“Most poetry just confounds me. I really want to like it, but I can’t help thinking it’s a hoax.”
Stephan Pastis.
Neat sound.
“The new Hyperviolin is the latest of the series of Hyperinstruments designed for expert musicians (the first Hyperviolin was created more than 10 years earlier.) The instrument is now a polyphonic electric violin from Jensen that drives multi-channel audio analysis software and embedded wireless bow hardware technology. It aims to give extra power and finesse to a virtuosic violinist (i.e., Joshua Bell, Cora Venus Lunny.) It allows for quick, intuitive, and creative results. Although its interface is identical to a standard violin, the sound output is very different, and creatively controllable. This new Hyperviolin was designed to respond more closely, organically, and intuitively to the player’s music, and to be fully autonomous, allowing for improvisation. It was also the ideal test platform for my Master’s research on real-time timbre transformation and morphing.”

“There is an extremely serious design issue that continues to plague the travellers of the world. I estimate that this problem has existed for centuries — or at least since the invention of the armrest.
We often find ourselves sitting next to people. People we don’t even know. Be it a bus, a train, a movie theatre, or any public place where seats are placed side-by-side. The “situation” I’m about to discuss becomes especially relevant on an airplane, where space is scarce, and sitting is a mandatory position for any number of hours.
It’s about sharing. Something that the world has shown little interest in. It’s also about the armrest, and how it’s precious few inches of solid existence can be a war zone — a battle between two elbows jockeying for position.”

On a close-up view, you can see on the left face, an angry man and on the right face, a woman with a neutral facial emotion. But further back, the faces change expression and even genders! if you squint, blink, or defocus, an angry man should substitute for the face of the woman and the left angry face should not be angry anymore.
