Spacetime Worms

frozen in spacetime

A visual interpretation of perdurantism. Each worm represents a living being, with their 4 dimensions of space-time and ∞ dimensions of mental experience projected into the shapes and colors of the blobs. Look closely, and you'll find birth and death, love and hate, growth and decay, joy and despair, trauma and recovery. What would your life look like?

2012-06

A wearable device for the finger that senses magnetic fields with a KMZ10C and allows you to feel them through haptic feedback in the form of vibration.

It's powered by a 9V battery and therefore impractical, but still lots of fun to build. It uses no PCB; the rigid wires wrap around the finger and hold everything together.

Warped Smoke

2010-11-09

A dimensionally warped photograph of the smoke of a blewn out candle, illuminated with a red laser.

The y-axis does not correspond to any spatial dimension, but rather the time dimension, showing how the smoke evolves over time, like a keogram. Basically I recorded a video, cut out the 250x1 px images along the path of the laser, and stacked them on top of each other. :)
