January 8th:
We hooked up condenser microphone elements by using both of our headsets. We got it to work!!!!! but in further testing last night one microphone doesn't work as well as the other and will need to be inspected more. We had a lot of problems trying to get the soldering gun to work but for the first run I think its pretty good. I'm going to make another set this week so we can both have one to work with.
I showed Ann a grant that we could have a good chance at getting but it is based on internet work or using the internet in some way that is important for the work to progress. I came across this link yesterday that I think brings up some good ideas though I think Matt Locke's presentation might be more relevant but I think it is a way to connect not only with the queries of reality and ones physical experience along with Anns queries on data mapping. Here's the link
Some of the ideas that I picked up from the show are:
Making difference, an impact, or change in the community or is someones lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be big but just have a personal impact to people.
Story telling.
Using google maps
How could you use the web to make people closer to their reality? To have people look at their surroundings a little closer?
Users being enmeshed with what happens and the documentation of what occurs.
How do you do an interactive story that allows people to use it how they want?
Playing hide and seek on the web. Instead of making a website maybe we could just create ads to put on websites that people can engage with?
What are our constraints?
How do you write outside time?
How do you move beyond your comfort zones?
Creating a character and letting people take it and create a world about and around that character.
Creating stories for different forms of attention or different understandings of time. What is the time span for what we will be working with?

problem with modified Newtonian dynamics
Wait- this could be relevant! How would you visualize the following?
(or why)
(or why)
Gravity conundrum
- 20 May 2006 by Robert Barclay, Glasgow, UK
- Magazine issue 2552.
It strikes me that modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) still has two problems, despite being reformulated to be compatible with general relativity (29 April, p 52). First, there is still no clear physical basis for the theory; and second, unless the reformulation has changed some of MOND's predictions, it fails to cope with very large-scale situations - such as the behaviour of large galaxy cluster cores.
Dark matter has problems too. No one knows what it is made of, and no one has ever found any. What's more, as MOND has highlighted, there is a consistent pattern to its distribution within galaxies that hasn't been explained.
A resolution to all these problems would come from a source of mass (or equivalent energy) that is potentially present everywhere, is not normally detectable and could be brought into being due to the mass of baryonic matter in galaxies. It seems to me that the obvious candidate is vacuum energy, in the form of virtual particles, that pervades space.
From Tim Hely
The addition of two extra fields in the TeVeS model of modified Newtonian dynamics reminds me of the addition of epicycles in the flawed geocentric theory of the solar system. I predict with some confidence that the model will fit the data even better if we keep adding on extra fields. Why stop at only three? Why not choose four, five - or even 11 to match the number of dimensions in M-Theory? Unfortunately, I believe that our understanding of the astronomical processes involved will vary inversely with the number of fields required.
Edinburgh, UK
note from ann: how many dimensions are we prepared to work with?
1 point in space
2 line
3 z-space (a cube)
4 time
5 sound ( I may have made this one up)
The start of 2010
Jan 3 started with
-an inspection of inexpensive binaural techniques
-an investigation of El- wire
-a frigid video walk of the highline
-a taste of licorice spoiled by a bubblegum center
-some trying on
-the finalization of a name
-inspection of Dave Cahill's 1992/1993 artwork
-realization that anns video camera might be f'd
-some tying on
-freezy navigation: 18th street F station not connected to PATH tube
