CCTV Live from the Box

Apr

24

2013

Experimenting with having the box of stuff right next to the TV that has the live stream of its contents. This was born out of necessity since I needed both Raspberry Pis to be on the same LAN, but I kind of like that it makes the project even more obsessive. Debating whether to have ...

Interior Support for Bottomless Pit

Apr

15

2013

My plan for the Bottomless Pit piece was to have the screen/box combo sit on top of another cardboard box. Problem is, the weight of the screen would likely cause the box beneath it to cave in. I decided to buy a table to act as the interior support. I’ll cover the table with the ...

Bottomless Pit – Attempts 4, 5, 6

Mar

2013

I tried placing the screen inside of a box and then building a second, tapered box that would fit inside and cover the rim. That failed miserably. I tried sticking individual cardboard tabs onto the screen, but couldn’t get them to fit seamlessly together. After a few more attempts with the tapered box idea, I ...

Destroy-It-Yourself: The Do’s and Don’ts of LCD Screen Extraction

Mar

2013

Here are some resources on how to take apart a computer monitor and extract the LCD screen. I have attempted this with a 2006 15″ Macbook Pro, an Acer 17″ V173 external monitor, and a 17″ Dell E173FP external monitor. Each time I learned a little something about this process (mostly through epic failure); the purpose of ...

Should people be allowed to touch the bears? Everyone wants/tries to… Melanie: Bear piece feels a little hollow CCTV piece needs more of a narrative or pattern, as does the box piece Box: maybe it starts out innocuous and then progressively shows more curious, weird objects?

Bottomless Pit – 3rd Attempt

This time I cut the sides of the box down so that it could lay flat. This way, I could photograph things on the bottom of the box without getting the sides in the viewfinder. I then cut a hole out of the bottom of the box to match the size of my iPad screen. I ...

2013

Feedback from guest critic Kyle Li, as well as Louisa Campbell and my other classmates: Where are the bears sitting? In a clean gallery space, or in my room? Could the bears be having some type of online chat between them? Where is the viewer situated? Are they a participant? Should the cameras inside of ...
