post script; What was that film you showed us in class? The yelling characters with the sudden change expressions, and the inclusion of the animator himself.... i thought it was one of the Jiri's, but I've had no luck finding it...

and annother:



the waystation is the means that exports can be transported across millions of miles, and each waystation is manned by a navigator. a waystation is essentially an orbiting gate which emits a highly focused magnetic beam. These beams draw streams os cargo through and away to other waystations. in this way each planet can be supplied with all the nescessary resources for creating more annexbots and waystations.
in use it was discovered that equiping standard annexbots with feet made from any inorganic material such as metal, meant that they would wear out in harsh climates. so a common solution to this is to graft hooves or some other regenerating material as feet.



irata is a hunter. very seldom does a navigator remain on the surface. if the annexbot is a knight, irata would be a bishop.

john burden is the name given to the man in the box. he is pure biomass, an investment of resources, capable of being ground down for central nervous systems, or tissue.

here is annother chapter,



the expansion rifel is the standard peice of equipment for the annexbot. its primary function is to release projectiles consisting of - clusters of rapidly expanding nanites. however its usefulness is that it can be altered to serve any desired purpose. in this sense it expands. can form fluid dispersal, cutting, combustion. the rifel itself consists of many nanites.

 here is the beginning of an explaination


 the inspiration is a story i heard about the colonization of mars. i don't
 know if it is true, but that doesn't change my feelings about it.

 a ship goes out the journey takes so long that the people who arrive are
 actually the generation after those who left home. these people would be
 born with no exposure to virus etc, so they would need to have their
 immunities boosted artificially. this is achieved by implanting nanites
 into their bodies.

 the limited crew members would limit the amount of generations before
 inbreeding. The first solution is to hold biosamples and implement
 cloning.

 since these nanites are essentially electronic robots they need a power
 source. since batteries or capacitors would eventually wear down, and size
 is a major issue, developers took a more biological route. there was
 discovered a single celled organism which spun. its entire life consisted
 in making clockwise(?) rotation. this organism provides the biomass to
 drive the motors etc...

 the first step once the ships reach the planet is terra forming. this is
 achieved by spreading over the surface of the atmosphere a single celled
 plant, which would convert the atmosphere from carbon dioxide to
 breathable oxygen.

 these ideas set the stage for the world of annex.

 the annexbot is the colonist. a robot designed to scout potential planets
 for their usefulness. within them is the seed of the navigator. their cns
 core is a generating nerve sample taken from the navigator. as the sample
 grows, the annexbot becomes the navigator.

 the navigator has never been on the surface of a planet. His body having
 never been subject to gravity is nearly totally atrophied.

2.5 Fraction collection according to volume

If you utilise the peristaltic pump Preciflow you can take fractions of precise volume (from 0.01 to 500 ml per fraction). The heart of this pump is a stepping motor controlled by a generator of electric impulses (microprocessor). After each impulse the motor turns by one step. This movement displaces a small precise volume of liquid. The collector counts these impulses and make thus possible to deliver an exact volume of liquid to each fraction. This method is much better than the old drop counting, where the volume is affected by the viscosity or surface tension etc.

 

 

 

GSR in Biofeedback: The galvanic skin response (GSR) feedback instrument measures skin conductivity from the fingers and / or palms. The GSR is highly sensitive to emotions in some people. GSR feedback has been used in the treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhydorses) and related dermatological conditions, and for relaxing and desensitization training.

i see the role of the designer in my work, and this is the area i am beginning to feel is lacking. I sit down to make more little expirimental films, and all i can come up with is little snippets. parts, elements, the way these elements relate to the whole is its design. but it feels like i havn't been able to make a whole in a long while. I can create anything I want, given enough time and the right materials, so what do i want? I feel like I don't yet really know so i concentrate on little waves, on the parts. what it is the thing i want to make? a world? yes, a world. What is a world? The collection of feelings associations. A world is an all encompasing collection of rules and feelings. imagine everything. yes. What am I trying to say? What am I doing?I shall have to narrow it down, simplify. one thing at a time. by creating a collection of things, feelings, messeges, glimpses into annother life. through the parts we can see the whole, so I begin with the parts...

 

either i have become lost, or i am on the right path.

i just had a show last night, had a lot of fun. it was supprising, a lot of people showed up, somehow that still suprises me. we did an interview with some people from channle 32, kmpt. it'll air in january, we'll se how it goes. it might be really funny...

it woun't make sense...
what if instead of injecting a serum to mutate the biomass, we monitored and maintained it by adjusting the levels circulating through the tank.

i think i am either going to make a mad sort of overwhelming video of visual collage, that will include my sculpture... or i am going to make a series of short annexbot clips, or animate my comic book, or finish the video for paraphan,

i feel a bit refreshed after the show, lets see how long it lasts...

i don't feel like my needs are being met as a student. While the school has much to offer in the way of facilities, and the teachers are well versed in their respective programs, I frequently need to remind myself that this is a highly technical school. basically I need to keep telling myself that I am enrolled in a tradeschool, that trade just happens to be "art". A large part of the problem seems to be in separating form and content. All I am learning here is form. each class either introduces a new program, or delves more deeply into one. The work being produced is totally devoid of meaning.

 

Right now I just want to learn how to say something. Communication. I want to develope the idea, the message. I just keep telling myself that this will pass, and that now i just need to do my work. that the important thing is that peice of paper that I'm working towards, but I realize that that peice of paper only means that I'm willing to do this work that I don't want to do, work that I find both meaningless and pointless.

cool stuff

My name is brad isdrab. I am an artist and I am 24 years old. I am not a person who can slowly allow time to pass. I am always doing something, and often three things at a time. This means that at any given time I have three projects going, and I always have new artwork, in some form. I am hopelessly addicted to what I call the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of getting something done.  There are smaller pieces, which I use to develop my ideas, like sketches, which I show and sell, and larger more elaborate pieces, which I use for my films. Presently I am developing a comic into a film, and another three films in addition to two music videos. I hope that by showing my work and creating a following, my work can be seen by people who like it enough to want to help me create it. I am hoping to find investors, and people to help the worlds I want to make real.

either really dumb, or kinda funny
