For the rebranding of Actelion, a biopharmaceutical company, we developed a tool for automatic image generation that enables the generation of a unique, in-itself homogeneous graphic image world out of heterogeneous visual material.
One frame from an art piece that will hopefully be projected on a dome screen. Image is created with Processing.

The best way for me to come up with new ideas is by changing or challenging the process itself.
I used the roller paint to save time, but I think it had a real effect on the overall shapes of the letters. Looking forward to more...
Fracking: a process of drilling down into the earth to release natural gas from shale rock fields. Technological developments now have advanced to the point where it is possible to drill vertically and then horizontally. Millions of gallons of "sweet, potable water" are used in the process. In other words, this is the same water you drink, bathe in and need for everyday uses. This water then returns as flowback which is nothing more than a toxic, even radioactive witches brew of undisclosed chemicals that threatens everyone's health. Not only that, but the water is gone and can't be brought back. And the land itself is also destroyed. Would you want to live near a place where this is occuring?
And let's be sure to thank our former vice-president cheney for this process to " spill " across the nation. When in office he made sure to insert the " Haliburton Regulation" in environmental laws which exempted this process from regulation by the EPA. Of course, he used to be CEO of that company. Well, he had one thing right: there were weapons of mass destruction. They just
weren't in Iraq.

The scan of this print did not work as well as I wanted it to but this is one of my fav landscape pics, taken from the dirt road running behind the Langeberg Mountains, past Tradouw towards Heidelberg. The "sheep" on the hill are actually rocks; the colours are all distorted because of the cross processing.

The Case of the Found Slide Film
We went to New Jersey for Halloween. This is were we were given an Argus camera that was recently found in a garage cleaning. It is a very solid camera, more boxy than my Kodak Signet 40. They were certainly built to last back in the day.
When we popped it open, we found a used roll of film.
“Whoa, do you think we could develop this?”
After a little research, (reading the canister, mostly), the film is ANSCOCHROME and yes, it sounds more interesting if it is in all capital letters. What we know is that it was slide film (I’m actually not sure how we figured that out). It is probably 30 years old. And that it is probably color (chrome gives it away). It has 12 photos from the past and I want them.
I brought it into Freestyle where they in turn sent it to Swan Photo Lab, who I was confident could at least diagnose what it is. If they couldn’t handle it, I knew we’d be one step closer to figuring this out.
Yesterday, I got the film back.
This is what we found out: it does not use E6 but E4 processing and they do not do it. Fair enough. It’s tungsten type film (says on the canister) and that does mean that it is color. Also on the canister: ”Only open in total darkness. Process in 80 F chemistry.” That means little of anything to me, but this may be the key to deciphering the processing/developing type.
It also caused a good laugh in the store about warming up chemicals and putting it in. ”Do you guys have any bleach? Let’s put it in that!”
A google search in store said that one of the differences between E6 and E4 processing is that a hardener is added to the process. Nowadays, slide film has a hardener added to it in manufacturing, according to Freestyle peeps. I expect that this information will be corroborated once I…
