This is a new direction we are exploring using the micro pulse arc welder.
We started making wire frame insect designs as brooches. In another unrelated design path we were working with antique Indian dies, forming patterned wire.
There was a lot of this pattern material laying around on the bench. It looked pretty cool, so started welding it up.

In times of corona the city pulse is a little bit slowly. But the colours...!

Featuring Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's Pulse Front: Relational Architecture 12
Get to the heart of this exhibit where man and technology converge in a dazzling light sculpture
A matrix of light beams over Harbourfront, originating from twenty of the worlds most powerful robotic searchlights, is entirely controlled by a network of sensors that measure the heart rate of passers-by. Up to 20 metal sculptures, with embedded sensors and computers, are placed along Toronto's harbour. Pulse readings, from people gripping the sculptures, are converted into light pulses by computers that also determine the orientation of the beams. With over 200,000 watts of power and 15 km visibility, Pulse Front blends the intimate with the spectacular in one of Toronto's most popular public spaces.
Beautiful light trials, creating some patterns that resemble the same trials made by a nerve (or heart, being more common :P ) pulse.
Happy World Pulse Day! It's a welcome distraction so that I don't have to harp on about hail storm #3 which rolled through yesterday afternoon, interrupted the mowing, and left me stranded in the cottage until it passed.
These climbing beans are a Greek variety of shell beans. I've been growing them for what seems like centuries. They haven't done well this season, so these are potentially next Spring's seed stock rather than ingredients for Cook's pulsating wonders.
Raindrops clinging to their tails are not from the evening's storm. Another rolled through about 1am — I missed it — and was followed by the 4am edition which I did see. One of the tradies who are in today has a dog terrified by storms, so he attested to the 1am visitation. Between those three storms, they dumped another inch of rain for the wettest February I can remember and I guess those drops are remnants of the one that woke me this morning.
Suffice it to say, the ground is too saturated for gardening or mowing today, so we can celebrate it together, unmolested by dirt under our fingernails or the smell of exhaust fumes and new mown grass in our nostrils. Instead, there'll be fresh paint on the scullery ceiling, and if it gets delivered in time, lacquer on the entry woodwork.
The pulse suit was developed as a frame to navigate difficult tarrain with ease. It long cannon arms are as integral to it's movement as it's mono wheel. The arms help balance the machine in tight corners and can be used as a vaulting device to make the suit airborn. Used mostly be rebels in the Quinztar quadrant becuase of the simplicity of production.
Doing a lot of mainly monochromatic colorschemes lately - this mono-wheel idea has been done before and will be done again. This is just one of my takes on it. Of course I had to remove the fig's arms - the rest of him is in there though. Kind-of a crap build just to build, but here it is - on white now.
Never sure that my comprehension is up to par, I've hedged my bets on World Pulse Day, and taken the opportunity to confirm that mine is still present.
Check, heartbeat detected! Alright, pace isn't registering because I'm on the floor, the distance is how far I've wandered about finding bits and pieces and the timer has registered the minutes I've wasted setting up this shot.
It's customary to take note of the ancillary equipment used on a shoot:
• a manual 50mm SMC Takumar M42 lens wide-open at f1.4, mounted through a KIPON M42-EOS adapter
• Canon RS-60E3 shutter release
• Supplementary light from a Petzl Tikka XP with in-built diffuser
• Garmin HRM-Pro wireless strap provided the HR signal and the 80D was mounted on a Sirui tripod
That's why it took nearly 25mins to take one silly photograph!!

Steel Pulse
Steel Pulse is a roots reggae musical band. They originally formed at Handsworth Wood Boys School, in Birmingham, England, composed of David Hinds (lead vocals, guitar), Basil Gabbidon (born Basil Glendon Gabbidon, 29 October 1955, Buff Bay, Jamaica - lead guitar, vocals), and Ronald McQueen (bass). Hinds, as songwriter, has always been the engine behind Steel Pulse, from their early days establishing themselves in the Birmingham club scene onwards.Originally produced by Pete King
Formed in 1975, their debut release, Kibudu, Mansetta And Abuku arrived on the small independent label Dip, and linked the plight of urban black youth with the image of a greater African homeland. They followed it with Nyah Love for Anchor. Surprisingly, they were initially refused live dates in Caribbean venues in the Midlands because of their Rastafarian beliefs. Aligning themselves closely with the Rock Against Racism organisation and featuring in its first music festival in the spring of 1978, they chose to tour with sympathetic elements of the punk movement, including the Stranglers, XTC etc.: "Punks had a way of enjoying themselves - throw hordes at you, beer, spit at you, that kind of thing". Eventually they found a more natural home in support slots for Burning Spear, which brought them to the attention of Island Records.
Their first release for Island was the Ku Klux Klan 45, a considered tilt at the evils of racism, and one often accompanied by a visual parody of the sect on stage. By this time their ranks had swelled to include Selwyn 'Bumbo' Brown (keyboards), Steve 'Grizzly' Nisbett (drums), Alphonso Martin (vocals, percussion) and Mykaell Riley (vocals). Handsworth Revolution was an accomplished long playing debut and one of the major landmarks in the evolution of British Reggae (Executive Producer Pete King). However, despite critical and moderate commercial success over three albums, the relationship with Island Records had soured by the advent of Caught You (released in the US as Reggae Fever).
Tom Terrell, who would later serve as their manager, was instrumental in masterminding the U.S. premiere of Steel Pulse on the night of Bob Marley's funeral, which was broadcast live around the world from the 9:30 Club, 930 F Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. on May 21, 1981.
They switched to Elektra Records, and unveiled their most consistent collection of songs since their debut with True Democracy, distinguished by the Garvey-eulogising 'Rally Round' cut. A further definitive set arrived in Earth Crisis. Unfortunately, Elektra chose to take a leaf out of Island's book in trying to coerce Steel Pulse into a more mainstream vein, asking them to emulate the pop-reggae stance of Eddy Grant. Babylon The Bandit was consequently weakened, but did contain the anthemic "Not King James Version", which was a powerful indictment on the omission of black people and history from certain versions of the Bible.
Their next move was of Hinds of Steel Pulse to MCA for State Of Emergency, which retained some of the synthesized dance elements of its predecessor. Though it was a significantly happier compromise, it still paled before any of their earlier albums. Centennial was recorded live at the Elysee Montmartre in Paris, and dedicated to the hundred year anniversary of the birth of Haile Selassie. It was the first recording since the defection of Alphonso Martin, leaving the trio of Hinds, Nisbett and Selwyn. While they still faced stern criticism at the hands of British Reggae fans, in the United States their reputation was growing, becoming the first ever reggae band to appear on the Tonight television show. Their profile was raised further when, in 1992, Hinds challenged the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission in the Supreme Court, asserting that their cab drivers discriminated against black people in general and Rastafarians in particular.
The Steel Pulse message of hope, education and activism has struck a chord with music lovers worldwide. Their international success has resulted in a Grammy award for their 1986 classic Babylon The Bandit, and nominations for subsequent albums Victims (1991) and Rastafari Centennial (1992). In 1989, the group contributed I Can't Stand it to the soundtrack of Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing.
In 1994, the group headlined some of the world's biggest reggae festivals including Reggae Sunsplash USA, Jamaican Sunsplash, Japan Splash and Northern California annual Reggae on the River Festival. In 1986, Steel Pulse contributed an ethereal version of Franklin's Tower on Pow Wow Records' Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead compilation. They recently covered The Police's Can't Stand Losing You for a reggae compilation of Police tunes that will appear on the Ark 21 label. The band is particularly proud of "Rastanthology," a 17-song collection of Steel Pulse classics (the 1996 compilation was released on the band's own Wise Man Doctrine label).
"We're not here to start a physical revolution, we're just here to open everybody's eyes and let them check themselves and continue in a very educational mode to change things on that tip", Hinds explains. "We're losing ourselves and I think it's very important for us to realize that. Too many of our youths have been lost to drugs, or by the gun, or not having the education needed to persevere and move in an upward direction. I think RAGE & FURY will contribute to their enlightenment."
In 2007, The band released their music video for 'Door Of No Return', a track taken from their latest studio album "African Holocaust", which explores themes of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Shot on location in Senegal and New York City by Driftwood Pictures Ltd.
Steel Pulse played Friday night on the Jazz World Stage at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival.
Steel Pulse are collaborating with Driftwood Pictures to create a definitive feature length documentary on the band's thirty year history.
The band is currently working on a new album due out in 2010 and has released the single Barack Obama Song.
Original member Basil Gabbidon released the album Reggae Rockz in 2008.

Your rational mind knows that the curve is there yet watching this train speed towards you and steadily fill the frame can't help but elicit a visceral reaction. 2928 brings a mixed manifest straight down the barrel of the Superior Sub.
For much of the Superior Sub, good light on westbounds is only available on summer evenings, it was nice to have a steady fleet of them. Ladysmith, WI, July 22, 2015.
