what kind of photos i could capture.
Experimenting with water drops. Took these earlier on, my first batch of them, and is also my first attempt at them too. I lowered the saturation so it wasn't black and white, but with a hint of colour to see how it looks. (Makes my hand look old?)

Beginnings of experimentation for my MA.
"Suspended Animation" is the working title. And it's me because I'm all I have .... at the moment.
Some basic (rough) photoshop.
Some months ago, I had the concept of reading all the English broadsheet newspapers. I never got around to reading the FT, though - but I was contemplating a long bus journey, and well - here we are.
So, that's the end of the Experiment in Sociology.
