ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Grant Patterson

Home: California, United States

ETIPADO: Extremely Tall Image Processing And Display Object is a startling demonstration of the persistence-of-vision effect: Shake your head "no" at a strobing column of light and images appear out of nowhere. Interact with the work by making faces in the work's camera, while friends see you in the strip of LEDs in real time. What's happening? The LEDs display vertical slices of images in fast succession. As your eye moves across the piece, the two-dimensional image “burns” into your retina, one column at a time. Sophisticated processing software takes real-time imagery from the attached digital camera and broadcasts them to the LEDs. ETIPADO is unexpected art: It’s easy to walk by and not notice it. Once discovered, participants are inspired to share the “secret” with those around them.

Making Photos with Marc Laucks Photography (NO LUNCH)

Faire: Wayne County

Maker: Marc Laucks

Home: Ohio, United States

It is common to describe the process of photography as "taking" a photo. Curiously photographers think of the process instead as "making pictures." A finished photo is a single instance of commitment to the unique combination of crop, color, exposure, highlights, shadows, sharpening, and luminance that MAKE each finished photo. I'll share with attendees how photographers "make" photos. Samples of my work will be available for people to see and explore, with limited items available for purchase.

FOGTOWN: The Puppetry Reimagining of the World's Greatest Detectives

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Fogtown

Home: Oregon, United States

Fogtown is an in-development TV series (and videogame!) for the whole family, blending the old-school art of puppetry with the cutting-edge innovations of virtual production. Emulating a small-scale style of the Volume-staged filmmaking used in The Mandalorian, Fogtown uses tools like Blender and the Unreal Engine to mix 3D printed puppets & props with digitally handcrafted environments that evoke the spirit of 1800s London (but reimagined with a cardboard diorama look). At our booth, we'll demonstrate the process of filming scenes for Fogtown and let fairgoers try out our choice-based videogame A Rum Case in Fogtown, featuring branching interactive movie gameplay. If you love The Muppets, Wallace & Gromit, or Sherlock Holmes, we think you'll really enjoy what we're up to!
