Supafly345 Is there a way to die lightbulbs? Because I know that a lot of those lightbulbs would get sorta smokey colored kinda quickly, before they blew out even. I've been sitting here thinking why it looked too modern to me and knew it was something small, thats all I could come up with.

J. Tithonus Pednaud Bioshock? The movie? Oh wait - the game, just looked it up. I do sell them on commission, though these are simple compared to a lot of my other stuff.

J. Tithonus Pednaud Still building these these for various projects and film productions.

This last one was fun, it's for an in-production Canadian television series. I was given the basic premise of 'a steampunk/victorian/executive weather machine'.



The themometer, barometer and humidity dial all function as do all the lights (on independant dimmers) also features an ion sphere.

J. Tithonus Pednaud Nope, it's an old pine curio box. Thanks for the feedback on it though. It would make a sweet set of speakers.

DuFresne That's a pretty nice speaker you made it out of! (I think)

kahljorn that's pretty cool dude.

Prop Time Machine

I've recently started building light and electrical themed sculptures with a Victorian pseudo-science edge. Most recently, I entered the build below into a show titled and themed 'Frozen in Time'. I just got it back from the gallery and thought I would share.

I built a prop time machine:

The device powers up with a push button. The device is also completely interactive and plays sounds. At start up a grandfather clock winds, while running it sounds like an air compressor and the sound of a Jacobs Ladder arcing can be heard on occasion - it also chimes every 10 minutes. A lever and dial on the front activate the lights (independently). Everything on the device is functional. No random bits just for looks.

I went for a humor approach with it as well. The sticker on the side of the device (which I named the Tempus Apparatus) warns the user to completely read and understand the manual before attempting to use the device. The manual is, of course, missing.

I also included some fictional diagrams, and a fictional back story. I promoted the device as a 'fully functional time machine'. It was only after people viewed the device and read the back story that they learnt the limitations of the device. That it only propelled people into the future in small increments of one second.

Anyway, I've built a few similar devices on commission. Though those I am promoting as 'art lamps'.
