Kickstart 117
As always when things are going good - I don't feel the need to blog.
I am going to try and make more posts this semester. The Venice biennial was genius and very inspiring, I just got home from the school trip yesterday. I need to write my thesis this semester, maybe I will post it here. The blog has been extremely helpful for me earlier to get an objective look on the works I make, I have an intention of posting works in-process again.

Life at Ocean Avenue #1
The main purpose of this post is an attempt to arrange my schedule, which is going to be very tight next week.
At the moment I am TIG-welding on a metal sculpture. It is difficult but very addictive and I have kinda lost track of time and spent way too much energy at this one sculpture / object.
It is a go at a propeller wing and there is a direct link from when I was a kid and built AIRFIX plastic scale models to this. Also it is not bringing anything new to the table in the terms that it is yet another sculpture made in my comfort zone. It has helped my welding skills and also there's a certain language in the construction that I would like to develop further. It is beautiful as fuck though. Photo will be up at my website soon.
Update: I finished the sculpture now. It is called 'precious object' and I basically spent my spring break making it.
End of next week is the 2nd critique, and I want to make an installation about Peter Freuchen and an incident that happened at the 5th Thule Expedition in the 1920's. He was in charge of the most northernly trading station in the world. At one dog sleigh fare he got caught in a snow blizzard and dug himself a cave to wait out the storm in. Unfortunately Peter Freuchen was caught by the masses of snow that had driftet on top. And so , now, he shaped a chisel out of his own faeces. He waited for it to freeze and then used it to dig a tunnel out of the cave. As a result his one foot had gotten frostbites and had to get amputated. Instead he got a wooden leg, as in, a peg leg!
I am not really preoccupied with the historic facts , I am interested in how to tell the story using objects and imagery.
Photos of Peter Freuchen (I just realize that I've already written the tale about him before)
Since last time I made a post I've seen a lot a lot of art.
We went to Spring Break Art Show and Volta which are both big art fairs that has to do with the Armory Show - (which I did not go to).
We also visited Dia:Beacon a museum sporting an incredible collection. I liked the work of Serra, Chamberlain, Robert Smithson and some of Louise Bourgeois sculptures. I don't care at all about Beuys. Fuck that overrated felt shit.
Yesterday was the opening of Jacob Dahlstrup's show 'Cosmogonia' which I loved unconditionally.
3 weeks have passed since the apocalyptic disaster of my laptop breaking.
I still haven't recovered my files from the bust hard drive, but it is just a matter of paying for it. I've come to the conclusion that 25 photo albums are more important than any moneay.
Monday I am going to paint the 4 by 4 feet pedestal that I built today. I am going to buy a tarp and some grommits, a knife, fork and plate, white candles and some 2nd hand action figures. I am going to check out a Nikon d600 or 700 from the school. I am going to have dinner with our room mates.
Jøssses, Tuesday is going to be more intense!

Ideas for physical computing mid-term project
Dear teachers home in Amsterdam: I am taking a course here at Pratt where we learn how to make a microcontroller control stuff. This post is for that class:
I would like to work with sound for the mid-term assignment.
Several different speakers are connected to the same source of sound and through a clever arduino based switch you can control which speakers are to play. A logarithmic potentiometer is controlling the output volume.
The speakers I would like to be wall based 'paintings' in some direction towards this:
I found a description of something very similar on the amazing internet (it has drawings of the wiring):
http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1372
The knobs I would like to be as tactile as possible, and preferably placed on the wall in the middle of the different design homemade speakers. Everything is to be as bare and stripped down as possible.
The sound source I don't really know yet. Maybe a noise-making circuit that have a potentiometer placed next to the button that changes speakers so you have three controls. I don't know how difficult it is to put together a noise maker.
----------------------------------
Alternatively I would love to build an open leslie speaker (as in: no cabinet), with a small stringed instrument lying next to it. The instrument would consist of 1 string with a single-coil pickup.
I just don't see how I could make the micro controller a part of it. How about if a hidden light sensor controlled the gain of a distortion pedal? That would be silly silly.
A 12 volt power supply connected to a window viper engine from a car would be the rotation.
I would weld together the 'horn' that is to spin.
An old guitar amp lying down would be the speaker (5W or 10W)
A wooden slab would stand in as the guitar or whatever. A tuner head drilled onto it in one end and a nail in the other end. A heavy gauge guitar string across. in the middle a pickup.
---------------------------------
I could also be up for co-operating with another student. I don't really feel stoked about any of the ideas, most of all because sculpture class is taking up 90 percent of my time, and these two projects are doable, but would take a lot of time. The lack of conceptual ground is also an issue. It proved a lot more difficult than I expected to incorporate the Arduino board into sculptural work. Endless possibilities (in theory mind you).
--------------------------------
Here is the work that I liked and presented about in class:

Aaaaaand here is my own drawing machine:

A self-portrait
Drawing class is interesting it just does not relate to the rest of what I am doing here.
Here is a self-portrait that I am going to continue drawing on next class.
I updated my homepage with some new works and also changed the layout, I believe for the better.

I've spent all afternoon trying to photograph the installation properly. I am not really satisfied, but I am going to call it a day now. I borrowed a DSLR from the school and some lights, but the photos uploaded are actually from my own OLYMPUS PEN camera. So that's that.
