I think I have teased this already, so here it is:
Proudly presenting “ligra”, an open source projector/projection (LiGra – Light Graffiti) platform, allowing you to broadcast your messages, your logos, your artwork, whatever you need others to hear, to whoever sees it! :3

With ligra I wanted to explore image-projection and especially projections on the cheap, so I went to my local flea market and built a platform around old camera lenses. You can find two of them in the wild at #GPN22

Almost exactly the same picture except the foreground, ligra is now heavily out of focus and the background is in focus. It is set behind an out of focus railing. The main subject is a white wall, framed in its enormous hall and pillars. It is glanced in purple red light, red light is coming from various sources in the image. There is a large white projection on the wall, it says “kein mensch ist illegal”. The projection is textured and has print marks, but no distinguishable pixels

@janamarie reminds me a bit of the "Image Fulgurator", an art project that modified a 35mm camera to hold a slide and a flash behind it. The flash triggers when it senses someone else taking a flash photograph and projects the slide through the camera lens onto the other person's scene.

@jon you can also make anywhere a bike parking space by bringing your own "fietsnietjes"

@jon in the Netherlands the bike racks tend to be buried under a layer of bricks so that the streets can easily be reconfigured or repaired. not as secure as concrete, although probably good enough (hashtag threat model)

After watching the ship’s carpenter make beautiful surface finishes with their hand plane, I decided to try one for building magnetic fabric hangers.

What's your favorite mobile #retrocomputing form factor?

@thomasfuchs the "slate" form-factor of the TRS-80 Model 100 is my favorite since it is the only one that is really portable, plus they make decent xterms.

Our return flight from Tokyo to Amsterdam had to detour towards Alaska due to the closure of Russian airspace, which provided amazing scenery from the window seat. During the 14 hour flight we saw polar ice at 80°N, glaciers across northern Greenland, and icebergs in the Norwegian sea.

@foone did you ever see the YotaPhone? It was a normal Android mobile on one side, but if you flipped it over the screen would mirror onto a very fast e-ink display.

@jwz some “Fallout” CRTs look like proper cathode ray tubes with continuous raster lines, so maybe different effects teams on different shots?
