'''Goethes Parking Lot (Goethes Parkhaus)'''

I´m mostly inspired by parking lots as sites that can be seen as non-places. I would like to focus on these non-places, their previous states and the story behind them. The structure and design of a parking lot appears to be timeless because the function has not changed in the last century and will probably not change in the forceable future.

The visual simplicity and interchangeability of a parking lot seems like a provocation in itself in a city like Weimar, where historical individuality and uniqueness of architectural space is highly valued. I will create a historical intervention and performance that is based on real events. The intention of my project is to reference a real house or space that has been overwritten by this non-place, more precisely a parking lot.

I want to define a space in which the visitor gets the impression of being in another event in time while still being in the present. In this audio installation you will be provoked to remember something which is not pleasant and to reflect on the present.

I am working with aspects of modernism, ownership of a “place” and the manifestations of a shrouded history that have been re-contextualized. I need to research to discover a particular happening that contrasts to the present time. I think there is an interesting comparison that can be made between the past and the present. You could say that the Nationalism movement had a vision of a utopian society that was free from impurities. The modern shopping mall is also a utopian vision of society, there is no dirt, no nature, its a “clean” place. As an artist I want to remain objective, by choosing these particular sites I want to create an experience for the visitor that enables them to be connected to the past and the present and to draw their own conclusions.

''' Hanging around ''Weimar Atrium'' '''

I spend some time making field studies in and around the ''Weimar Atrium''. Wondering through the parking lot I noticed some quotes at the walls. With regard to the history of the place most of the quotes have an absurd, almost ironic effect. Especially the selection of authors seems much dubious to me. Here are some of them:

* Graffiti auf der Berliner Mauer (1989): Die kamen, sahen und gingen ein bisschen einkaufen."
* Marcel Dutchman (1913): "Kunst liegt auf der Strasse, und sie steht in den Regalen der Kaufhäuser."
* Marilyn Monroe: "Einkaufen gehen macht Spaß, hab ich festgestellt. Das ist was ganz weibliches."
* Woody Ellen: "Natürlich gibt es eine jenseitige Welt. Die Frage ist nur: Wie weit ist sie von der Innenstadt entfernt und wie lang hat sie offen."

For this week I´m focusing on further research in fields of the phenomenon ''Mall'' and the actual consistency of this place (textures, design, smell, sound etc).

'''Designing flyer and poster for group exhibition "Adieu Marie"– 6 participants from PROVOCATIVE ARCHITECTURE'''

The opportunity came up to finally create an installation in context of this class. I'm going to attend the group exhibition "Adieu Marie". My plan is to create an installation that joins aspects of my former research and physical aspects of my "Parking Lot Studies" which are drawings, that relate to aesthetics of non-places and parking lots.

'''Parkinglot Studies collaged – first sketches'''

These sketches illustrate the idea of adding actual research photos behind the "Parking Lot Studies". A gap of circa 10 cm allows the beholder to also see what's behind the Drawing. I'm still testing different approaches and aesthetics. I can also imagine to work with a screen or a projection behind the studies, in order to show a bigger range of photos I can show. This idea meets the aspect of the combination between work in progress and accomplished pieces, which I find representative for the way I was working in this project so far.

The intention of my project is to reference a real house or space that has been overwritten by this non-place, more precisely a parking lot.

I want to define a space in which the visitor gets the impression of being in another event in time while still being in the present. In this audio installation you will be provoked to remember something which is not pleasant and to reflect on the present.

I am working with aspects of modernism, ownership of a “place” and the manifestations of a shrouded history that have been re-contextualized. I need to research to discover a particular happening that contrasts to the present time. I think there is an interesting comparison that can be made between the past and the present. You could say that the Nationalism movement had a vision of a utopian society that was free from impurities.

'''Parkinglot Studies collaged – first sketches'''

These sketches illustrate the idea of adding actual research photos behind the "Parking Lot Studies". A gap of circa 10 cm allows the beholder to also see what's behind the Drawing. I'm still testing different approaches and aesthetics. I can also imagine to work with a screen or a projection behind the studies, in order to show a bigger range of photos I can show. This idea meets the aspect of the combination between work in progress and accomplished pieces, which I find representative for the way I was working in this project so far.

'''Goethes Parking Lot (Goethes Parkhaus)'''

I´m mostly inspired by parking lots as sites that can be seen as non-places. I would like to focus on these non-places, their previous states and the story behind them. The structure and design of a parking lot appears to be timeless because the function has not changed in the last century and will probably not change in the forceable future.

The visual simplicity and interchangeability of a parking lot seems like a provocation in itself in a city like Weimar, where historical individuality and uniqueness of architectural space is highly valued. I will create a historical intervention and performance that is based on real events. The intention of my project is to reference a real house or space that has been overwritten by this non-place, more precisely a parking lot.

I want to define a space in which the visitor gets the impression of being in another event in time while still being in the present. In this audio installation you will be provoked to remember something which is not pleasant and to reflect on the present.

I am working with aspects of modernism, ownership of a “place” and the manifestations of a shrouded history that have been re-contextualized. I need to research to discover a particular happening that contrasts to the present time. I think there is an interesting comparison that can be made between the past and the present. You could say that the Nationalism movement had a vision of a utopian society that was free from impurities. The modern shopping mall is also a utopian vision of society, there is no dirt, no nature, its a “clean” place. As an artist I want to remain objective, by choosing these particular sites I want to create an experience for the visitor that enables them to be connected to the past and the present and to draw their own conclusions.

''' Hanging around ''Weimar Atrium'' '''

I spend some time making field studies in and around the ''Weimar Atrium''. Wondering through the parking lot I noticed some quotes at the walls. With regard to the history of the place most of the quotes have an absurd, almost ironic effect. Especially the selection of authors seems much dubious to me. Here are some of them:

* Graffiti auf der Berliner Mauer (1989): Die kamen, sahen und gingen ein bisschen einkaufen."
* Marcel Dutchman (1913): "Kunst liegt auf der Strasse, und sie steht in den Regalen der Kaufhäuser."
* Marilyn Monroe: "Einkaufen gehen macht Spaß, hab ich festgestellt. Das ist was ganz weibliches."
* Woody Ellen: "Natürlich gibt es eine jenseitige Welt. Die Frage ist nur: Wie weit ist sie von der Innenstadt entfernt und wie lang hat sie offen."

For this week I´m focusing on further research in fields of the phenomenon ''Mall'' and the actual consistency of this place (textures, design, smell, sound etc).

I want to define a space in which the visitor gets the impression of being in another event in time while still being in the present. In this audio installation you will be provoked to remember something which is not pleasant and to reflect on the present.

I am working with aspects of modernism, ownership of a “place” and the manifestations of a shrouded history that have been re-contextualized. I need to research to discover a particular happening that contrasts to the present time. I think there is an interesting comparison that can be made between the past and the present. You could say that the Nationalism movement had a vision of a utopian society that was free from impurities. The modern shopping mall is also a utopian vision of society, there is no dirt, no nature, its a “clean” place. As an artist I want to remain objective, by choosing these particular sites I want to create an experience for the visitor that enables them to be connected to the past and the present and to draw their own conclusions.

''' Hanging around ''Weimar Atrium'' '''

I spend some time making field studies in and around the ''Weimar Atrium''. Wondering through the parking lot I noticed some quotes at the walls. With regard to the history of the place most of the quotes have an absurd, almost ironic effect. Especially the selection of authors seems much dubious to me. Here are some of them:

* Graffiti auf der Berliner Mauer (1989): Die kamen, sahen und gingen ein bisschen einkaufen."
* Marcel Dutchman (1913): "Kunst liegt auf der Strasse, und sie steht in den Regalen der Kaufhäuser."
* Marilyn Monroe: "Einkaufen gehen macht Spaß, hab ich festgestellt. Das ist was ganz weibliches."
* Woody Ellen: "Natürlich gibt es eine jenseitige Welt. Die Frage ist nur: Wie weit ist sie von der Innenstadt entfernt und wie lang hat sie offen."

For this week I´m focusing on further research in fields of the phenomenon ''Mall'' and the actual consistency of this place (textures, design, smell, sound etc).

'''Designing flyer and poster for group exhibition "Adieu Marie"– 6 participants from PROVOCATIVE ARCHITECTURE'''

The opportunity came up to finally create an installation in context of this class. I'm going to attend the group exhibition "Adieu Marie". My plan is to create an installation that joins aspects of my former research and physical aspects of my "Parking Lot Studies" which are drawings, that relate to aesthetics of non-places and parking lots.

These sketches illustrate the idea of adding actual research photos behind the "Parking Lot Studies". A gap of circa 10 cm allows the beholder to also see what's behind the Drawing. I'm still testing different approaches and aesthetics. I can also imagine to work with a screen or a projection behind the studies, in order to show a bigger range of photos I can show. This idea meets the aspect of the combination between work in progress and accomplished pieces, which I find representative for the way I was working in this project so far.

'''Goethes Parking Lot (Goethes Parkhaus)'''

I´m mostly inspired by parking lots as sites that can be seen as non-places. I would like to focus on these non-places, their previous states and the story behind them. The structure and design of a parking lot appears to be timeless because the function has not changed in the last century and will probably not change in the forceable future.

The visual simplicity and interchangeability of a parking lot seems like a provocation in itself in a city like Weimar, where historical individuality and uniqueness of architectural space is highly valued. I will create a historical intervention and performance that is based on real events. The intention of my project is to reference a real house or space that has been overwritten by this non-place, more precisely a parking lot.

I want to define a space in which the visitor gets the impression of being in another event in time while still being in the present. In this audio installation you will be provoked to remember something which is not pleasant and to reflect on the present.

Amel: /* Hacking web cam */

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron. Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

[[File:CamerHack_01.jpg|250px]]
[[File:CamerHack_02.jpg|250px]]
[[File:CamerHack_03.jpg|250px]]

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way. I want to be able to twist it in order to use both, bright field and dark field microscopy technics. Technically, it should be possible to easily change the lights or take off the camera, because there will be no cover material in front of the camera.

[[File:StageConstructionAmeWikil.jpg|250px]]

== 3D Model ==

In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

[[File:3dStageconstuction 1 amel 2.jpg| 250px]]
[[File:3dStageconstuction 1 amel.jpg| 250px]]

[[Media:3D Construction 2 amel.zip]]

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

[[File:Mocro Stageconstruction amel.jpg|250px]]

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

[[File:LazercutComponents-01.jpg|250px]]

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

[[File:IdeaScatchAmelundNils.jpg|250px]]

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

[[File:Stillidea_Amel.jpg|250px]]

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

<videoflash type="vimeo">57355494|500|340</videoflash>

== Collecting New Footage ==

In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

[[File:Working_Set_up.jpg|250px]]
[[File:NewFootage.jpg|250px]]

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

== First Microscopy Experiment ==

Most of the samples I used were very close by. Only for the leave and some soil I went to our garden. I dug a big hole to find living organisms. I probably found some but the microscope is not zooming enough. Next week I will try to find some organism that I can capture with this cam.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

[[File:IdeaScatchAmelundNils.jpg|250px]]

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

[[File:Stillidea_Amel.jpg|250px]]

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

<videoflash type="vimeo">57355494|500|340</videoflash>

== Collecting New Footage ==

In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

[[File:NewFootage.jpg|250px]]

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

==DOCUMENTATION ==

Follow the link to the DIY Microscopy Guide. Brian, Nils and me decided to create this poster that gives a quick overview of the project. It combines all important steps and helps you to avoid difficulties in case of future DIY project.

Amel: /* Final Work */

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron.Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

[[File:CamerHack_01.jpg|250px]]

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way. I want to be able to twist it in order to use both, bright field and dark field microscopy technics. Technically, it should be possible to easily change the lights or take off the camera, because there will be no cover material in front of the camera.

[[File:StageConstructionAmeWikil.jpg|250px]]

== 3D Model ==

In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

[[File:3dStageconstuction 1 amel 2.jpg| 250px]]
[[File:3dStageconstuction 1 amel.jpg| 250px]]

[[Media:3D Construction 2 amel.zip]]

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

[[File:Mocro Stageconstruction amel.jpg|250px]]

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

[[File:LazercutComponents-01.jpg|250px]]

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.

Amel: /* Final Work */

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron.Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way. I want to be able to twist it in order to use both, bright field and dark field microscopy technics. Technically, it should be possible to easily change the lights or take off the camera, because there will be no cover material in front of the camera.

== 3D Model ==

In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

[[File:Mocro Stageconstruction amel.jpg|250px]]

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

[[File:LazercutComponents-01.jpg|250px]]

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.

== First Microscopy Experiment ==

Most of the samples I used were very close by. Only for the leave and some soil I went to our garden. I dug a big hole to find living organisms. I probably found some but the microscope is not zooming enough. Next week I will try to find some organism that I can capture with this cam.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

[[File:IdeaScatchAmelundNils.jpg|250px]]

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

[[File:Stillidea_Amel.jpg|250px]]

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

<videoflash type="vimeo">57355494|500|340</videoflash>

== Collecting New Footage ==

In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

[[File:Working_Set_up.jpg|250px]]
[[File:NewFootage.jpg|250px]]

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

[[File:IdeaScatchAmelundNils.jpg|250px]]

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

[[File:Stillidea_Amel.jpg|250px]]

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

<videoflash type="vimeo">57355494|500|340</videoflash>

== Collecting New Footage ==

In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron.Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way. I want to be able to twist it in order to use both, bright field and dark field microscopy technics. Technically, it should be possible to easily change the lights or take off the camera, because there will be no cover material in front of the camera.

[[File:StageConstructionAmeWikil.jpg|250px]]

== 3D Model ==

In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

[[File:Mocro Stageconstruction amel.jpg|250px]]

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

[[File:LazercutComponents-01.jpg|250px]]

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.

Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

[[File:Mocro Stageconstruction amel.jpg|250px]]

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.

Most of the samples I used were very close by. Only for the leave and some soil I went to our garden. I dug a big hole to find living organisms. I probably found some but the microscope is not zooming enough. Next week I will try to find some organism that I can capture with this cam.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

[[File:IdeaScatchAmelundNils.jpg|250px]]

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

[[File:Stillidea_Amel.jpg|250px]]

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

<videoflash type="vimeo">57355494|500|340</videoflash>

== Collecting New Footage ==
In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron.Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way.

Most of the samples I used were very close by. Only for the leave and some soil I went to our garden. I dug a big hole to find living organisms. I probably found some but the microscope is not zooming enough. Next week I will try to find some organism that I can capture with this cam.

== Idea Scatch from Amel and Nils ==

Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

== Working with video stills ==

This experiment was a different version of the idea to create high resolution pictures by using many small pictures/videos. I want to return to this idea later, for now we are working on more video footage from specimens as well as more animation elements for another animation idea.

== Animation Idea with vector graphics ==

Inspired by another class named: "Provokative Architecture" with this video we want to create a imaginary world, that combines urban architecture with imaginary elements. The most interesting thing is the different time lines in one video.

== Collecting New Footage ==
In order to have more verity of video footage we went to the florist next door and asked for old water and rotten flowers. We hoped to get some organisms, since we have winter and there is nothing to be found in the garden or forest.

== Final Work ==

<videoflash type="vimeo">58303903|500|340</videoflash>

The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.

Amel: /* Collecting New Footage */

== Hacking web cam ==

In the lab we dissassembled a webcam in order to turn the lens.

The lens must be removed, flipped 180° and glued back in place with a hot glue gun. You need to be very precise to keep your lens clean and dust free otherwise you will encounter imperfect imaging later on. 
We also removed the LEDs with a soldering iron.Mainly, because we will be using different light coming from the microscope construction, we will be building later.

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==

With this microscope construction I hope to build a tool that allows me to focus on my analysis without unnecessary material in the way. I want to be able to twist it in order to use both, bright field and dark field microscopy technics. Technically, it should be possible to easily change the lights or take off the camera, because there will be no cover material in front of the camera.

== 3D Model ==

In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.

== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==

Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.

== Lazer Cut Components ==

The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

== FSH Assembly ==

That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.
