Interface, an installation by Frank Straatman ( in cooperation with Wia van Dijk), 2017-2018. On display at Beeldentuin / Sculpture Garden Landgoed Anningahof, Zwolle, Holland.
I shall let you all ponder for 24 hours before explaining what we have here .
Well it is over 24 hours and an explanation is required .
What you see is what is known as a " water separator " and it is indeed found on the back of a dry cleaning machine . In dry cleaning the solvent ( perchloroethylene ) is used over and over again and is constantly filtered plus it is distilled to remove all the muck and grunge ( and that is a messy job raking out the still !!! ) . In distilling the solvent is boiled and the vapour drawn off and condensed to recover the pure solvent , however there will be some water within the condense and perc and water do not mix and indeed you do not want excessive water in the cleaning process . Thus the condensed liquids flow back through the water separator with the solvent being the heavier liquid filling the bottom half and the water floating on the top of the solvent . The interface of the two liquids often has a build up of matter and this is what you are looking at here through a glass sight glass . As I no longer work in dry cleaning this shot was taken at a colleagues shop when I popped in for some haberdashery for my wife - and of course a natter .
As a note , environmental regulations dictate that for every litre of solvent used you will be expected to clean a minimum of 80 kilos of work !
The is the intersection of two walls on an office building at 199 S. Los Robles in Pasadena. The building was pretty boring overall, but from this perspective it was pretty cool.
Here's the street view. I was on my bicycle when I took the shot above and positioned myself right in the cleft of the first "V" closest to the sidewalk.
In the dark of the night when it's just you and your subject and you move in for the close up...
you wonder what they're thinking.
"Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence."
– Sholem Asch, "The Nazarene", 1939, p. 3.
"They constantly try to escape
From the darkness outside and within
By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good."
– T. S. Eliot, "The Rock".
That's my video work, Future City (vimeo.com/tizzycanucci/futurecity), showing just inside the front door. First ever rl exhibition I've had art in, rather than being the administrator for.
The ‘Interface’ exhibition organised by neo:artists is at neogallery23, in the Market Place Shopping Centre in Bolton. It runs until 20th May 2018, open Thursday-Sunday from 11am-5pm. Admission is free and the space is fully accessible.
A map showing the shortest lines connecting each building entrance with the closest street segment. The hotter the colours the shorter is the distance. This mapping method clearly highlight the districts build in the 19th century, with tight proximities between buildings in favour of pedestrian movement.
This is part 1 of a closer look at the Rexroth interface to show the menus and function selections. I took a million pictures to get good images, which was a trouble at first with reflections during the day, but then I tried in darkness. The green screen and orange buttons look sweet ey! In the top left is your main menu which is pretty self explanatory. On the right is load mode where you can toggle between continuous pack or auto pack, which initiates 3 full blade cycles, otherwise you have the full manual forward and reverse operation. A button which Superior Pak no longer does have, but should on their newest models, is for the engine revs where you can completely deactivate them to be quiet or throttle up to boost the hydraulics. Also worth mentioning is the table of values on the right for the lift, beam and packer. Those numbers are milliampere units which measure electrical signal, so move the joystick and the values will increase dependent on proportional control. On the bottom left is unload mode and all shown there is also pretty obvious, only thing to explain is that list on the right refers to the function solenoids, with the empty squares lighting up once the body/door is operated. The last screen on the bottom is your set/resets screen which is also very obvious with bin count reset and load limit mode to reduce pack pressure for recycling, but it can only be changed with a password. Now go to part 2 for the rest.
