Sound is Ever Changing

June 13, 2015

Why is watching a fire or looking at the ocean so mesmerizing? Our brains have a tendency to chunk things. We see a car, think “car,” and move on. But flames and waves are always in flux and our minds can’t “thing” it. 

We can chunk a painting or a sculpture because we can see where it starts and ends, but sound is only experienced in the now.

I needed a way to plan my time in weeks or months, and the whole year calendars out there are too much. So I designed this minimal beauty.
Friends wanted one, so I put it on Kickstarter. If you get one now it’ll come before Christmas!

How did NASA get these gigantic screens in the 1960s!?!? Swipe for diagram.
It was the Eidophor (Greek:perception+carrier) that was invented in the late 30s (can you believe that?) and was able to receive television signals and then use a scanning electron beam (like in old TVs) to deform a plate of mineral oil (!!)
Light would pass through places where the oil deformed, creating the image. And between each frame a wiper blade would smooth out the oil.
So really, there’s a big space behind these screens housing a Chevy Impala sized contraption that was able to receive tv signals from the moon and draw them on an oil plate that then got rear projected. W.t.f.
