Test Installation

We've been hard at work, kicking up a storm of sawdust, lucite dust, metal shavings, and other debris.

It is hard to justify getting out Ross's digital camera to document our progress; I worry all the particles in the air might damage the lens. But who among us goes anywhere without their cell phone?

In the pictures in the following blogs, photos are all from our cells. My Nokia needs loads of light in order for the images to be clear; Edgar's iPod is marginally better....

The first image shows an exciting day in the Gallery: the test installation of our first "box".


What is it? A prototype of one of the box installations.
The idea for each box is to create a dynamic on how the scintillation panels react to being activated by the particles. Right now we are experimenting with black light, daylight, spotlight... any kind of light.




Ross hauls the box up to the ceiling with some help from the rest of the crew. Then we hook up the optics and it's lights out to enjoy the show.
