The more I tweak this project, the more I love it. Through controlled accidents, I got it to look rather Nebular. I will continue tinkering and if all goes well, soon I will have an audio-responsive universe!
Read about it here. There is a short video too!
An opportunity to shamelessly mention "Flora & the Prince", the brand new oratorio I've been writing for Dundee University, and which will be premiered in Dundee on 12th March! The first performance of the complete new piece will be recorded.
After taking a little break from the whole graff thing, I came back with this. It is a sneak peak of a wall I am doing with Less and Smug. Finished shots to come soon enough.
The Ben Day process involved screens with raised dots or patterns that could be painted with ink or other media and then burnished onto prepared areas of an exposed zinc plate before etching, a photographic negative before exposing onto a prepared metal plate, or even onto artwork or ad material before it was photographed for the printing process. A complex and unique process, it appears in use from the late 1800s through the 1980s—maybe beyond in specialized industries or printing plants that didn't update.
On this page, a standard form of the device is shown with details about what tints and patterns are available. It appears to be from
The page shows at the bottom the printed results of applying 40 patterns to photographic negatives before etching and then printing. Compare No. 532 on this page with the identical No. 532 in the next image in this sequence. A 20% tint applied as a layer of pigment to a negative means that 20% of the exposed area is opaqued out, leaving 80% clear. When exposed onto a photosensitized plate, the clear areas harden. During etching, only the unexposed portions wash away. As a result, the relief plate used directly for printing (or through duplication in the stereotype mold/plate method) have 80% of the area covered in tint.
