One of the rides at the London's Fair, Hyde Park
This ride is called Chaos and is shaped like a pendulum. Two to four hapless riders are strapped to their seats while the ride swings from left to right (and vice versa)
The "peak" end of the pendulum never "meets" so a full circle cannot be formed even with a long exposure
From the Hobart area. This is the Tasmanian interpretation of this species. There is clearly a confusion in the taxonomy of the Arthropodium milliflorum / pendulum group that requires resolution.
The lighting for Pendulum was simply horrible! I had a blast shooting them though, always wanted to see them live.
Think maths and physics are boring? The Large Pendulum Wave proves the opposite! This installation – almost seven metres high – is proof that mathematical and physical principles are able to generate superbly lyrical images. Large Pendulum Wave consists of a frame to which fifteen pendulums are attached, each culminating in an illuminated sphere. The pendulums are of different lengths, generating random patterns. Continuous waves become groups of pendulums ‘dancing’ at different tempos, which eventually descend into an apparent chaos. A little later, and the spheres suddenly seem to resume an orderly, harmonious pattern.
Not only the movement of the spheres, but the colour of their light, changes with an extraordinary sequencing. Together, the movements offer a dazzling spectacle. Ivo Schoofs and his team aim to bring science closer to the general public, with installations based on familiar phenomena and that are a delight to the eye.
