a combined device for modulation and demodulation, for example, between the digital data of a computer and the analogue signal of a telephone line.
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.

Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.

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.

Manchmal behält sich ein(e) Künstler(in) eine gewisse Autonomie vor der Alchemie der Bilder und verwehrt dem Konzept dessen Rolle als Katalysator zwischen dem Selbst und der Geschichte seines/ihres Diskurses. Dies scheint bei unserem nächsten Gast auch der Fall zu sein; in einigen seiner Werke stürzt Karsten Konrad die Logik des Raums und strebt nach einer zeitlosen Strömung. Als Einleitung des vorigen Vortrags erwähnte ich die Archetypen; auch hier bekommt der Archetyp einen eigenen Leib. Es ist, als würde der Künstler komplexe Permutationen erschaffen und sie dann zu Form, in einem bestimmten Muster, koagulieren; oder als würde eine Bewusstseinsebene auf eine andere treffen. Aus der Quadratwurzel der zwei sich überschneidenden Zustände entsteht eine spektrale Modulation, die sich in stabile Formen zerlegt. Da bezeugen wir die Auflösung der Realität in einem Feld beliebiger subjektiver Projektionen, die völlig bewusst jenseits der Nüchternheit, jenseits des Subjekts, jenseits des Enthusiasmus pulsieren. Diese Veränderungen nennen wir Kunst - und über sie werden wir am 27. Mai mehr erfahren können...
Sometimes, an artist retains a certain autonomy before the alchemy of images and refuses to grant the concept its role of catalyzer between the Self and the history of his/her discourse. This seems to be also the case with our guest. In some of his works, Karsten Konrad overthrows the spatial logic and aspires to create an atemporal flow. I had mentioned archetypes in the previous introduction; it appears that here, too, the archetype is granted a body of its own. It is as if the artist would make complex permutations and would subsequently coagulate them into a shape, following a certain pattern - or as if a level of the consciousness would overlap on another. The square root of the two dissolving states would then result in a spectral modulation that divides itself in stable forms. In other words, we witness the dissolution of reality into an aleatory range of subjective projections that are knowingly guided to pulsate beyond lucidity, beyond enthusiasm, beyond the subject. These transformations are what we call art - and on the 27th of May we will have the chance to know more about them...

Purple LED lights as seen in room light, with the eyes (and camera) held steady. But are there REALLY purple LEDs in there?
Here's some spec's on this sweet system. It's a "Matrix" system, meaning that it has the ability to change all of it's routings on every preset.
Instead of being tied to one signal flow you can have any signal flow you want, when you want. Which is pretty handy for score music composer & guitar instrumental musician who has to constantly change the signal flow.
The switcher has a software interface that allows you to create an icon for each device and it's corresponding input(s) & Output(s), then using the mouse, connect the rig you want to have at that moment with no extra devices connected to the signal path for the cleanest path possible from pick ups to speakers.
A matrix switcher has 16x Inputs & 16x Outputs, so we decided to put 5 switchers in this system, connected them to each other & bunch of other cool gear. Each switcher has a "Group" responsibility:
1. "Master" - Magnetic & Piezo Inputs + 4x Amplifiers + 1 Axe FX ("Front End" of 4 Wire Config) + Multiple Connections to the other Switchers
2. "Harmonics" - Octave, Fuzz & Overdrive devices.
3. "Dynamics" - Compressors, EQ's Filters, Synthesizers.
4. "Modulations" - Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, UniVibe, & Tremolo.
5. "Time" - Delays & Reverbs + Axe FX ("Back End") for Reverb, Delay & Looper.
Any order & combination of series & parallel is possible, the possibilities for signal routings are only limited by the player's imagination...

Graham P. Weedon:
"The 21 000 year (21 ka) precession cycle was detected in all three cases, the 100 ka eccentricity cycle in two cases and the 41 ka obliquity cycle in one. Filtering revealed that the supposed 21 ka sedimentary cycles are grouped into packets of four or five small and large amplitude cycles. The packets reflect the 100 ka modulation of the 21 ka precession cycle. Local disruption of the packaging can be used to locate hiatuses in pelagic strata."

Im Inneren der Röhre treten Elektronen aus einer Glühkathode als freie Elektronen aus (Elektronenemission) und fliegen unter dem Einfluss eines elektrischen Feldes zu einer Anode. Durch ein Steuergitter zwischen Kathode und Anode lässt sich der Strom beeinflussen, denn durch unterschiedliche Gitterspannungen bzw. elektrische Felder kann man den Elektronenfluss hemmen oder verstärken. Darauf beruht die Verwendung der Elektronenröhre als Verstärkerröhre oder Oszillator.

words from the New Forms Facebook event page:
Sound Migrations is a unique collaborative project which began when Meredith Bates, an award-winning violinist, invited interdisciplinary artist and musician Lief Hall and visual artist Josema Zamorano to co-create an improvisational music-video performance as the final part of her artist residency at Western Front.
Their collaboration converged, looking for a dialogue between aural, visual, and spatial experiences, reflecting on migrations and the living transformations that are part of it: sound becoming body movement, voice becoming ocean waves, music becoming awareness of space, wind becoming texture, the forest becoming cellular copulation, colour becoming mood, perception becoming the environment itself.
The video-performance by Josema Zamorano was created in dialogue with the moment by using a digital camera as instrument to "play" two photomontages that depict abstracted landscapes.The imagery, read via body movements and gestural modulations over the lens, was processed in camera to produce moving colour fields, projected live throughout the venue.

Blueberries:
Blueberries are among the highest anti-oxidant value fruits. The ORAC value of 100 g fresh blueberries is 5562 TE (Trolex equivalents). Their antioxidant value largely derived from poly-phenolic anthocyanidin compounds such as chlorogenic acid, tannins, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol.
Strawberries:
Fresh berries are an excellent source of vitamin-C (about 98% of RDI), which is also a powerful natural antioxidant. Consumption of fruits rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents, counter inflammation and scavenge harmful free radicals.
Bananas:
There are about 110 calories in a banana

Claims regarding the benefits of Yakult consumption are supported by an array of scientific studies, according to the manufacturer's website.Those could range from maintenance of gut flora,modulation of the immune system, regulation of bowel habits and constipation and finally effects on some gastrointestinal infections.
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).

A (slightly excessive) experimental setup for the March solo gig. The new Guyatone ST2 gives pickups a big fat boost which drives the HOG. The HOG is split into a "clean" and an effected channel. The "clean" channel drives the second effects loop (Yamaha NE-1, DOD Classic Fuzz, Crybaby and Vox 1904). The "clean", the HOG and the second effects loop all run through the first effects loop with a stereo Line 6 Echo Park giving the whole thing an ambient shimmer.
A previous version of this setup featured a Boss Super Shifter (on Harmonist mode for octave up, and Pitchshifter mode for octave down) which was placed either at the beginning or the end of the second effects loop. This wasn't sufficiently distinct from the HOG other than when it was being fuzz-wahed.
This setup is probably too big for the gig anyway. Something using the Super Shifter rather than the HOG, perhaps with some ring modulation, might work better. But all in all, the boosting effect of the new Guyatone Compression Sustainer had a rather bracing effect upon all and sundry and on that basis this should be thought of as a partial triumph!
Airbrushed various Alclads onto the tripod after polishing the helmet (hohoho).
I thought I'd try colour modulation for the first time on the tanks. Looks crazy now but it should tone down nicely.
My 1/35 scale AFV Club Stryker M1126 8X8 infantry combat vehicle is done! Much to my surprise, this kit went together with only a couple minimal fit issues, self induced! I had expected it to be a bit on the iffy side as the kit has been in my stash for many years now, and older kits tend to be less engineered than recent ones, but it turned out to be an enjoyable build.
I decided to to it as a vehicle that has been in the field for a while during the summer, perhaps on maneuvers in a training facility, so the weathering is not that heavy. I did use burnt sienna oils with mineral spirits (my first use of this thinner with oils as I usually use the less odorous Turpenol) to do some of the filtering and dirtying but the majority of the modulation is done using the usual black undercoat with white accent under main color coat method.
I also used a very light coat of Tamiya buff thinned way down and sprayed on at a foot or so from the model to create a light dusty look as well. That especially worked well on the tires, which are vinyl mounted to plastic hubs (really nicely detailed tires I might add). I did do some panel accenting with Tamiya Black Panel Liner around the raised hull elements. I sanded the tire treads to make them look worn which really brought out that detail, in my opinion.
The decals went on quite easily and released from their carrier sheet with little to no time needed, not like the previous couple of kits i have worked on…a very delightful development! I did use the Micro Set and Sol method to embed them, but the vehicle numbers all silvered on me (think I should have used more gloss under them to relieve this issue). I am still ok with that as you can always weather to compensate after the fact. Prior to weathering, everything was clear coated with Testor’s Dull Coat…still my favorite flat coat.
For once I have few criticisms of the kit and am delighted to add it to my ever growing shelf of diverse armor builds. Definitely a fun build!
yamaha tx81z sound module
excellent condition
with manual
make an offer
will ship
The TX81Z uses the same synthesis method as the classic Yamaha DX-7.
Voice Banks
The TX81Z has 5 banks of 32 voices each. Banks A-D contains 128 factory preset voices, and bank I (internal) has 32 user voice memories for storing edited edited presets of totally new voices that are created by the user.
Play Single Mode
Play Single mode allows one voice to be played at a time, using chords of up to 8 notes.
Play Performance Mode
Performance Mode allows the TX81Z to act as several independent instruments. The maximum number of notes can be set for each instrument, and any combination is possible with a total of 8 notes. The Note Limit function creates any type of split or double effect even when playing notes on one MIDI channel.
Program Change Table
The TX81Z memory contains a Program Change Table that allows the user to specify which voice (banks I, A-D) is to be selected in response to each MIDI program change (1-128). If the Program Change Table contains a performance number, the entire setup of the TX81Z (independent settings for all 8 instruments) can be changed by pressing one switch on the keyboard.
Micro Tune Tables
Incoming Note On messages can be routed through one of the 13 Micro Tune Tables (2 user-programmable, 11 preset) to produce non-standard intonation. Eleven scales such as Mean Tone, Werckmeister, Pythagorean and Kirnberger are preset, and two memories are provided for custom scales.
Three Effects
One of three effects (Pan, Transposed Delay, Chord Set) can be selected for use in each performance memory. Using Pan, the sound can be periodically shifted between two outputs. The Transposed Delay effects lets one note trigger a delayed, transposed note, with delay time, transposition, number of repetitions, and velocity of the delayed note being set by the user. Chord Set assigns up to 4 notes to be sounded by a single incoming note. 12 notes can be named, with a different chord for each.
Oscillator Wave Select
Oscillator Wave Select gives the user a choice of 8 different waveforms to use in each operator, generating sounds more complex than were possible with previous 4-operator FM synthesizers.
EG Shift
EG Shift sets the range of the envelope, and can determine a minimum operator output level even before a note is played.
Voice Function
Poly/Mono, Pitch Bend Range, Portamento Time, and Transpose can be set for each voice. MIDI controllers on a keyboard can regulate pitch or amplitude modulation, and a Breath Controller can control two additional parameters - EG Bias and Pitch Bias.

Corners of Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey, Nolita
The Puck Building, originally the home of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district.
The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city 's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture.
Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-known humor magazines. Published in both English and German-language editions , Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J. Ottman Lithographic Company, largest in the country, which shared the Puck Bllilding space.
The current building is the result of three stages of construction, all supervised by architect Albert Wagner; the building and its additions read as a single unified composit ion. The style is an adaptation of the Romanesque
Revival, which had reached great popularity in the 1880s through the works of H. H. Richardson. Wagner's Romanesque, however, was not Richardsonian. A German-born architect, Wagner had worked in New York for Prague-trained Leopold Eidlitz, and his version of the Romanesque appears to reflect the round-arched Gernan "Rundbogenstil" that Eidlitz had brought to New York several decades earlier.
The Puck Building remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan. The comic magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler (1838-1894) and Adolph Schwarzman first appeared in German in 1876. Puck's attitude varied from d humor to merciless satire. Politicallv, in Keppler's time, supported the Democratic Party, but it was never a partisan magazine. It ridiculed poiitical corruption, monopolies, labor unions, suffragism, and all forms of graft, extravagance, and unjustice. It reviewed theater and musical performances. It laughed at fashions and different fads.
In March 1885, with the magazine's circulation and success on the rise, Keppler, Schwarzmann and Ottman purchased property on the southwest corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets to be the site of a building to house both Puck and the Ottman company. The location was at the fringes of what was then New York's printing district, whose -center was the Astor Library on Lafayette Street (then Lafayette Place). The authors of a Puck supplement issued on the occasion of its tenth anniversary wrote that "Houston street marks the southernmost boundary of a region much affected by large publishing houses."
Publishing houses, periodicals, and printers were located throughout the neighborhood during the 1880s and 1890s, and it was a natural choice for Puck. The original building was erected in 1885-86 to the designs of Albert Wagner, but went through several additions and alterations. In August 1890, spurred by the continuing growth of the magazine, Keppler, Schwarzann, and J. Ottman's heirs bought the adjoining property to the south at 281 Mulberry Street and erected an addition to the Puck Building in 1892-93, again to Albert Wagner's design. The two-year delay was caused by uncertainty in 1890, about the potential route of a proposed new rapid transit line.
Although the Puck Building is too late to be considered part of the Rundbogenstil, it appears to show the influence of Wagner's earlier experience with it. Such a connection would help explain both the references to the style as "Renaissance," and its dissimilarity to the then more popular Richardsonian version of the Romanesque.
The enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction. Its identity was further announced by the statue of Puck at the Houston and Mulberry Street corner of the building, where the two main entrances originally met, one on either street. There is also a smaller statue over the Lafayette Street entrance. The larger '"Puck" on East Houston Street was apparently designed by Henry Baerer, the sculptor of the bust of Beethoven in Central Park. The designer of the smaller "Puck" is not known.
The Puck Building today comprises the original 1885-86 structure and the 1892 addition, less the western portion of each removed in 1898; the Lafayette Street elevation dates from the latter alteration, but duplicates the earlier design. The building occupies an irregular lot bounded by East Houston Street on the north, Mulberry Street on the east, Jersey Street on the south, and Lafayette Street on the west.43 Despite the complexity of its building history, the Puck reads as a single structure retaining the integrity of its original design. The original portion is seven stories high, and the addition nine, but otherwise they are practically identical in design and material.
The building's architectural effects derive from the rhythms set up by arches of varying width, within bays of equal width, and from an adept use of red brick which creates the modulations in the piers, the definition of the arches, and the corbeling of the cornice. Cast-iron window enframements, statuary, and wrought-iron entrance gates, and the cast-iron and glass vault-lighting, provide the necessary contrast in materials.
The original section now comprises four bays on Lafayette Street, three bays on East Houston, and six bays on Mulberry. On Mulberry, the bays are defined by large brick piers that run the full height of the building. Each pier is actually in two sections: a wider pier at the first and second stories, and a narrower pier above. Each pier has a small brownstone base and rests on a five-foot high block of polished gray granite; each is banded in projecting brick. Within each bay at the first and second stories is a double-story brick arch, with projecting brick edges. Ihthin the arch, each bay consists of an upper arched lunette and a lower rectangle, separated by a cast-iron transom. The lunette contains a central double-hung one-over-one window, flanked on either side by a swing window topped by a quarter-arch pane. Beneath the spandrel are three large rectangular windows with transoms above and six-paned basement windows below.
The second and fourth bays south of East Houston Street contain secondary storefront entrances; the door replaces the central rectangular window of each storefront. The first and second stories are set off from those above by a brownstone stringcourse, beneath which is a band of corbeling.
The second section of pier, running from the third story to the seventh story, is narrower than the lower section; each is banded and adorned with an elegant iron ornamental tie-rod end at the fourth story, and a smaller one at the top. At the third and fourth story each bay comprises a pair of two-story arches, each half the width of the arches below. These arches rest on small brick piers with patterned brick "capitals." Within each arch are a pair of four-over-four doublehung windows above the brick spandrel, and a similar pair below the spandrel; each window in the pair is separated from the one next to it by a slender cast-iron pier with neo-Grec detailing. The third and fourth story bay is topped by corbeling and a brownstone sillcourse above.

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.

Tonal Contrast
Intention: To show isolation between the lamp and the frozen lake using tonal contrast in the blacks and whites.
Reading: Freeman says in visual terms, black and white allows more expression in the modulation of tone, in conveying texture, the modeling of form, and defining shape. Here I wanted to use black and white to convey the texture of the ice in the water and the shape of the lamp.
Outcome: I am pleased with the outcome and think I executed my vision. I think while the lamp is the main focus and isolated object in the photo, the background is still simple but interesting to draw the eye in and towards the lamp.
Edits: Converted to black and white, cropped, increased contrast, increased blacks, increased clarity, decreased highlights
Listen: A Music and Video Experiment
Featured video art and experimental music throughout the Murphy Art Center -- including Alchemy in Suite 3, Suite 4 next door and multiple spaces upstairs near Big Car. www.bigcar.org
Friday, March 6, 2009.
Big Car's First Friday show for March featured a bevy of local, regional, national and international video and sound artists. All of the music accompanied video art projections. The night included a show of Herron video artists in Suite 214 next door to Big Car (see artist statements below), a program of experimental videos from other local artists in Suite 3 and 4 on street level (J. Andrew Salyer, Jennie Mynhier, Laura Salyer, Jim Walker, Flounder Lee) and a Microcinema screening (FATELESS, Color + Modulation, SLIDE, Hub Culture Retrospectives: Antarctica, Independent Exposure: Asthmatic Kitty Records Edition 2008, The Collected Films of Ryan Jeffery, Op Art, Modular Moves, Jellies: The Art of Nature) also in Suite 214. For more about Microcinema visit www.microcinema.com.
The night's musical offerings in Suite 215 (Big Car's regular space) and in other nearby spaces included performances by Butler University's Ensemble 48 (playing a soundtrack to the silent film "Man with the Movie Camera"), Marck Ferrari, Ben Ishmael Revival, Shiny Black Shirt, Sea Krowns, Ensemble 48, Actuel, Playboy Psychonauts, Stallio, Sky Thing and Tonos Triad.
Also in the street level space that night, Big Car also hosted the installation "Unified Fields" that featured the interactive music and art of duo Mana2 (Jordan Munson, Michael Drews).
The event was sponsored by Microcinema and was a partnership with the Toby at the IMA.
