wishing everyone, awesomeness.
Ryoji Ikeda - The Transfinite (2011)
“A huge, immersive, electronic light-and-sound installation consisting of an immense wall — 54 feet wide by 40 feet tall — which serves as a screen for streaming video projections.
On one side, horizontal black, gray and white stripes and bands divided into left and right sections scroll downward, flickering furiously to the sound of aggressively percussive, buzzing and whistling electronic music emitted by powerful speakers.
he bar-code-like patterns extend across the white floor in front of the wall, where visitors who have doffed their shoes may loll, dance or meditate. It’s like a walk-in, animated Op Art painting.
On the other side, the floor is covered by soft black fabric and the wall is flooded by finely articulated, incomprehensibly complicated numerical and graphic data.
What is it to be human in such a universe? What values other than statistical ones sustain us?”

It invites the curious visitor with an entrance that continues to a corridor narrow enough for a single person, creating an awareness of the building’s palette.

Today I finished cutting the tenons for the shelf and assembled the table again. Happy with the proportions of this piece. Just finished putting the chamfers around the through tenons and will make the saw kerf to accept contrasting wedges in rare 2000 year old bog oak.
Also had a delivery this morning - a Fuji Q4 spray system! I’ve sprayed quite a bit at my last job, so know what to expect when using spray equipment. I will finish this piece with water based lacquer as I’m told these products are now equivalent to catalyst lacquers, but without the risks to health and damage to the environment.
