I’ve not been posting since I finished university and started working at Silverstream TV, but I do plan to continue working on Digital Art and Technology style projects and posting about them here.
Now that I don’t have deadlines to work to I’ve ordered new parts for Canute and will rebuild it again to be faster, more accurate and much more robust.
Canute on display at the degree show in the Roland Levinsky building at the University of Plymouth.
Information about other projects featured at the degree show can be found at http://datdegreeshow.co.uk/.
The web interface for controlling Canute. You can manually set the levels for each tube or let it visualise the tides. The website runs on my PHP framework.
Canute is a machine for visualising the tide. It uses a set of pumps, valves and sensors to raise and lower the water levels in its three tubes. The tube on the left is one hour ago, on the right is one hour from now.
Canute can be described as an actualisation as it uses the same physical material it is representing as a medium. The project is part of collection of experiments in the recreation and translation of patterns of physical material in remote locations.
An early diagram of the wiring for the project. The ULN2003As were later replaced with relays which can safely handle more current.
Exterior designs for the unit.
A plan with dimensions for the acrylic pieces to be cut.
Testing sending events and matching seeds.
Testing audio visualisation and cross window support.
