Acquiring Deeper Knowledge
The experiment is a cornerstone in the empirical approach to acquiring deeper knowledge about a subject. An experiment is defined, in science, as a method of investigating less known fields, solving practical problems and proving theoretical assumptions. It can be thought of as a specific type of method used in scientific inquiries, usually to study causality. Often the objective is to test a hypothesis: i.e. a tentative explanation of a phenomenon or mechanism of causality.
Some of my experiments are shown below...
The Tell-Tale Heart
First published in 1843, The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843—widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Poe's most famous tales.
My adaptation was an exercise in web design which gave me the opportunity to revisit a classic horror story—just in time for Halloween. Turn down the lights and peer into the soul of a madman.
Boulderama - A Panoramic Image of Boulder, Colorado
Where is Boulder?
The City of Boulder is located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, northwest of Denver, Colorado (U.S.). Boulder was settled in 1858 as a mining town but has since grown to include industries such as aerospace and biological research as well as manufacturing (e.g. electronic equipment, computer software and medical supplies). Boulder is home to the University of Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in addition to other government and private research operations. Boulder is also well known as a mountain sports, wellness and "New Age" mecca.
Project Overview
This project was inspired from a photographic study of the Flatirons that I conducted in December of 2006.
The resultant panorama of Boulder and the Flatirons was created from approximately twenty photographs which were taken from the Scenic Overlook, (south of Boulder) in January of 2007. These photographs were taken without the help of a tripod, so I had to hold the camera still, rotate my body and snap each image. This was achieved by centering my view, turning to the extreme left and rotating approximately ten degrees to the right per exposure. These images were crudely "stitched" together to give the impression of one extremely long, seamless image.
