broken bit

this part on my moped is broken... does anyone know what's its called and how to fix it? Its a tiny bit of metal that sits in a groove and stops the flywheel from spinning around. Its essential to be able to start the bike. The little semi circle is broken in bits. I don't know what the original piece looked like.

I hope if I can if it then the bike will come to life again!

This part is obviously broken. The bike might have other problems too, but I'll start with this one and then go step by step. It was running well till suddenly something busted and the flywheel spun off, so this is a good place to start, I hope!

HELP! Please!

photo: Permutations 2: Berdan Forest, 3.2 by Fred Camper

By combining multiple photos taken from different perspectives, I have been trying to convey an ever-expanding sense of wonder at objects and places and spaces, driven by the self-invented myth that placing images in true and proper orders will help to heal this broken world. In more recent work, I have surrendered some control over imagery and ordering, in the hope of opening my work to the mix of order and chaos that fills the wider universe.

storm room : cardiff/miller

Recent installation by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller.
Really incredible, they created a storm "outside" of an abandoned dentists office.

See a video of the installation here: link

"A 2.5 minute excerpt from 10 minute art installation by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. A computer controls the flow of water, the lights, the strobes, and the fans, etc. An ambisonic sound track plays through 8 hidden speakers and 2 hidden subwoofers. The piece begins as the storm approaches, with no water hitting the windows, then proceeds to the incredibly loud, floor shaking climax (sorry you can't hear this on Youtube). As the storm dissipates the sound of someone moving and coughing in the next room is heard and then the piece starts again. This work was created in a deserted dentist's office in a traditional Japanese house near the city of Tokamachi, Japan as part the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial 2009. "

whipping rope

(This is my rope. It's is a lot bigger than the one in this demo video.)

I'm got a large rope today and the ends were fraying quickly, so I turned to these sailor's tricks and ended up with really secure ends. Let's see how they hold up to the pulling.



maybe I'll try this sometime.



I noticed immediately that it feels really good to do some physical work, even just moving my fingers. The texture of the rope and the small twine felt rough and nice and holding up the tension while whipping the ends really helped my concentration.

basically, I want to be able to film like this, down the rope, so I'm looking at different possible camera mounts I can make.

I'm getting a new passport soon and before releasing this one I decided to have some fun with the huge scanner in the library.
