Walking Octahedron Sculpture (video)

Walking octahedron from William Bondin on Vimeo.
Updated simulation for a walking octahedron. Update based on observations from physical prototype.

A Mind-Boggling Sculpture That Crawls With a Mind of Its Own | Wired Design | Wired.com: ". . . .The idea is that by the end of 2015, these interactive structures will be a part of certain public landscapes like parks. Bondin’s current prototype is an aggregation of tetrahedral trusses and telescopic edges that can extend to twice their normal length, which helps the structures to shift their center of gravity and actually move. “When at rest, the tetrahedron nucleus can make a step in either of three directions, depending on which axis is closest to its target location,” he says. Right now, Bondin is testing a small-scale Morph, but next year, he’ll be working to build bigger assemblages, so they resemble what you see in the renderings above. At full-scale, it’s hard not to draw comparisons to Ron Herron’s “Walking City” or Theo Jansens’ bizarro walking Strandbeest. . . ."

James Turrell at the Guggenheim

2013-07-11T00:34:00.001-04:00

James Turrell: "June 21–September 25, 2013 - James Turrell’s first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980 focuses on the artist’s groundbreaking explorations of perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site specificity in his practice. At its core is Aten Reign (2013), a major new project that recasts the Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived . . . ."

Reading Series: Tom Wolfe - Back to Blood

2013-01-13T08:00:00.000-05:00

Reading Series: Tom Wolfe - Back to Blood - Set in modern-day Miami, Tom Wolfe’s new novel, Back to Blood, examines race, sex, art and immigration. He is “one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed post-modern era,” wrote Time magazine. “With books like The Right Stuff and The Bonfire of the Vanities, he has built a towering reputation both as a journalist and as a novelist, and he does things with words—exhilarating, intoxicating, impossible things—that no other writer can do.” (Nov 5, 2012)

L'Invitation Au Voyage - Louis Vuitton

2012-12-16T20:09:00.001-05:00

L'Invitation Au Voyage - Louis Vuitton - Paris and its mysteries... For centuries, the most wonderful intrigues have been woven in the Louvre, a haven of culture and history. An intrepid young woman enters this universal temple and unwinds the skein of time. After an encounter with the Mona Lisa and the Italian masters, armed with a key, she releases the secrets -- also desired by a man hot on her heels -- enclosed for more than 150 years in a legendary trunk created by Louis Vuitton. Like a thread stretching across time and space, a hot-air balloon rises above the Cour Carrée. The beautiful unknown woman leaves the Louvre for a far-off destination in pursuit of her destiny.

Directed by Inez and Vinoodh.

Cityscape Chicago

2012-11-07T18:00:00.000-05:00

Cityscape Chicago from Eric Hines on Vimeo.

Cityscape Chicago is a personal timelapse piece consisting of over 30,000 still photographs shot on the Canon 5D Mark III incrementally between July and October 2012 around downtown Chicago, Illinois.

The inspiration of this piece was my fascination with the city of Chicago, particularly at night. For me, there has always been a mysterious sort of feeling to Chicago at night, so I decided to explore and capture it.

Prints from "Cityscape Chicago" will be available for a limited time on my RedBubble page.
