Kate Bush sang about it. I just like the title of her song...
In truth, a sculpture of an Iroquois ceremonial mask on a hand-drum with LED lighting...

A series of brief experiments for the Peanut Balancing pool.
Subject: Cashew Nuts
Observation: Hopeless. Far too polished and eccentric in shape.
There is a hole outside my appartment that in the future will hold a parking garage. It is a pity, because the garage is going to destroy my direct view of the sunrise over the swamp from the breakfast table.
In the meantime, I have set it up as a sedimentology lab experiment. In the heavy summer downpours here in Houston, there is actually some erosion of sand from the neighbours' flower beds. This flows down a footpath and empties into "Garage construction lake" at the base of the picture here (notice channel scour) and then builds a nice friction dominated mouthbar of rippled sand into the shallow water. The picture is unfortunately not that good, there are actually two separate lobes built at various water depths and in two separate episodes of sedimentation (aka rain showers!)
Had some mist in my backyard and looked a bit mystical.
Normal Exposure - set to Auto - taken at 7:50am
FOV: 3" wide.
On an aluminum tray, salt, sulfur were heated until the salt was melted. The frozen salt contained sulfide and possibly, disulfide ions. This was then added to a solution of sodium silicate and dissolved by boiling the solution.
To this solution was added another solution containing sodium chloride and aluminum sulfate. When they combined, a white precipitate formed. This was strained and dried, then melted with a MAPP gas torch.

Drents Museum, impressions outside and inside.
I tried to mix the different Classic painters to get new impressions......
I wanted to play with led's and see what kind of light I would get from them. I also wanted to see how they would look in a picture inside of a balloon. I had mixed results and this was the only really decent picture from this experiment.
This is my first entry for the MA over at MOCpages. I would appreciate some feedback before I make this official. Better quality photos: www.mocpages.com/moc.php/314280. Link to the MA for those of you who want to check it out: www.mocpages.com/group.php/19864.
iPhone's latest software update, IOS 7, added a panorama feature to the camera...I made a couple run-of-the-mill "panos" (Apple seems to love applying their own terms to things that are already established, have you ever noticed that?), quickly grew bored with them, and decided to experiment with it. These were all taken out the window of a moving bus. I sometimes held my iPhone normally, sometimes horizontally, sometimes upside-down, and so forth, manipulating the way the image was recorded. I rather like the results.
Results of an experiment in studio with newly acquired fishtank. I did these by dropping indian ink into clear water & shooting it as it slowly settled.
Scientists recently performed three more experiments on local freshwater mussels. The purpose was to measure how much pollutants are removed as these animals filter water clean while they eat. This will help tell planners how investments in mussel restoration lead to cleaner water. Imagine if we could decrease our need for water treatment simply by investing in shellfish, many of which can live up to a century. Visit DelawareEstuary.org/freshwater-mussels to learn more.

The experiment was to see which type of vinegar gave the greatest reaction with baking soda. Turns out the aromatic (balsamic) vinegar was the strongest reaction!
Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

Here's the dead simple circuit with ~18 volts looping around it (the Duracell Procells had closer to 9.45 volts apiece). The resistor in question was a 1/8 watt rated 100 ohm resistor.
Using a pair of homemade lights (hardware clamp lights w. CFL bulbs and linen drapped over them w. a rubber band, for diffusion) Siona let me experiment with lighting. I paid her in Skittles.
