My travels through eternity’s ten dimensions

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 15 August, 2008 to the comment subset

A relatively straight-forward (given the subject matter) video presentation explaining the mind boggling concept of not four dimensions (time being the fourth) but rather ten dimensions, based on the book Imagining the Tenth Dimension by Rob Bryanton. Up until a few days ago I had no idea that there are (theoretically) ten dimensions to our universe. We're all pretty familiar with 2D and 3D, but anything beyond that ... Read full entry

Analogy: the typographic clock

Posted by John Lampard on Thursday, 29 May, 2008 to the design and art subset

Cool, a screensaver version of the typographic clock is on the way... Analogy is a typographic clock which explores the numerical and spatial qualities of digital and analogue clocks. This piece considers the relationship between the two, fusing them together to create a new hybrid format. It gives an everyday object a twist to make it something that people will notice.

The change has caught many software vendors off-guard however, with mobile phones and other applications reverting to standard time yesterday morning.

Time breakdown of modern web designer

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 28 March, 2008 to the design and art subset

"It's been three years since I left ... job." "It's been five years since ... arrived." "It's been two years since I moved in here." "It's been four years since I last saw ..."
