RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY

Welcome to the research and development laboratory of Analogue Art Map where you can witness the developmental works and tangent experiments of the group. These are not meant to be seen as finished works but are instead embryonic ideas, recordings and experiments developed in a sandbox/playground environment.

Feel free to look around.

Analogue Augmented Reality

For some time now here at the Lab we have been experimenting with analogue mobile and locative and technologies with some interesting results. Recently we trialled an analogue augmented reality interface with student at various locations in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore.

Nondigital 3D animation

They said it couldnt be done.

We are happy to present some of our peliminary research in to non digital 3D animation. This 3D zoetrope was created using 12 tiny sculptures of running movement based on Eadweard Muybridge photographs. A stereo turntable provides the momentum.

Through research like this we hope to create an Analogue version of a 3D environment like Second Life that will appropriatly be called "First Life" or just "Life" for short.

Steam Stereo

Currently the experience and distribution of music relies heavily on technology. To counter this, we have constructed a turntable powered only by steam. This is not meant to be considered as a viable alternative yet, but perhaps this might be thought of as a step in the right direction. Obviously we are yet to resovle the amplification issue but otherwise the project was a huge sucess.
