Project Description:
The idea is to give glass a memory.� If
you replace one pane of your window with memory glass, you can capture the view
from that pane in the window at every moment.�
As the window ages, you see the changes that time brings -- people, technologies
and fashions change, neighborhoods transform and people grow up.
In
the installation a user can alter the time shown in the memory pane through
a spinning a globe, which serves as the controller.
Technical Notes:
I wrote the capturing software as a Java application and used a Basic Stamp
for the globe's microcontroller.
