Parallax
Artist: Benjamin Jay Shand (Australia)
Collaborator: Nicolas Locane (Australia)
Parallax is inspired by the qualities of stalactites cladding the upper limits of a cave ceiling. In nature, these geological formations are created by the precipitation of minerals present in water as they drip through caverns. Benjamin Jay Shand reinterprets these vertical formations by suspending translucent linear elements from a gridded lattice of engineered steel.
As they hang from the canopy above, a very slight horizontal movement complements the strong vertical elements of the sculpture. Each ‘stalactite’ also glows with an illuminated pulse.
This is my little prototype device that I'm using to talk to a WPF app. You can see a video of the application in action also see my blog post

'Parallax' - Perception changes according to the angle of view, just like our identity according to circumstances. This series from my 'Mirage' project plays with light leaks to reveal the multiple facets of being. My model explores here how our different inner perspectives coexist. Between original poses and luminous accidents, these photos question: which version of ourselves do we reveal depending on the gaze cast upon us?
Another variation, this time without the defocus on the edges and with some technical detailing in it's place. Obviously there is no text on this because it's still not necessary as nothing is finalized.
The CNC router is a large, horizontal milling machine that can cut many types of materials, including plastics, Delrin and other non-ferrous materials. This particular machine handles a full sheet of 4’ x 8’ material and uses a 10-tool changer to pick the right cutter for the job. The primary use of this machine is to build our Parallax DIY solar panel products.
Little board from Parallax. Has the FTDI Vinculum chip. Seems easy to use, prevents you from having to do fucked up low level USB stuff.

Thought i'd try something in the light painting realm again tonight. I know a better result can be had if i keep trying but i do need a more elaborate setup. Consider this a test; the next will have a more scientific feel. One result that i really appreciate is how the sweeping lines cross eachother as if they were strands of wire draped over one another.

I wanted to shoot the flower, almost centered. This is what happens when you forget about the parallax at short range.
The stereo effect is still fairly subtle, despite a 960 mile baseline (Kansas - Maryland). Given the known baseline, and measuring the parallactic shift in these image, the distance to the Moon can be derived with about 3% accuracy.
(The brightest background star is Antares.)

Curator Professor Santhi Kaveri-Bauer gave SOAS alumni a personal tour of
the artworks from the South Asian Diaspora, giving a real insight into the
Asian-American experience illustrated through haunting photography and video
by artists from the US, UK and the Indian sub-continent.
This event was held in conjunction with the official launch of our new
alumni network in the States, the 'American Friends of SOAS'. The exhibition
took place at the Fine Arts Gallery, San Francisco State University
A concept idea for an album/EP cover for the artist Parallax, this evolved from the previous image, going for a more glitchy and abstract look - which is what his music basically is. The final version of the album is the next image, which is radically different from this.
Shown is a two inch baseline between the index mirror and scope center. The visible horizon should be at least a mile away to limit the effects of instrument parallax.
