Technology Will Save Us Arduino Course
Bullet directors, Gorm and Kathy attended the High tech at Bistroteque on Saturday. Ran by Technology Will Save us in conjunction with The School of Life the course covered basic electronic skills such as soldering circuit boards togther. This lead on to us looking at Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Bullet hope to be incorporating this technology in to some forthcoming projects. During the day, we built our own digital creature, then learnt to program it. A very interesting day, with awesome instructors and classmates.
We just messed around with a simple led, speaker, variable resistor set up. But ultimately you can do cool stuff like this Kinetic Art piece at the BMW museam:
Lights On At Siobhan Davies Studios
Bullet were lucky enough to check out the private view of the new exhibition at Siobhan Davies Studios down in Elephant and Castle.
The exhibition, and the studios building it is in is well worth a visit. Find out more about the Exhibition here
Last of the Kodachrome
As we close the year of 2010, on December the 30th, Dwayne’s Photo lab in Parsons, Kansas, USA, did its final processing of any Kodachrome film that had been submittted to them. They were the last lab still processing this film. Kodachrome was an iconic film stock, that was a mainstay of many photographers, and also used alot in the motion picture industry. With the advent of digital technolgy for capturing images, Kodak stopped making the film in 2009. The last ever film produced was given to Steve McCurry, he shot the roll earlier in 2010. The results are sublime.

Popular Science Magazine over 125 years
Found this epic visualisation of the US magazine: Popular Science. It shows how over the las 125 years the temporal changes from a visual point of view. As we get closer to current day, the magazine is more image lead. Does this mean we are dumbing down? Or that an image can speak a thousand words? Click the image below to see high res version. And ready up more about the great work on this visulaistaion at the Software Studies Initiative over at UCSD here
PS sorry we have not updated our blog for a while, we have been working on some exciting projects recently!
Kim Rugg: Cut up artist
The amount of time and effort that goes into this Canadian born, London, UK based artists work is testament to the quality of the work produced. Not only does she rearrange the letters in her Newspaper pieces, but it looks like she is rearranging the pixels in the photos! Superb stuff, (via Coolhunting)
David Engdahl Sculpture
Inspiring stuff from this artist who works in wood taking inspiration from the natural environment. Now where did I put my black and decker? Click here to view.
Homemade Spacecraft
We here at Bullet towers love anything to do with space, and diy, so when we saw this video, we thought, amazing win win.
2010 Film Images
We are a big fan of the sci-fi film genera over here at Bullet Towers, so when we chanced on these images we were hyped.
More of this good stuff here.
