1ヶ月ぶりなんだよ
さぁさぁ、皆様お久しぶりでございます。
ここ最近音沙汰なかった理由は…パソコンのSDカードを読み取る機械が壊れましてね…。
写真をアップロード出来ないってのが原因です。
色々とモチベーションが吹き飛びましたです。
でも、写真は撮り続けているよ。
いつか一気にアップロードできたらいいなと思ってます。
あ、EVE Online始めました。

Little Shining Man is a sculpture that has the potential for flight.
The design of the structure is based around the tetra kites of Alexander Graham Bell, multiplied out into colliding cubes that take their form from the cubic formations of the mineral Pyrite. A double wing module has been duplicated and arranged into a tight cellular structural arrangement that appears as a heavy, un-flyable mass. Utilising lightweight materials and the symmetry of the module and composition, it is able to fly freely and steadily.
The kite flown in the images is one section of an arrangement of three, that come together to create the final piece of sculpture that is taken own from display once a year to be flown in St. Aubin’s Bay.
There were several challenges in realising Little Shining Man. The structure had to be as strong and light as possible in order to fly, but had to return to earth with minimal damage so it could be installed as a piece of sculpture. Carbon fibre rod and Cuben fibre, a hand made composite fabric used primarily in racing yacht sails, achieved the perfect combination of strength and weight. The visual impact of the fabric produces an ethereal sense of depth and refraction that gives the heavy mass the lightest touch.
