I think that I’m going to start putting up a bunch of the clips that I decide are NOT going into The Machine documentary. There are just too many clips that I like that I have had to pull out, and I still need to cut at least 35 or so minutes.
Here’s one of them:
I shot a bunch of pictures of one of the cooler cars out there, one which I think holds a lot of historic significance, a GM EV1 (though they would rather none exist in any capacity). They let a few universities get a hold of some to use as test platforms and will only let them run in hybrid orientations, apparently.
This car is mostly functional, and will get some sort of small motorcycle engine tucked in that will kick in on the highway to be able to cruise indefinitely (well, with enough gas that is).
You can see that quite a crowd came out in freezing weather to see this car. I felt like we were having to clandestinely come see the car in an alley.
Click any of the images above or this link to see all of my EV1 photos on flickr.
I don’t know which university this is below, but it feels a bit crazy to be hacking apart 1 of about 40 vehicles in existence. The youtube post says that they have theirs running as a turbojet/electric hybrid.
I’m working on The Machine documentary pretty heavily lately and so am always looking for something to help me to not go crazy. I must have clicked on some monome link recently that made me remember that I had a monome kit waiting in my closet.
I soldered it together last night and am trying to figure out how exactly to create the grid of buttons. I have a bunch of lit buttons from an old audio mixing console and I’m trying to figure out if I should replace the lamps in them (not LEDs) or try to go with what I’ve got. They look good as is, they just might burn out after a short while.
I took photos as I was going to see what kind of stop motion animation that would make. So that’s what you’re looking at.

Nov 9 from 7–10 pm
The A/V room is an audiovisual event featuring both prepared short films and live audio and video performance by emerging artists. The film line-up include entries from Vancouver, Seattle, Istanbul and Capetown. The evening’s live performance includes Japanese bamboo flute, spoken word, and experimental electronic music, all presented with visual accompaniment in the fabulous theater at Youngstown.
$5 sliding scale at the door to recoup costs and fund more of these events in the future. We are planning on creating DVDs of the events to be produced and sold. This is an all-ages event.

Youngstown is located conveniently close to downtown. Once on the West Seattle Bridge take the first exit after the peak to Delridge Way SW and stay in the left lane. After two lights, you will find Youngstown (the old Cooper School) on your left.
