“Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside,” said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. “This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it’s extremely promising.” The results were presented today at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ international conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems by Harvey Ho, a former graduate student of Parviz’s now working at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif. Other co-authors are Ehsan Saeedi and Samuel Kim in the UW’s electrical engineering department and Tueng Shen in the UW Medical Center’s ophthalmology department. (uwnews.washington.edu)

A research laboratory in Japan is working on a video format that goes far beyond even regular (and still relatively new) high definition television. This technology, named Super Hi-Vision, delivers a screen with 16 times the pixel resolution of an ordinary HDTV screen, giving a sharper, more detailed picture. This ultra high definition television is so cutting edge that the researchers working for NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, had to build their own camera to produce test footage for demonstration purposes - they combined 16 normal HDTV recorders. NHK claims that Super Hi-Vision provides clearer images with a wider viewing angle, for a result ’so real that viewers feel as if they were actually at the site of the broadcast and find themselves attempting to touch what’s on the screen.’ The BBC, who often collaborates with NHK on programme production, is planning to use NHK’s technology to screen coverage of the 2012 Olympic games on big screens in city centres across the UK. But for the time being, Super Hi-Vision can only be found in Tokyo, at NHK’s Broadcasting Centre, where it is projected onto a 10 by 5.5 metre screen. Full-time public broadcasting in ultra high definition is planned to begin in 2025.
We’ve seen a lot of intelligent clothing, and we’re excited to add the Personal Force Field Suit to the list. If you’ve ever felt nervous walking around alone, or you’ve got a really big social bubble that you don’t like permeated, or if you simply have a lot of gadgets, then you’re going to hope this concept from Frog Design makes it into production.The fabric on the futuristic track suit has the ability not only to charge all your gadgets, but to act as a personal force field to protect you. It detects your mood by assessing things like heart rate and the sweat on your skin to detect your emotional nervousness. If it senses fear, the suit charges up, ready to radiate its protective barrier and send out stunning zaps to anyone who might invade your bubble.By weaving conductive filaments into fabric Frog Vision’s (strategic creative consultancy) concept clothing can provide power to gadgets by just slipping the devices into pockets. By wearing the clothes you will instantly start generating electricity and with micro generators embedded into the seams all your movements with be converted into power. Your suit can discharge its power at any time, creating a shell of electricity and forming a personal forcefield to keep you safe down darkened alleyways. (gadgettastic) SOURCED AT TRENDHUNTER

“The big deal with Albert Hubo is the battery-powered untethered walking body. The Albert Hubo is the first ever walking robot with humanlike expressions.

EXPO SMALA by Stany Cambot (in passe muraille Bordeaux) (14.07.2007)
July 19, 2007—A new hope has arrived for amputees that would make Luke Skywalker feel right at home: a highly advanced bionic hand controlled by a patient’s mind and muscles.
The newly released iLimb is the first prosthetic hand to have fully functional motorized digits that move and bend independently, its makers say. Electrodes taped to the skin transmit signals to tiny motors that power the fingers.
Previous artificial hands had only a thumb and forefinger that worked in a clawlike grasping action. But the new device allows amputees to carry out more delicate movements such as peeling a banana, typing on a computer, or eating with a knife and fork.
The iLimb is also covered by a semitransparent “cosmesis” that is computer modeled to look like human skin.
The hand, manufactured by Touch Bionics of Scotland, went on sale Tuesday in Britain for £8,500 (U.S. $17,454).
Morris C.S 2007, Photo in the News: Bionic Hand Unveiled in Britain [online], National Geographic, Available from: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/070719-bionic-hand.html [Accessed: (26.07.2007)].
A device, either external or implanted, that substitutes for or supplements a missing or defective part of the body.
The pins represent pixels which is the main source of how we digest and disperse information in the 21 century. With the increase of these pixel conversations comes at the price of our other voice box. Communities lost within TV soap operas, the pixel addictions of the internet provide information and misinformation of the hyper real that is slowly becoming the real, the e-real. Delivered for free with our Tescos shopping are the dead butcher’s children’s hands from the village shop which has all but gone to the cheaper alternative of pixel fetish.
Finally the pixels win, and representation spills out to reveal that nothing is real, all is imagery, icons of a digital past. My e-children’s e-children watch the e-Rhino on the TV on the Internet on the TV on the Internet on the TV on the Internet. My MP3 player skips of the analogue mistakes of human error perfected.
The piano sounds of master keyboardists playing the internet sonata’s global tune, resonating in the fabrications of digitally enhanced dirt, prosthetic realism. Nothing remains. All is decay. The body of the world photo-shopped, photo-fucked, only the imagery of memories..

This wurk investigates the stretching, pitching, morphing, diluting a 12 frame clip from a 1941 film about how the eye functions.
http://www.archive.org/details/HowtheEy1941
By digital mirroring techniques the video is treated as a sculpture and used to create a portrait.
This wurk looks at the repeated representation of popular culture, that which creates a new plastic history of remakes so much to the point that the new although still resembling the original has been distorted and disfigured.
The sound interplay through out the piece fuses a dialogue from a monologue resulting in words which, don’t exist but the brain tries to configure them to a recognised sound. The repeated re-pitched sounds become a muddy montage as the original voice becomes drowned in the crowd.
This is a performance piece lasting 30 minutes in a dark room, The piece takes you from the sublime to the bastard plastic surgery of re-presentation and disfigurement of what, if left alone would remain a beautiful to a beaten, bruised unrecognisable version.
Reflections
Simple, works.
By just using a limited clip only 12 frames. This allowed for more experimenting in different ways. Good process, simple.
Interplay of sounds creates mood and atmosphere
Change to an installation.
Try connecting to MSP and other devices to trigger the image and morph.
The closer you are to the image the more distorted it becomes.
Far away – beautiful
Change image for something more media beautiful?

Feet high above the Atlantic Ocean with the southern sun slowly BBQ’in my cheek, Horizon of clouds billowing over a deep blue.
The time is 1 PM.
We arrive at 1:30 PM.
We departed at 11:30 PM,
Six hours fifty-seven minutes
six hours fifty-seven minutes
six hours fifty-seven minutes
according to the speaking lights.
How have those four hours fifty-seven minutes evacuated?
Has time been compressed?
Os it waiting back on the return journey?
Will I ever get it back?
Am I older or younger?
The common, factual thought process involves the saving of daylight hours as you traverse the globe, keeping sync with the sunrise and set by this manmade self-destructive measurement.
But I still feel robbed. Read and Blue
As I cast my digital eye out across the blues, I wonder what our onlookers think.
Has time plummeted from the sky, now creating the populace of white rips in the ocean velvet.
Is time dropping all around us?
How much does it weigh?
Whilst I ponder, I wonder if fish & mammals wonder what planes are? this seepage
I leave the blue and open my book; a brief history of time [1],
In time, it will be many a page read, before I left the blue to open my book.
The findings will be noted.
Earlier than the bird
The time is now 12 PM
One hour before my last entry
I have been and still am in the future.
One half hour since I left Manchester and yet I am one hour from my destination, as assures the flight attendant;
“We’re one hour earlier than normal�?
She exclaims through a timeless smile
I laugh.
I had the feeling earlier that I was losing time,
It was being stolen,
Seeping from the plane.
In fact, I’ve gained time.
And I’m still not even.
I’m older yet younger
Time has been free for a while.
From reading Hawkins[1], in this free time that I have encountered. My thoughts have been re-affirmed.
Time is relative to each object in space.
Of course.
The ground/ physical space that the object inhabits has in itself it’s own time. Therefore time is no more possible than itself.
It has no existence outside itself, but unto itself it exists for what consumes it.

I speak of splace, which is a simple juxtaposition of space and place. Yet the boundaries of these two have resonated with me to become one.
Place - a particular portion of space, whether of definite or indefinite extent. (1)
Space is a measure of place.
Whilst, I carve the turquoise blue onto the squashed trees or reconditioned toilet paper have experienced the pace of space. Currently in Barcelona, which was not the journeys beginning, the beginning was on a turtle nested of Greece. A campsite bar, the place, the mediterrianian Ocean, the Ouzo, the wind, my mind the space. Upon reading Tony Parsons (2) radical, yet simple view of oneness, I encountered a or rather revisited both space and place.
The place – Burnley bus station. 1998
The Space – My seven year old mind wondering why a seventeen year old was sat floor looking face down against the toilet wall.
A decade passes.
I look up, sat against that very toilet wall, a primary school child returns my gaze with an expression of ´why´.
Now I know, I have lived in both space and place of two individuals, which are one. That’s all there is states Tony Parsons.
Was this a unique experience?
No it was not.
This was the beginning of one.
Empedocles
Siegfried Zielinski´s third chapter of Deep Time of the Media (3) introduces us to Empedocles´s concept of natures 2nd principle. (3.1)
“There is no beginning or end to all that is�?
He continues to write that all there is, is love (3.2)
“The ideal for form is the domain of love. When love is at the centre and commands all motion, the mixtures are distributed equally, the ´many´ come together into the ´one´. This is Sphairos, the state of stillness, peace and happiness�?
Is love a space to be or simply experience, or both.
Tony Parsons writes about the separation of the individual and that individuality is only a dream that we all seek, are in love with. Inherent by our nature we are society’s seedlings and individuality is the ground we need to grow, but is the ground only a dream? The promise of enlightenment, the dream of home.
He says:
“Here is oneness, the realisation of wholeness that cannot be attained or
owned. This is the awakening in which the awareness of what is arises
together with the dreaming of that which cannot be known. There can be a
dance between dreaming and being, and in that dance there can be a
return to the fascination of personal ownership�?
Seeds need only water. So what is the nourishment ?
However, the realisation that the dream seeker is also oneness is
liberation, the uncaused, impersonal, silent stillness which is the
celebration of unconditional love. This is all there is.
I´m still on a beach regarding the sea and all that dwell within. The place. Love, the space
Borrowing for the words from Ernst Mach (3.4) claims that our culture has acquired a new trend, a self independence, superseding antiquity by mathematical and scientific enlightenment.
The relationship of popular culture and the space of love is a perfect marriage. People buy into other peoples lives. Purchasing fragrances with their faces plastered. Haircuts and Speedos, society wouldn’t function without it, a dependence has been forged by fake idols.
Lucretius, in his poem on The Nature of Things uses the verse (3.3)
“Though she thou lovest now be far away, idol images of her are near�?
Image is replacing realism, a religion is forged from capitalist idols from the global market machine, using people to invest in the church of escapism. What makes it worse is that people know they’re doing it, and even enjoy it.
Religion is the opium of the people (4.1), states Tony Parsons in an interview. Because
somebody says: ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’, and then the people in the audience
also want to become that.(4.2)
Regardless of Christianity or fame academy the both possess attributes for idealism, social requirements and practice, and a status for belonging.

This origin for this project was initiated by the opportunity to use a gallery space to educate and inform both myself and Ben Halsall via a conversation between a Windows based PC and a Apple Macintosh.
For the conversation we used two pieces of software:
1. Windows based PC using VVVV
http://vvvv.org/tiki-index.php
2. Apple Macintosh using Max MSP and Jitter
http://www.cycling74.com/products/maxmsp
http://www.cycling74.com/products/jitter
Max/MSP is a graphical programming environment, which means you create your own software using a visual toolkit of objects, and connect them together with patch cords. (1) The above definition for MSP can also be used for VVVV.
Using the objects NETSEND in MSP and NETRECEIVE in VVVV via a CAT5 cross over cable (2).
Using these objects we were able to send a string of numbers via an input from one machine to an output on the other machine. In our case the input was two adjacent cameras and the output was a single projector.
The Installation
To explain what physically happened in the installation I will break down the processes in bullet form into two parts A and B, and also by Program.
Part A
Max MSP
1. Two adjacent video cameras pointed at a white wall.
2. The two images from each camera were placed side by side on a single screen.
3. The screen was sent out of MSP via a video signal.
VVVV
1. The video signal was received from MAX MSP and mapped onto each face of a 3D cross.
Part B
Max MSP
The two adjacent video cameras which pointed at a white wall recorded the amount of pixel movement on the image. This means that if there was nothing happening in front of the camera then there was no pixel movement, someone walking past the camera would create pixel movement.
This pixel movement was recorded in numbers (amount of pixels) this was sent to two places
i. Each of the camera images was split equally into a grid of six squares each time there was an input from the pixel movement each square would rotate up to 360 degrees clockwise on the final output image that was being sent to VVVV.
ii. Each camera sent pixel movement numbers to NETSEND (resulting in two sets of numbers being sent via NETSEND)
VVVV
1. NETRECEIVE picked up the two sets of numbers from NETSEND. The numbers were translated into movement of the 3D cross on two axis X and Z. Thus by creating pixel movement.
