Complete Disaster!

Trying to Make Progress – Today felt like a completely wasted day in terms of what I was trying to achieve.  I wanted to finish off yesterday’s post by adding an assembly video of my ‘Chladni Plate’.  Unfortunately my rather dumb ‘smartphone’ had other ideas and wouldn’t give me access to my footage.  In fact I still don’t have access to my footage because apparently my phone’s storage is full!  Indeed as I’m writing this the problem still exists.  I suspect a trip to the Apple Shop for some ‘tech’ support will shortly be the order of the day. However, I hate to waste time, so I took the opportunity to try out another ‘Touch Designer’ tutorial. Below is the result of today’s efforts.  I’m hoping that my phone will update overnight so that I can at least pull off the last few Chladni Plate videos that I shot today.  In the meantime, here’s a thirty second time-lapse of me working on a tutorial to create some animated, coloured wavy lines.  The time-lapse is 30 minutes condensed into 30 seconds. I am becoming increasingly interested in sound, so just like my Chladni plate videos, I have left in the original […]

Chladni Plate

The Chladni Plate –   Sound has always fascinated me. I remember being introduced to an oscillator at school.  I was completely mesmerised by the waves generated by sounds.  Later in life I discovered Chladni Plates. The Chladni Plate was named after its German inventor Ernst Chladni, who was an early pioneer of experimental acoustics.  He discovered  that by using a violin bow to vibrate metal plates covered in sand, a number of distinct patterns emerged.  The patterns would change with the pitch and the tone of the sound vibrations. The idea of sound creating hidden patterns is something that I want to explore. I am intrigued by anything hidden or unseen.  The Chladni plate patterns, in my opinion, falls nicely into this bracket.  The patterns of sound are hidden until they are revealed by the vibrating sand covered plates. In order to experiment with this phenomena, I decided to source an authentic Chladni plate kit with a bow.  Some Chladni plate kits come with electronic tone generators.  However I wanted to remain as authentic as possible and I was really excited to find someone who made these kits as close to the original as possible. Below is my Chladni Plate unboxing […]

Newcastle 2022

Northern Culture and the Laing Art Gallery – Newcastle is one of my favourite cities. I was born in County Durham only around 30 miles from the city. It was a real treat to go to Newcastle with friends. The nightlife as a teenager was fantastic! It is also true what they say about Northern women. They actually do come out and queue for a nightclub in the skimpiest of club wear in sub zero temperatures.  They really aren’t bothered by these freezing temperatures either.  As a Northern woman myself, I actually know about this phenomenon, having once been part of this weekend ritual myself. Apparently psychologists have tried to analyse this behaviour. However, the simple fact is that if you wear a coat you need to carry it with you throughout the night. It is either that or pay a cloakroom fee. This involves either parting with cash and/or facing long cloakroom queues.  Hence lots of women preferring to stand queuing outside in the cold with very little attire. It really is that simple. Yesterday was my birthday and as a treat I decided to stay for a couple of nights at the Gosforth Hotel a couple of miles […]

Human Coding and Ai Generated Imagery for Animation

A Steep Learning Curve – Since learning all about text to image Ai technology, I decided to explore it further.  Ai seems to be everywhere – if it were a living creature, I would liken it to one with tentacles – perhaps an octopus or a squid?  It might also be likened to a tree with branches sprawling everywhere and with increasing speed crawls further into our lives.  I suspect it will become ever more pervasive and how it is used, either for good or ill, will be down to us all.  Running with the idea that Ai has tentacles and or branches, I decided to try a text prompt to see what Ai made of the request.  I used ‘Tentacles, Branches, Network  and Fractals’ as my main prompt.  All of the images below were created from this text. I was pleased with the images above because I was looking for a good example image for a new visual programming tutorial I wanted to try.  The tutorial was about generating a growing image.  The tentacle-like images above seemed perfect for this, especially in relation to my thoughts about the tentacle nature of Ai. Below is the image that I chose […]
