Instrument Seven (Nat Chard)
A picture of Instrument Seven with a drawing, after receiving paint thrown by another instrument. The paper follows the folds of the picture plane support (behind) which has tabs to match those on the paper and they are held together with bulldog clips. You can see how little of the main throw of paint lands on the drawing (unlike Instrument Five) and instead it catches just the splatter of paint that collides with the drawing pieces.

Another of the new pictures – this time Instrument Five in stereo.
Usual process for resolving the stereo image.

I have been reshooting Instrument Six – the earlier photographs were too saturated. Here are some tests. The surface on the folding picture plane is a material that retains polarisation, made by Da-Lite Screens. The instrument is seen here in real time mode – to see a shadow floating off the surface on which it should, by rights, land.

Partly because of Oscar Niemeyer’s sad death but also because we were talking about this project the other day here are some stereo pictures of the Communist Party Headquarters in Paris. The stereoscopy captures some of the subtle topographies in and outside the building. I will post a few more when I have a minute. Usual process for viewing the 3d images. The curtain wall is by Prouvé.

Looking through some photographs I found some of the stereoscopic shots I had made of the instruments. Here are a few of Instrument Three.

To view the images in three dimensions, go cross-eyed until you can register one image over the other. You may need to reduce the size of the images a little and perhaps tilt your head a little to keep the horizons together. When you have the image, try to relax to get the full stereoscopic depth.
Instrument Five
A couple of extra pictures of Instrument Five in action, with a very laid back picture plane to draw out the throw of paint. Notice the meniscus of paint on the top right drawing piece (above) that is still there for the subsequent white paint throw (below).

Astronaut’s Memorial
Some more from Cape Canaveral – this time the astronaut’s memorial. Designed by Wes Jones , it used to track the sun with reflectors shining the light through the names carved in the granite slab. The mechanism has not been working for a while, so floodlights are on permanently to illuminate the names.

As usual, to resolve the stereoscopic images go cross eyed until one image registers with the other. Then try to relax so that the full depth emerges. IF you are having problems, make the image smaller.
