Hoist a Bud to Richie Budd
There’s more to this Fort Worth artist than frat-holes getting wasted inside a glass case.

Fort Worth artist Richie Budd is accustomed to all kinds of unusual reactions to his sculptural installations and so-called “performative sculptures.” But his favorite response so far may be from a New York blogger who took to the web to denounce a recent collaboration between Budd and a friend, former Denton artist Will Robison, called “Come On Guy.” Displayed last month at the SCOPE New York art fair in New York City, the installation consisted of four very real New Jersey frat guys hooting, hollering, and drinking a lot of “Natty Light” –– Natural Light was actually a corporate sponsor –– inside a glass case.
“Art is horseshit,” the offended blogger fumed. “I can put four idiots in a glass box and call it art. I actually wouldn’t mind being in a glass box to rage at an art festival. How can anyone that is involved in art think any of it is legitimate?” Kind of a sweeping denunciation, to be sure, but one that Budd nonetheless appreciates.
“I loved that,” said the artist, 35, with a chuckle. “It’s better than the usual backslapping. At least criticism gives you something to work with.”
An alumnus of Denton’s Good/Bad Art Collective and a graduate of both the University of North Texas and University of Texas-San Antonio, Budd has received quite a bit of backslapping praise from Texas and New York critics for his oddball performance sculptures, which often deal with the relationship between technology and human sensory perception. He’s done other stunt-driven pieces a la “Come On Guy,” including an exhibit of his wisdom teeth perched horizontally on thin pedestals in a work called “All I Have to Give” –– it’s currently on display at his solo show at San Antonio’s Unit B Gallery. His “Diner Coupon” at a 2009 show in Dallas was a mounted series of 20 I.O.U.s, each printed with a generic photo of Budd’s earnest face. The presumption is that these rather dry, clerical vouchers can be cashed in, at some point, for something a little artier from the artist.
“I hope my art has a sense of humor,” Budd said. But to concentrate solely on the cheeky stuff is to miss some of his more sophisticated work, which combines intellectual and emotional elements in surprisingly vivid ways. Budd has done a striking series of sculptures using home appliances, medical devices, and white plastic resin that are oddly poignant. One, “Whiteout,” features a walker in a pile with calculators, tubes, and other flotsam partially covered with drippy plastic resin –– the resin mounds resemble some kinds of creatures trying to emerge from larval states. An interactive installation at a 2009 San Antonio show was called “Exposing Liminal Homeostasis” and consisted of a vertical industrial assemblage of mirrors, spotlights, speakers, a smoke machine, aromatherapy devices, a margarita maker, and recordings of Budd’s voice repeating Buddhist sutras and self-help affirmations. Viewers were bombarded by all kinds of sensory messages being emitted by this spindly, segmented, robotic monstrosity that appeared almost desperately eager to please.
“I rode in the cockpit on opening night,” said Budd, referring to an attached seat on the sculpture from which he could operate various controls. “I wanted it to be a Wizard of Oz, man-behind-the-curtain kind of effect.”
Budd is taking a hiatus from art-making and doing intensive reading in areas that interest him. He’s fascinated right now by method and process, so he’s reading everything from cookbooks to the Greek-Armenian mystic George Gurdjieff’s massive 1950 tome Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, which attempts through a convoluted allegory to help the reader separate reality from illusion. Given the apparently random ideas and objects that go into Budd’s “performative sculptures,” it’s difficult to pin down obvious influences in his work. Budd acknowledges that there are plenty of artists he admires, but he’s not much into idolizing other creative types. In this sense, the collaborative nature of Denton’s Good/Bad Art Collective has left a permanent stamp on him.
“My biggest influences are my friends, the artists who work with me,” he said. “Art is a symbiotic process. You get ideas from working with other people.”

Hier een puls diagramma van de opgenomen I2C communicatie tussen de TXT controller en de FPGA module.
Het Robopro programma zie je op:
www.flickr.com/photos/fotoopa_hs/26248417607
De data komt ter controle op de 7 segment displays en op de LCD display van de kogelbaan FPGA sturing en gelijktijdig ook op de Fischer TXT controller.
Eigenaardig is dat de eerste schrijf cycle een clock delay vertoont tussen het schrijven van het adres en de data. Die is niet te zien bij de 2 volgende schrijf cyclussen. De pauze door de TXT controller tussen iedere schrijfblok is ongeveer 110 usec. Later ga ik ook nog het blok schrijven ondersteunen zodat alle data in een cyclus kan verstuurd worden. Daarvoor moet je enkel een vlagje aanvinken in de blok parameter voor read of write van de I2C bij de Robopro software.
In the Hackspace area I found this snazzy Philips PM3010 scope. For added "Brazil" effect, it has a magnifying lens over the CRT face.

Pink cast for a week, after 3 weeks of open hole still draining... Dr is trying a cast to prevent movement so maybe the hole will close....
The Norfolk Scope (1968-71, Pier Luigi Nervi with Williams and Tazewell) is a multipurpose arena at 201 E. Brambleton Avenue, in Norfolk, Virginia. It's located on a superblock that was cleared during the postwar urban renewal period, in a vast plaza devoid of anything of interest except for oversized concrete streetlamps. Underneath is a 600+ car parking garage. It basically resembles a spaceship marooned in L'Enfant Plaza in Washington, DC. James Howard Kunstler, author of The Geography of Nowhere, described it as a vision of "yesterday's tomorrow."
The Bureau of Land Management has a unique mission within the Department of the Interior. It's the scope of our work that sets us apart. We manage activities ranging from outdoor recreation to livestock grazing, from mineral development and energy production to conservation of natural, historical and cultural resources.
More than 10,000 employees across the nation take on the responsibility of protecting our resources and how they're used on public lands. Our people take an active role in serving the communities adjacent to our public lands. And we balance the country's population growth with its natural resources - a consistent source of new challenges for our creative employees to face.

That is a wind indicator flag about 100 yards downrange looking through a Nightforce Scope. Ordinarily you wouldn't be sighting in on a wind flag. I was at my gun club, Riverbend, north of Atlanta, last week for a competition.
Nightforce scopes are a little pricey and heavy but very popular because they are rugged, reliable and don't shift point of bullet strike when they are jarred, like lesser scopes do.
Rifle competitors just hate it when they spend many $thousands on their gear and hundreds of hours in practice and load development only to lose badly because their scope is dancing around. But not Nightforce.
This was a new spot for me I've been wanting to scope out for a while for possible sunrise photos. I think it will work... or up top to the right.... 9 image stitch in Photoshop CS6

Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago is the first science and engineering research national laboratory in the United States, receiving this designation on July 1, 1946.[1] It is the largest national laboratory by size and scope in the Midwest. A multipurpose laboratory led since 2009 by director Eric Isaacs, Argonne maintains a broad portfolio in basic science research, energy storage and renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and national security. It is managed for the United States Department of Energy by UChicago Argonne, LLC, which is composed of the University of Chicago and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.[3] Argonne is a part of the expanding Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.
The laboratory is located on 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) in DuPage County, 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Chicago, Illinois, on Interstate 55, completely encircled by Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. When it was first established it was known as the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory (Met Lab), and it was previously located within Red Gate Woods. Early in its history, the laboratory was part of the Manhattan Project, which built the first atomic bomb.
Argonne National Laboratory had a smaller facility called Argonne National Laboratory-West (or simply Argonne-West) in Idaho next to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. In 2005, the two Idaho-based laboratories merged to become the Idaho National Laboratory.

Up close you can see the custom wooden knobs and brass fittings.
The pushbutton on the left is fairly standard but it has been dressed to hide the nut behind the brass plate. The original plastic knob was discarded in favor of the wooden disc.
On the right, the joystick is completely custom built using microswitches from old computer mouses. The mechanical shaft and spring-loaded slide mechanism were constructed from VCR guide wheels.

EL Nikkor 75mm f4 enlarging lens, PB-4 assembly, Spotting scope zoom lens.
Aquiring the subject.
This was a bit of a problem when I came up with the MkI. As magnification increases above 1:1 this becomes an ever greater problem due to the ever lessening depth of field.
Option one was to put a spike on a mount to bayonet on the front of the bellows, but that idea was discarded as unless sthe subject distance was within the coarse focus movement of the bellows sliding plate it could still take time to aquire the subject.
Back in the 1980's I bought a 'lens scope converter' from Jessops. Quite a handy bit of kit. Simply attatch to a lens and you can use it as a monocular. So in use, a 50mm camera lens becomes a x5 monocular, 100mm lens x10 and so on. Sounds impressive, but in reality the exit pupil is only about 2.5mm so the image is quite dim unless used with lenses with an aperture greater than f2.8 or in bright conditions. Next option was to try a spotting scope eyepiece and due to its far larger exit pupil, and that gives a really bright image. The image is not erect image ( upside down ) but never the less a significantly brighter image than that from the lenscope.
With that mounted and set to 20x and the bellows at minimum extension I found the subject would be dead on when the bellows was at full back extension using a 75mm lens. As the reversed 50, 28 and 24 have only a few mm between them in terms of lens to subject distance, the subject aquisition problem well and truely solved. Use that with a reversed lens and you have a seriously good bench magnifier.
