Threadwaxing
Space, New York 1997
Project Description:
I constructed a camera rig for panoramic time-lapse
photography to capture a place over a period of time. I stood on the
corner of St. Marks Place and Bowery for 24 hours while the camera rig continually
grabbed QuickTimeVR scenes. I then built a television set that could do two
things:� 1. adjust the pan of the QTVR
scene by rotating the set on its base; and 2. adjust the time of day through
the channel selector. The user therefore controlled
the view,� both time and spatial.��
This piece was included in the "Elsewhere"
exhibit at The Threadwaxing Gallery.
Technical Notes:� The capture and camera control software was
written in Macromedia Director/Lingo.� The
stitching was done in MPW.� The playback
was done� in Macromedia Director/Lingo
controlled by a Basic Stamp.
