Blogged in collaborations, eyebeam, build this Monday June 25, 2007, 2:04 pm, Permalink,

Finished dressing-up Room 15C at the Carlton Arms Hotel a few weeks ago. A few pictures and details on the different parts of the room.

* The music gears
Built large wooden gear to turn a small music box playing a loop of original music by Patrick Watson.

* Chinatown meets Todd Bjoonte hack with a twist
This laser cut paper lamp is built on top of a 10$ disco ball from chinatown and twirls when you turn it on.


* My first 2 layer laser cut stencil

* Color changing window stencils

Painted the windows with UV sensitive ink. The graphics appear translucent white at night and turn bright blue when a ray of sunlight hits them in the morning.

All the graphic work except for the flower stencil reproduced from the fabric are orginal visuals –They can be downloaded in Illustrator format and used under a CC licence. Details & instructions to come on electroniccrafts.org (i’m on it).


Readymech: looking for open design 2

Blogged in creative act, open design, eyebeam Friday February 2, 2007, 8:37 pm, Permalink,

I’ve been having lots of trouble finding designers, artists, creators who use make source files or instructions available for their creations. Or that use the internet for distributing their physical objects (download, print and make or select, personalize and get your local guy to build it… but surely there are other possible models out there).

If anyone knows of anything like that, please send them my way.

But i did come accross Jules, a little Readymech character designed by graphic design group Fwis. These characters are available for download and fit into an 8×11 page. I printed, folded, glued and had my Readymech ready.
