The sun/shade work is a representation of the sunlight in Helsinki over a year, measured by a solar radiation sensor and re-represented though code and a lasercutter into Finnish wood. The work investigates our sense of nature, and the meaning and interplay between data, form and physicality.
( Many thanks to the Aalto University Media Factory for sponsoring this project, and to the Aalto University / ARTS / Wood workshop for helping me realise the project ).
A year in solar radiation
On the work's vertical axis, columns of dots recount the sun's activity from the beginning of the day ( i.e 00:00 ) at top, to the day's end (ie. 23:59 ) at the bottom. The columns, from left to right, show every other day from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The size of the circles indicates the quantity of sunlight. A 2007 Helsinki's light is retold. Intensely light in summer - in the middle - with occasional rain and clouds darkening the day, and intensely dark in winter - surrounding the light summer period.
Resolution: 182 columns (every other day in the year ) by 144 rows ( one measurement every 10 minutes in the day )
Cutting: with light naturally, like this: vimeo.com/24000033
Someone else made this.
Winter Sleepers holiday card & mixtape. Created and assembled Dec. '08 - Jan. '09.
A work in progress:
One year in temperature materialised in acrylic.
The height is the temperature values.
Each row is one week long, and with 52 rows, there's one year in temperature, in Helsinki, Finland.
The year covered is the one between may 2009 -> may 2010 . The winter was quite cold, to say the least.
This was just a test. Am hoping to do a bit of a skinned surface in the end, and use a more natural material, like wood.
... just need to get that coordinate points count down. Seems the CNC toolpath machinery doesn't like it too much.

The set shows a team building activity evening at the MUSE FabLab. The general activities have been focused on Digital Fabrication and personalization of an object designed by groups of people. The object has been first designed digitally and then fabricated using the laser cutter. As a third step, each group has the build up the physical object, basically for their office desk.
If anyone is interested in this Iphone 4S bamboo case, i can make one for you...
please email me at info@creativeuseoftechnology.com
I can also make custom ones with you own design, i then need a (vector) picture
please let me know if you have questions

Getting another laser fired up! It should be cutting steel and other materials pretty soon :)

get up close, those are burn marks from the laser cutter. laser etched paper.
it works best with one level of crosshatching. otherwise, it is lost.
or maybe i need to open up the width betwen the hatches
This laser cutter comes with a red dot alignment laser pointer for accurate positioning of parts. Picture shows the nozzle with an air assist hose. Machine is laser cutting and laser engraving on a sheet of foam. For more information visit us at www.jamiesonlaser.com
