Bendricks Amusement Arcade was an amusement arcade and social club on the border between Sully and Barry in South Wales. It closed to the public during the '90's, and has since been subject to extensive fire damage. These photographs, taken in July 2012, showcase the building as it stands today. Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.

Taken in the late 1970s when they were improving Leeds near Little London. I loved the lonely robot left behind.. but somehow the Evening Post weren't interested in publishing it. So its taken till now to get a larger audience.
So, this is the big purchase of the weekend! A new Janome sewing machine! Can I just say, this thing basically thinks for me! I was very scared of the computerized machines, thinking it would take away all my control. The salesman was very helpful and explained that the machine only wants to help me. He threw in a 1/4" seam foot and a darning foot when I mentioned I would want those too, and this was the floor model so I got an extra $50 off! Bargain!

WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – Hanger doors are opened as 509th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintainers begin performing maintenance on a B-2 Spirit Oct 29, 2009. 509th AMXS crew chiefs and maintainers work around the clock with B-2 pilots training and staying prepared for real world missions. Twenty B-2 Spirit aircrafts are assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing. The B-2's primary mission is to attack time-critical targets early in a conflict to minimize an enemy's war-making potential.

I got a snippy talking-to by one of the guards at Casino Niagara for taking this picture, but I had to have it.
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.
Fire in the hole!

THE LIE MACHINE (2014)
Suitcase, computer, speaker, Voice Stress Analysis software, autobiographical read-by-the author audiobooks (Palin, Obama, Clinton, Bush)
Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) is a highly contested and controversial lie detection technology. Through the detection of variations in the microtremors of speech, truthfulness is evaluated through analysis of live or recorded voice. As a result, the technique can be applied surreptitiously, even posthumously, to the vast storehouses of spoken audio available.
The Lie Machine processes recorded audio with standard Voice Stress Analysis algorithms. The archive chosen for this analysis is a set of audiobook autobiographies, each read by its author: Decision Points by George W. Bush, Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin, A Journey: My Political Life by Tony Blair, My Life by Bill Clinton, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama.
The title, “The Lie Machine” is taken from a 1973 Playboy Magazine article by Craig Vetter of the same name, on the subject of the Psychological Stress Evaluator (PSE). The PSE was the first commercially available VSA-based instrument, “designed to fit into a Samsonite briefcase.” The algorithm gained notoriety recently in the U.S. trial of George Zimmerman for the charge of the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin, where Zimmerman was cleared of the charges based partly on his successful passing of a CVSA test (Computer Voice Stress Analysis).
“We are not concerned with the guilt or innocence of a suspect, only in whether or not he seems to be lying. He’s either D.I. or N.D.I. -- deception indicated or no deception indicated.” (Playboy, 1973)
The project was produced and supported by LEAP Berlin. Many thanks to John McKiernan, Daniel Franke at LEAP, as well as Samo Tadin and Tuk Bredsdorff in Copenhagen, for their interests, generosity and contributions.

The group exhibition Obsessive Sensing features works which as their basis look at the programming of the world as an expression of artistic research. The participating artists aim to ‘’sense’’ with the help of complex systems and thus to reimagine how we perceive the world. How do we go about sensing that which we cannot perceive? This is reflected in the idea of technical images, as described by Vilém Flusser – the preparation of the information which we cannot perceive for our senses. ‘’This can be achieved neither with hands nor with eyes nor with fingers, for these elements are neither graspable, nor are they visible. For this reason, apparatuses must be developed that grasp the ungraspable, visualize the invisible, and conceptualize the inconceivable.’’ (Vilém Flusser, Into the Universe of Technical Images)

I want one of these to scoot around town in.....of course I'll either have to wait until summer or get some snow tires.
"THE" IBM PC. This machine marked the beginning of the era of the PC.
PC's became modular and the parts and software became standardized and interchangeable, and therefore inexpensive for both business and personal use. This one machine is where the entire modern age of computers really began.
It also spawned an epic war between IBM's PC and Apple Computer's MAC, that still rages some 30 odd years later.
This wooden compartment, its glass windows long since smashed, lies adjacent to the primary metalworking room of the Industrial Works mill. It appears to have been used as a kind of functional admin room to store plans for the machine parts that were currently in production on the lathes. It also contains a battered old telephone booth, which is the green object at the top left of this image.
The Machine Gun Corps memorial (also known as the Boy David memorial) was designed by Professor Francis Derwent Wood R.A.
The bronze statue of David holding Goliath's sword stands on a pedestal of stainless Mazzona marble, and is flanked on each side by a moulded bronze Vickers machine gun dressed with laurel wreaths. A soldier's helmet and pack sits at the foot of each gun.
The memorial was originally erected in Grosvenor Place, London and moved to its current location in the early 1960's.
It was unveiled by Field-Marshall the Duke of Connaught in a ceremony which took place on Sunday 10th May 1925. A rededication ceremony took place in May 1963.

When my husband and I moved to Brooklyn, we knew we still wanted a dining room table, but we had to downsize. We Craigslist-ed our previous dining room table and began the search for a dining room table that had as much pre-war character as our new apartment. My mother had purchased a Singer sewing machine (circa 19020's) from an antique store, but hadn't used it in a long time, so she offered this as an option. Her idea was to use the base and remove the original sewing machine top, as this was hardly an eating surface. I found an Ikea table top for $19.99, and along with my family's assistance, we affixed the new table top to the base, added a runner, and Voila! We're pretty darn proud of it, we must admit, and it's now our favorite piece of furniture!
