Networked Fabrication for Urban Provocations.
Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

March 7 - April 9, 2010
Opening reception: March 7, 4-7pm
It is with great pleasure that devening projects + editions announces The Lodger, an exhibition of new work by Peter Otto. The show will feature new paintings, works on paper and editions.
In this exhibition, as throughout most of his career, Otto makes the task of facing untenable cultural truths only slightly easier by persuading us with a system of delivery almost impossible to ignore. Otto’s work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity—ever tested by social, cultural and political forces—bends, breaks and at times collapses. These paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. Evidence of the ways culture and society impose will and exert power is revealed on the surfaces of his verdant canvases and in the sculptures made from clay, plaster and bronze.
The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but Otto is able to bring forth stories of how cultural ruptures created by wars, famine, natural and man-made disasters form the basis from which that same culture is ultimately shaped. His paintings and drawings express a highly personal relationship with historical and contemporary events but always leaves the narrative open to evoke sensations interpretable from varied positions.
One thinks of Philip Guston when looking at Otto’s work. An acknowledged influence for the artist, Guston is a model for how to bridge the political and the formal. An example in Otto’s work is a regular use of stacked or hanging objects. Macabre associations are unavoidable, but one can never be sure. These “things” might also suggest built structures raised from a destroyed place or re-presented from an emergent culture. One might consider Guston’s piles of shoes and find a strong link to Otto. The concerns addressed in Otto’s most well-known paintings can also be seen in occasional large-scale public works in Holland such as Twisted Totem in Den Haag. This monumental work is a aggressively fragmented totem made from disparate parts. The sculpture, like the paintings, asks us to face difficult and challenging revelations about our culture and brings awareness to the ways in which we process trauma.
In one of several essays in Votive/Totem, the 2006 book on Otto, Rob Smolders writes: “Peter Otto juxtaposes his own malicious imagination with the imagination of society. He tightens pieces of string, erects crosses and gallows, puts up doors and fences, has a ball with junk he finds in his way: swastikas and Christmas trees, feet and heads, flowers and walking sticks. No dances in this world for it is inhabited by monsters and crutches.”
Of his painting and process, Smolders writes: “… Meanwhile, Peter Otto remained the painter he was. Magician when glazing, alchemist when patinating. The pictorial language of the paintings dating from the past five years is often acrid yet playful. Colors that are sometimes reminiscent of blood, tar or flesh, suddenly give way to the ripe color modulations of overblown flowers in an exuberant representation. References to war and violence that are too literal have been forced back. The tenor of the work is more general, even if the prevailing mood remains somber.”
Otto, who lives in Arnhem, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe including projects at Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen, the Kröller-Müller Museum, Boÿmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Galerie Reuten and Galerie Swart in Amsterdam, the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Grant Petersen once waxed poetic about these brakes for their smooth modulation and ever since I had to have 'em. I must say that mated to the Tektro RX4 Inverse Levers, this is some of the most pleasant and intuitive braking I have ever felt on any bike. Superior to the Shimano Ultegra 9-speed STI brake levers and V-brakes on my Cannondale T1000 touring bike; superior to the Cane Creek SCR-5 levers and Ultegra caliper brakes (BR-R600) with Kool-Stop brakepads on my Rivendell Rambouillet. Seen here on a Velo Orange Campeur singlespeed commuter. Complete build specs are available at this image in the album. Image made at W 19th and 9th Ave, NYC on a rainy summer afternoon.
Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.
The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more

Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael.

+BEST BEFORE UNU +
¬Best Before Unu
UNU (Antonis Anissegos)
and BESTBEFORE (Andreas Karaoulanis) met in March 2010 on stage at a Festival in Thessaloniki, following the invitation of the festival director to perform together.
The match was instant and after the success of their performance, they decided to form the duo best before unu.
Since then they produced together many short audio/visual pieces, and performed often in Greece and in Germany.
The intensive electronics of unu found a visual counterpoint in the moving images of bestbefore, generating complex sonic-visual formations. While audio frequencies are analyzed and passed into image motions, which in turn feed back to the music, a never ending circulation of influence travels in both directions.
As an enrichment of the collaboration, best before unu appears also with live piano, adding an acoustic dimension to the creative process. A journey through morphing landscapes and imaginary organisms, stimulating the audience to continuously perceive new associations.

Screature
live at Witch Room in Sacramento
For the last few years, Screature has been one of our city's best bands both live and on record. Singer Liz has imperious command of her voice which she can deepen and flatten with amazing sustainability like a young Grace Slick or Siouxsie Sioux. The all-lady drum-organ rhythm section creates a deep, lush, velvety pocket for Liz's voice and Chris' guitar which achieves a killer mindmeld of Helios Creed's psych-punk snarl and Geordie's deft modulation.
On this night, they scrapped their entire songbook which has been their live staple since their first show, also heard on their excellent and only LP (so far). They debuted an entire batch of new songs, and OMG....they're even better than the first! Now they're about to take 'em on the road. If they come near you, you oughta go!
This was probably their biggest hit with audiences so far...

Crown XLS2000 DriveCore Series 2100W Amplifier Description:
Crown's XLS 2000 power amplifier is a premiere portable PA system with unmatched performance, technology and affordability. It includes multiple inputs so you can plug in anything and play anywhere, along with several system setup configurations. This high-performance power amp provides enormous power and flexibility thanks to the integrated DriveCore Technology, PureBand Crossover System and Peakx limiters. Weighing less than 12 pounds, the Crown XLS2000 power amp is much easier to set up and move from show to show.
A Power Amp with Integrated DriveCore Technology
Class D amplifiers are notable for extraordinarily high efficiency and being well suited for driving difficult reactive loads such as subwoofers. However, their performance can suffer impaired performance on marginal and unstable AC line supplies. To overcome this obstacle, Crown engineers developed DriveCore Technology—a proprietary hybrid analog-digital integrated circuit (IC) developed with Texas Instruments that drives the "front end" of the Class D output stage. Over 60 years of Crown's design knowledge and experience went into developing this technology resulting in truly remarkable benefits. The DriveCore Technology in this Crown power amp provides an extremely wide tolerance with regards to sagging or "dirty" AC line conditions, providing consistent performance without affecting audio quality. This means the XLS2000 power amplifier will not compromise your performance by fluctuating generator power, or overload from lighting rigs, backline gear, etc. In addition, DriveCore Technology's patented feedback and PWM modulation circuits enable fast recovery on peak transients, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low frequencies at high-power levels for maximum subwoofer output.
Advanced Switched-Mode Power Supply
This advanced power supply in the Crown XLS2000 power amp is highly efficient and optimized for maximum power transfer from the AC line through the Class D output stage to the loudspeakers. A benefit to this is substantial weight reduction when compared to older 60Hz transformer-based power supplies.
PureBand Crossover System
The PureBand Crossover System in the Crown XLS Series adds an enormous amount of flexibility and performance to any system. With this system, the crossover frequency is completely variable allowing the choice of any crossover point between 50Hz and 3kHz on 1/12 octave centers. The use of 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters provide steep slopes for a seamless transition between high and low drivers. And with four crossover modes to choose from providing the ultimate in flexibility, all of your system needs are covered.
Peakx limiters
Peakx limiters provide the ultimate in performance and protection for your entire system. This advanced algorithm was specifically developed and tuned to work with this amplifier and power-supply to achieve higher SPL will less audible artifacts. This means less distortion, less shutdowns, and maximum safe power delivered to your speakers. The Crown power amp's Peakx limiters can be easily turned on or off by channel right from the front panel eliminating the need to be digging around in the back of the dark rack.
The XLS is a leader in portable amps, with DriveCore Technology, PureBand Crossover System, and Peakx limiters

Messier 3 (also known as M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Charles Messier on May 3, 1764, and resolved into stars by William Herschel around 1784. Since then, it has become one of the best-studied globular clusters. Identification of the cluster's unusually large variable star population was begun in 1913 by American astronomer Solon Irving Bailey and new variable members continue to be identified up through 2004.
Many amateur astronomers consider it one of the finest northern globular clusters, following only Messier 13. M3 has an apparent magnitude of 6.2, making it a difficult naked eye target even with dark conditions. With a moderate-sized telescope, the cluster is fully defined. It can be a challenge to locate through the technique of star hopping, but can be found by looking almost exactly halfway along an imaginary line connecting the bright star Arcturus to Cor Caroli. Using a telescope with a 25 cm (9.8 in) aperture, the cluster has a bright core with a diameter of about 6 arcminutes and spans a total of 12 arcminutes.
This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. It is estimated to be 8 billion years old. It is located at a distance of about 33,900 light-years away from Earth.
Messier 3 is located 31.6 kly (9.7 kpc) above the Galactic plane and roughly 38.8 kly (11.9 kpc) from the center of the Milky Way. It contains 274 known variable stars; by far the highest number found in any globular cluster. These include 133 RR Lyrae variables, of which about a third display the Blazhko effect of long-period modulation. The overall abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium, what astronomers term the metallicity, is in the range of –1.34 to –1.50 dex. This value gives the logarithm of the abundance relative to the Sun; the actual proportion is 3.2–4.6% of the solar abundance. Messier 3 is the prototype for the Oosterhoff type I cluster, which is considered "metal-rich". That is, for a globular cluster, Messier 3 has a relatively high abundance of heavier elements.

ANTONIO BONET. In 1942, Bonet participates in the constitution of the Organization of the Integral House in the Argentine Republic. The idea of the formation of its work ties it with the ideas suggested by Him Corbusier throughout the process of preparation of the Plan of Buenos Aires. "the routine servitude of conception submissive the outsider does not exist any worthy of consideration argument seriously nor even in that some Argentineans live" So that the initial note of a universal modulation does not take place in our country, whose hope appears in the immediate perspective of the world: on the area in catastrophe of the cities martyred by the war, the genius of the man already begins to project the new forms of the human coexistence. On the contrary, the essential circumstance of our historical youth and the one of our adventurous peace, locate to us in the moral obligation to create new forms of life anticipating us to whatever of project and of dream it even subsists in a world of towns in flames and ruins. This thought of Bonet, is taken from the N° Notebook 1 of OVRA, titled Study of the Contemporary Problems for the organization of the integral house in the Argentine Republic. Without a doubt, the text gathers part of the optimism of the Austral Group. But while this one was directed to the architects and its problems, in the OVRA manifesto the horizon is ampler, next to certain discovered nonfree of messianism of the American, coincident with other similar initiatives in other places of the continent.
Reflections of Antonio Bonet on the architecture: "the architectonic elements that will form the new city will be formed by a series, numerous, of structures little systematized. Those structures will be able to arrive to the maximum from their aesthetic, technical perfection and economic, since besides to be placed in free lands, its study must be based on the progressive improvement of such types, so as it has become in the great architectures of the past. Within those structures, that will be the expression of the effort of the social man, to obtain the order and the harmony of its time, never will be obtained to a freedom reached after the development of the life of the man like individual, and the one of its institutions. It is well certain that we are even far from that stage, But does not fit doubt that once demonstrated that the modern buildings can be developed in simple structures, more and more seemed to each other, it will make the importance powerful of this system. Those buildings will be used and the equipped for but diverse uses, without aging with it, although they will have to work at a time whose social programs, industrial, etc., are in permanent evolution. I am going to finish with the confession of my conviction of which to group the programs for the unification of the structures, is something enormously difficult, but some is no doubt that it is the way that will take us forms to the true architectonic of our time. in that the diverse social programs will be developed freely, cultural hygienic, etc., that must form the structure of the new society.

POOR CAT – Die erstaunliche Verlagerung einer künstlerischen Perspektive
Die Flash-Animation »Poor Cat« (1982–2008) synthetisiert unterschiedlichste künstlerische Ansätze der digitalen Produktion zum audiovisuellen, siteübergreifenden Webclip.
Zur Mechanik des Clips:
Eine Lead Story – die »Lyrix« des Songs – wird grafisch comixartig und textbasierend rhythmisch dargestellt. Neben der Musik erhält der Clip durch Wiederholung und Modulation der reduzierten Zeichen– und Schriftsymbolik seine eigenständige visuelle Grundstruktur. Die primäre, lineare Erzählerebene – durchaus poetisch – wird durch das Anlegen einer zweiten, kontroversiellen Kommunikationsebene inhaltlich und emotional gebrochen. Die Kombination von Zeichen/Körper/Schrift/Text/Bild/Zeichnung/Symbol/Stimme des audiovisuellen Primärstreams – die persönliche Zeichensetzung – wird einer distanziert geführten (medien)theoretischen Auseinandersetzung gegenübergestellt. Auf dieser Ebene werden Aussage, formale Gestaltung und Anordnung des audiovisuellen Hauptstrings subversiv kritisiert, persifliert und mittels dynamisierter bildlicher und interaktiver Versprechung wird zum Verlassen des aktuellen Geschehens aufgefordert und auf andere, interessantere Themen und Sites (auf ein ganzes Universum) verwiesen.

POOR CAT – the prodigious shift of an artistic perspective
Different artistic approaches to digital production are synthesised in the Flash animation “Poor Cat” (1982–2008), an audiovisual and interlinked webclip.
On the mechanics of the clip:
A comix-like graphic design and text-adapted rhythms make up the storyline – the “lyrix” of the song: Next to music it is the composition and repetition of a minimised symbolism of signs and characters which constitute the clip's individual visual structure. The primary – rather poetical – narrative level is emotionally broken and disrupted in content by a second controversial communication level. The audiovisual storyline – the personal message – a combination of sign/body/text/image/drawing/symbol/voice is confronted with a conceptional media-theoretical examination. Statement, formal design, and composition of the audiovisual narrative are subversively criticised and satirised. It is the clip's dynamic visual and interactive assurance which prompts the viewer to leave the actual storyline, and refers to more interesting issues and sites (a whole universe).
The clip's script and directives:

Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio,better known as Titian, was the leading painter of the 16th-century Venetian school of the Italian Renaissance. Recognized by his contemporaries as "the sun amidst small stars" (recalling the famous final line of Dante's Paradiso), Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds, and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of colour, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art.
During the course of his long life Titian's artistic manner changed drastically[ but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of polychromatic modulations are without precedent in the history of Western art.
The 3.6-liter V6 is the base engine in the 2016 Ram 1500. Rated at 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, it has sufficient power for hauling and is EPA-rated 17/25 mpg, or 18 mpg city on HFE models, making it the most effective pickup in its class. The 8-speed automatic works well with this engine. To boost fuel efficiency, the Ram has a lightweight frame that utilizes high-strength steel, aerodynamic grille shutters, low rolling resistance tires, pulse width modulation for the alternator and power accessories, and thermal management system. Its tow rankings are a few hundred pounds less than that of the V6 types of the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, but if you are doing a lot of hauling you are likely looking at the 5.7-liter V8. thecarspecs.com/2016-ram-1500-review/
Manchester Cathedral.
St Mary Window, 1980.
By Antony Hollaway (1928-2000).
In 1963 the stained glass designer and craftsman Tony Hollaway was introduced to the Manchester architect, Harry Fairhurst. Eight years later, after they had worked together on commissions in Cheshire and Liverpool, Fairhurst sought Tony's advice about a plan for five large stained-glass windows in Manchester Cathedral.
Thus was Tony asked to design and make the first window, the St George in the inner south-west aisle. It was completed in 1973. Further windows followed in 1976 and 1980 and the final window, Revelation was installed in 1995.
Detail: The St Mary Window. Designed by Antony Hollaway, 1980. (This is in the Tower.)
The circle, which dominates the window, is the ancient Christian symbol of perfection. It is marred by the death of Jesus in the form of a shart of leight or the sword. This is a direct reference to the prohecy of Simeon to the Blessed Virgin at the time of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. (“A sword shall piee through your own Soul also”. Luke 2: 35).
This destoryed the perfection of the circle which is compensated for visually the the arcs of red and yellow. “And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven: a women clother with the sun, the moon under her feet …” (Revelation 12:1). These radii restore the symmetry required for formal and design purposes.
These are seven shades of blue within the circle, blue being a colour traditionally associated with St Mary the Virgin. The circle contains a serpent. This is a multiple image best understood under the following headings:
The circle placed upon these blocks of colour are letter forms both upper and lower case which are essentially to create a pattern. However, they may be re-assembled to read verses from the Magnificate: left to right. The act of re-assembling the letters is intended to concentrate the mine on the text which would not necessarily result from ‘easy reading’.
The above details are intended to present:
1. A suitable light modulation for this part of the building.
2. A relationship with the two adjoining windows.
3. A monumentality and dignity appropriate to the Architecture and to the special place of this window in the Scheme, and of the Virgin Mary among the Patron Saints of the Cathedral.
All the teaching elements of the window are subordinate to the formal design requirements expressed in (3).

This hard rock guitar track features several constrasting sections and fiery lead Stratocasters.
Live lead Stratocaster guitars - Lee Fitzsimmons * Live Stratocaster rhythm guitars - Lee Fitzsimmons * Live Ibanez 5-string bass guitar - Lee Fitzsimmons * Drums and percussion - Lee Fitzsimmons
The track begins with the full instrumentation of the arrangement presenting the background for the first section. This section consists of a basic riff in B that takes advantage of several open strings. The twin leads then begin their dual lines over this first riff as they scream their overdriven melodies in perfect harmony. The second section incorporates a pseudo-modulation to D major as the twin leads switch from a tight harmony of thirds to a wide octave of descending melodic lines. The third and final section features the twin leads cascading down on the G string as the E string is alternately struck. The drum beat in this final section switches from a typical rock pattern to a more tribal rhythm that employs the tom toms in a very dominant manner.
The entire form is repeated and then the bridge is presented. The bridge continues with the tribal tom tom pattern of the final section and then suddenly stops. When the groove starts a few beats later, a fiery guitar solo begins that features some of the faster licks available in Lee's lead guitar tool kit. The piece ends by repeating the first three sections of the track.
This first part of this tune uses the flavor of twin electric leads that use microtones on the blue notes in harmony in order to bring about the intense harmonic flavors that really tickle the inner skull. The raw drum rhythms also express the tribal intensity invoked by this work. This piece is about elevating the primitive elements of rock into more educated realms that use more complex systems of harmonies, yet still retain their tribal essence.

We also have Gravel Grinder Adventure Bicycles- Longer Wheel base and wider tires and rims:
The Renegade is ready for any adventure, no matter which Renegade you ride. The long and tall endurance geometry is designed specifically to ride comfortably all day on the road or in harsh conditions off-road. The smooth ride of the full carbon fiber Expert and Elite bikes set the bar for how we designed the steel Exploit and Expat and aluminum Exile to ride. With disc brakes and the ability to mount up to a 40c tire, these bikes are ready to go just about anywhere. All you need is the desire to push, pedal and explore.

Securing the rear wheel to the frame by threading it into the rear dropouts is not only safer, it's stiffer. Increasing the rear axle diameter from 10mm to 12mm provides a stable platform for the disc braking forces and allows us to tune the rear seat stays for more compliance/comfort
Tubeless and wider rims across the range provide great benefits on any terrain. The tubeless benefits are to help prevent flats with sealant as well as being able to adjust your tire pressure for the perfect ride. For example on dirt roads you may want to reduce the tire pressure to increase your contact patch for better grip without the worry of pinch flatting. The beauty of the 23-24mm wider rims effectively gives you a constant and wide tire surface yielding better handling, stability and confidence with plenty of surface grip for control
Just in case you want to continue to push the boundaries, we added cable routing capability for a 27.2mm dropper post. Carbon-made Elite and Expert models have routing for an internal post while the Exploit is fitted for external.
After two years of testing and research we are able to provide even more comfort by reducing the seat post diameter on the carbon Renegade to 27.2mm. Through the combination of a new frame seat cluster and clamping configuration we were able to accentuate the benefits of top-down 27.2mm seatpost comfort while not compromising on side-to-side flex
Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off road conditions while maintaining a comfortable ride. As you start to review the geo chart you will noticed we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements. Add size specific tubing and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect endurance geo for all sized riders. The reason for this is that we wanted the 48 and 61 to fit the rider correctly and make the geo changes needed to provide the perfect ride.
Size Specific Tubing
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame’s total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.
ACE is our Internal Cable Guide System that is companionable with mechanical or Di2 shifting as well as hydraulic or mechanical braking. To keep shifting and braking performing best in any & all conditions, we’ve routed all cables internally on the new Renegade and designed a completely enclosed BB guide to keep cables clean, assuring precise shifts and sure stops in all conditions. And if you want to shift electronically, we’ve got you covered. Incorporated into our internal cable guide system are a few extra cable fittings that make the Renegade Di2 compatible
To make life easier we have repositioned each mount externally in a variety of easy-to-use locations. With a wide collection of fork and frame mounts you can now choose to mount fenders, rear carrier, low-rider front carrier (or two cages for water bottles/ storage) and three front triangle water bottles. This will open up the options wherever and whenever you chose to ride. Bad weather, commuting, trekking, touring – anything is possible.
Disc Brakes
With endurance geometry designed to go anywhere the only choice was disc brakes. Now the Renegade Elite, Expert and Exploit all come with hydraulic brakes. With hydraulic disc brakes you will have the most consistent and confidence-inspiring braking available. Just think about jamming down hill on a rutted out fire road with your hands all over the hoods…the power & modulation benefits of hydraulic disc brakes become readily apparent
Thru Axles
The 12mm Thru-Axle on our Renegades offer the benefit of increased stiffness and a quick release system without any downside. Designed specifically to counter-act the stress and pull of disc brake tourque, these forks won’t drift when brakes are applied.

This is the vehicular mounted version of the BC-659A Manpack radio set. It looks pretty big to carry on your back, if you ask me. It operated on 27-38.9 MHz with about 2 watts output. The modulation was REALLY wide band FM, +/-75 KHz deviation, the same as used today in hi-fi stereo commercial FM broadcasting. Just for reference, North America is in the process of transitioning to +/- 2.5 KHz modulation for voice communication grade FM, or 1/30th of the bandwith used in WWII military gear. This unit was built by Galvin Manufacturing Company, later known as Motorola.
This morning we made the valentine cards for her preschool class, and she colored some hearts that Wave Of Modulation gave her.
I did not ask her to pose this way.

It is with great pleasure that devening projects + editions announces The Lodger, an exhibition of new work by Peter Otto. The show will feature new paintings, works on paper and editions.
In this exhibition, as throughout most of his career, Otto makes the task of facing untenable cultural truths only slightly easier by persuading us with a system of delivery almost impossible to ignore. Otto’s work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity—ever tested by social, cultural and political forces—bends, breaks and at times collapses. These paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. Evidence of the ways culture and society impose will and exert power is revealed on the surfaces of his verdant canvases and in the sculptures made from clay, plaster and bronze.
The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but Otto is able to bring forth stories of how cultural ruptures created by wars, famine, natural and man-made disasters form the basis from which that same culture is ultimately shaped. His paintings and drawings express a highly personal relationship with historical and contemporary events but always leaves the narrative open to evoke sensations interpretable from varied positions.
One thinks of Philip Guston when looking at Otto’s work. An acknowledged influence for the artist, Guston is a model for how to bridge the political and the formal. An example in Otto’s work is a regular use of stacked or hanging objects. Macabre associations are unavoidable, but one can never be sure. These “things” might also suggest built structures raised from a destroyed place or re-presented from an emergent culture. One might consider Guston’s piles of shoes and find a strong link to Otto. The concerns addressed in Otto’s most well-known paintings can also be seen in occasional large-scale public works in Holland such as Twisted Totem in Den Haag. This monumental work is a aggressively fragmented totem made from disparate parts. The sculpture, like the paintings, asks us to face difficult and challenging revelations about our culture and brings awareness to the ways in which we process trauma.
In one of several essays in Votive/Totem, the 2006 book on Otto, Rob Smolders writes: “Peter Otto juxtaposes his own malicious imagination with the imagination of society. He tightens pieces of string, erects crosses and gallows, puts up doors and fences, has a ball with junk he finds in his way: swastikas and Christmas trees, feet and heads, flowers and walking sticks. No dances in this world for it is inhabited by monsters and crutches.”
Of his painting and process, Smolders writes: “… Meanwhile, Peter Otto remained the painter he was. Magician when glazing, alchemist when patinating. The pictorial language of the paintings dating from the past five years is often acrid yet playful. Colors that are sometimes reminiscent of blood, tar or flesh, suddenly give way to the ripe color modulations of overblown flowers in an exuberant representation. References to war and violence that are too literal have been forced back. The tenor of the work is more general, even if the prevailing mood remains somber.”
Otto, who lives in Arnhem, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe including projects at Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen, the Kröller-Müller Museum, Boÿmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Galerie Reuten and Galerie Swart in Amsterdam, the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Networked Fabrication for Urban Provocations.
Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

The Dirty Carter Electronic Sound Generating Instrument was designed by John Richards (Dirty Electronics) and Chris Carter from legendary Industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. It was produced for a special performance by Carter and the 25 strong Dirty Electronics Ensemble in 2010. It was originally designed as a touch controlled instrument with the player's skin resistance completing the circuit. This hard wired modification by A.S.M.O. gives more control and predictability by wiring all to the touch contacts to pots and switches. An additional low pass resonant filter has been added, LFO and an external CV socket for filter modulation.
The case is made of stained ply and the front panel is covered with black leatherette.
Screature
live at Witch Room in Sacramento
For the last few years, Screature have been one of our city's best bands both live and on record. Singer Liz has imperious command of her voice which she can deepen and flatten with amazing sustainability like a young Grace Slick or Siouxsie Sioux. The all-lady drum-organ rhythm section creates a deep, lush, velvety pocket for Liz's voice and Chris' guitar which achieves a killer mindmeld of Helios Creed's psych-punk snarl and Geordie's deft modulation.
On this night, they scrapped their entire songbook which has been their live staple since their first show, also heard on their excellent and only LP (so far). They debuted an entire batch of new songs, and OMG....they're even better than the first! Now they're about to take 'em on the road. If they come near you, you oughta go!
This was probably their biggest hit with audiences so far...

I found this chart after purchasing the lens, in a Voigtlander forum! Seems the Rolleinar 2.8/35 is the same lens as the Voigtlander Color-Skopal 2.8/35, both made by Mamiya in Japan. For anyone unfamiliar, Mamiya lenses are legendary.
Actual shots confirm the MTF charts: except in real life, my lens appears to render IQ better than the charts would indicate. The charts above are for the very early lenses: mine is a later, improved, Japan version. Overall, the lens compares favourably with today's f2/8/35mm lenses, and provides excellent contrast and resolution.
How to read an MTF chart?
[MTF= Modulation Transfer Function]
[lppmm= line pairs per millimetre]
* The chart displays 2 lines for different lppmm at different f stops.
* The solid lines measure 'sagital lines", running diagonally from lens left bottom corner, through centre, to right top corner.
* The dotted lines measure "meridonial lines", running perpendicular to sagital.
* The solid and dotted lines are grouped in pairs and displayed for 10, 20, 40 lppmm.
10 lppmm relates to contrast.
40 lppmm relates to resolution.
* In general: the higher the curves show on the chart, the better; the flatter the curves, the better; the closer the solid and dotted lines are to each other, the better.
* The number on the X axis is the diagonal distance from lens centre. Thus, 10 indicates a 20mm circle diameter imposed upon the centre of the 36x24 frame, for about 50% coverage overall.
* Due to inherent limitations of glass and design, lenses are optimised at a specific aperture, usually f8 for legacy. Thus, most charts show the curves progressing flatter as the lens is stopped own.
* Many factors determine the overall performance of a lens, more than MTF can measure. MTF serves objectively as a starting point.
Is contrast more important than resolution for general photography? Yes. Sharpness. Our eyes perceive sharpness as a function of contrast between items photographed: example, foreground against background..
Is resolution important? Yes. Without resolution, fine details are not visible. But how much is enough or too much? This answer depends entirely upon the photographer. Portraits require 'pleasing' resolution, and most top lenses provide more than enough to show clearly facial wrinkles and blemishes. Spy satellites require ultra resolution, and never have enough.

We also have Gravel Grinder Adventure Bicycles- Longer Wheel base and wider tires and rims:
The Renegade is ready for any adventure, no matter which Renegade you ride. The long and tall endurance geometry is designed specifically to ride comfortably all day on the road or in harsh conditions off-road. The smooth ride of the full carbon fiber Expert and Elite bikes set the bar for how we designed the steel Exploit and Expat and aluminum Exile to ride. With disc brakes and the ability to mount up to a 40c tire, these bikes are ready to go just about anywhere. All you need is the desire to push, pedal and explore.

Securing the rear wheel to the frame by threading it into the rear dropouts is not only safer, it's stiffer. Increasing the rear axle diameter from 10mm to 12mm provides a stable platform for the disc braking forces and allows us to tune the rear seat stays for more compliance/comfort
Tubeless and wider rims across the range provide great benefits on any terrain. The tubeless benefits are to help prevent flats with sealant as well as being able to adjust your tire pressure for the perfect ride. For example on dirt roads you may want to reduce the tire pressure to increase your contact patch for better grip without the worry of pinch flatting. The beauty of the 23-24mm wider rims effectively gives you a constant and wide tire surface yielding better handling, stability and confidence with plenty of surface grip for control
Just in case you want to continue to push the boundaries, we added cable routing capability for a 27.2mm dropper post. Carbon-made Elite and Expert models have routing for an internal post while the Exploit is fitted for external.
After two years of testing and research we are able to provide even more comfort by reducing the seat post diameter on the carbon Renegade to 27.2mm. Through the combination of a new frame seat cluster and clamping configuration we were able to accentuate the benefits of top-down 27.2mm seatpost comfort while not compromising on side-to-side flex
Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off road conditions while maintaining a comfortable ride. As you start to review the geo chart you will noticed we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements. Add size specific tubing and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect endurance geo for all sized riders. The reason for this is that we wanted the 48 and 61 to fit the rider correctly and make the geo changes needed to provide the perfect ride.
Size Specific Tubing
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame’s total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.
ACE is our Internal Cable Guide System that is companionable with mechanical or Di2 shifting as well as hydraulic or mechanical braking. To keep shifting and braking performing best in any & all conditions, we’ve routed all cables internally on the new Renegade and designed a completely enclosed BB guide to keep cables clean, assuring precise shifts and sure stops in all conditions. And if you want to shift electronically, we’ve got you covered. Incorporated into our internal cable guide system are a few extra cable fittings that make the Renegade Di2 compatible
To make life easier we have repositioned each mount externally in a variety of easy-to-use locations. With a wide collection of fork and frame mounts you can now choose to mount fenders, rear carrier, low-rider front carrier (or two cages for water bottles/ storage) and three front triangle water bottles. This will open up the options wherever and whenever you chose to ride. Bad weather, commuting, trekking, touring – anything is possible.
Disc Brakes
With endurance geometry designed to go anywhere the only choice was disc brakes. Now the Renegade Elite, Expert and Exploit all come with hydraulic brakes. With hydraulic disc brakes you will have the most consistent and confidence-inspiring braking available. Just think about jamming down hill on a rutted out fire road with your hands all over the hoods…the power & modulation benefits of hydraulic disc brakes become readily apparent
Thru Axles
The 12mm Thru-Axle on our Renegades offer the benefit of increased stiffness and a quick release system without any downside. Designed specifically to counter-act the stress and pull of disc brake tourque, these forks won’t drift when brakes are applied.

It is with great pleasure that devening projects + editions announces The Lodger, an exhibition of new work by Peter Otto. The show will feature new paintings, works on paper and editions.
In this exhibition, as throughout most of his career, Otto makes the task of facing untenable cultural truths only slightly easier by persuading us with a system of delivery almost impossible to ignore. Otto’s work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity—ever tested by social, cultural and political forces—bends, breaks and at times collapses. These paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. Evidence of the ways culture and society impose will and exert power is revealed on the surfaces of his verdant canvases and in the sculptures made from clay, plaster and bronze.
The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but Otto is able to bring forth stories of how cultural ruptures created by wars, famine, natural and man-made disasters form the basis from which that same culture is ultimately shaped. His paintings and drawings express a highly personal relationship with historical and contemporary events but always leaves the narrative open to evoke sensations interpretable from varied positions.
One thinks of Philip Guston when looking at Otto’s work. An acknowledged influence for the artist, Guston is a model for how to bridge the political and the formal. An example in Otto’s work is a regular use of stacked or hanging objects. Macabre associations are unavoidable, but one can never be sure. These “things” might also suggest built structures raised from a destroyed place or re-presented from an emergent culture. One might consider Guston’s piles of shoes and find a strong link to Otto. The concerns addressed in Otto’s most well-known paintings can also be seen in occasional large-scale public works in Holland such as Twisted Totem in Den Haag. This monumental work is a aggressively fragmented totem made from disparate parts. The sculpture, like the paintings, asks us to face difficult and challenging revelations about our culture and brings awareness to the ways in which we process trauma.
In one of several essays in Votive/Totem, the 2006 book on Otto, Rob Smolders writes: “Peter Otto juxtaposes his own malicious imagination with the imagination of society. He tightens pieces of string, erects crosses and gallows, puts up doors and fences, has a ball with junk he finds in his way: swastikas and Christmas trees, feet and heads, flowers and walking sticks. No dances in this world for it is inhabited by monsters and crutches.”
Of his painting and process, Smolders writes: “… Meanwhile, Peter Otto remained the painter he was. Magician when glazing, alchemist when patinating. The pictorial language of the paintings dating from the past five years is often acrid yet playful. Colors that are sometimes reminiscent of blood, tar or flesh, suddenly give way to the ripe color modulations of overblown flowers in an exuberant representation. References to war and violence that are too literal have been forced back. The tenor of the work is more general, even if the prevailing mood remains somber.”
Otto, who lives in Arnhem, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe including projects at Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen, the Kröller-Müller Museum, Boÿmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Galerie Reuten and Galerie Swart in Amsterdam, the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Perhaps linking a hospital car park with medieval chain mail is not such an outlandish idea, especially if it’s a Cambridge University teaching hospital. It certainly didn’t seem so for Allies and Morrison and Devereux Architects, who were commissioned by Addenbrooke’s to design one on for the expanded Rosie Maternity Hospital’s campus. The D&B proposal they came up with is lavished with playfulness and delight. The twisted yellow-painted aluminium facade that runs the full length and height of the building draws its inspiration from the rape seed fields that used to stretch away on the site, the twist creating a weaving modulation that imposes even while it dematerialises the mass.
The judges pronounced the design vision and detailing excellent throughout, along with rigorous and clear approaches to accessibility and way-finding – all-important in this medical environment.
The altitude motor that does work is driven with a steady roughly-square-wave shape with peaks at +8.5V or -8.5V depending on direction. At full speed you simply get 8.5 V DC. I imagine the pulses are a poor man's way to control the average voltage by controlling how long the level is low or high.
[Looking around the Internet, this is called Pulse-Width Modulation or PWM, which is a standard way to control the speed of a DC electric motor -- The motor can't respond to this 20 kHz oscillation in voltage because its mechanical inertia acts like a low-pass filter so it essentially “sees” a lower constant voltage equivalent to the temporal mean voltage of the signal]
The period of about 51 microseconds suggests the PIC is controlling the motor in periods of 1024 steps at 20 MHz (1024/20000000=51 us). There is a 20 MHz crystal on the PIC circuit board. Alternatively, it might be something like 256 steps at 5 MHz.
In the azimuth motor that doesn't work you see the same pattern, but the teeth of the wave widen over time until the signal is always high (at Rate 1 it takes many seconds, at Rate 9 it immediately jumps to always high). I imagine this happens because the encoder isn't moving, so the PIC thinks it has to raise the average voltage to get the motor up to speed.
I bought one used GT motor on eBay which is already on its way here (visually it looks the same, but I'm not sure it will actually work with the SLT circuitry and mount). I also ordered two new SLT motors, model SLT-F00-1A (instead of SLT-F00-1), from telescopes.net that may take a bit longer to arrive.
He's been out of his crib for almost 2 months; I just hadn't celebrated the milestone with a photo yet.
