Huge (!) 2022 update to my 2016 Survey of Alternative Displays is currently live.

I (maybe) doubled the original content - covering over 30 types of "displays", made it easier to navigate, etc.

Please share around! https://t.co/cfYvwiksCj

I made a fake/dystopian sci-fi experiential agency site, processing over a decade of working in real ones. Case studies are fictional, but feel too real at the same time. https://t.co/ImforXvpxt

Sharing some WIP footage for a new experiment that uses photochromic pigment and a custom UV laser projector. The images fade over time, allowing for an evolving canvas.

@JoshuaDavis @zachlieberman Yep! I just ran out of my first run but I’m going to see if I can get enough orders for another - https://t.co/XMPp144B8B

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Oh and link to purchase a set is https://t.co/VzCsyRfPtf !

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Thanks @zachlieberman ! I just ran out of cards but I’ll collect new orders and see if I can fulfill in a few weeks!

New media tarot cards from @laserpilot

I’m excited to give an (online) talk at Futurespaces on Thursday - I’m going to cover the complexity of creative tech and also talk about info sharing and ways I think companies can find new ways to give back to the community - RSVP here! https://t.co/FZcHWIPfO9

Announcing that pre-orders are open for Post Mortem, my satirical AI generated tarot deck for experiential design and corporate agency work! You can go to the URL https://t.co/TYEuqgLhiO to order from this one time run #tarot #tarotcards #creativetech

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Used ComfyUI, Flux1D, and a couple civitai tarot LoRa's to make these. I developed most of the concepts-then either wrote the prompts or worked with ClaudeAI to help get me started.

I have almost 70 cards generated-I don't know what I'm doing with these yet, but they were fun!

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Creative tech and experience design often feels like it is trying to predict the future. Behold, an (AI generated) oracle deck that can help you do just that.

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

now I just want like 100 of these in an installation drawing various things while various 8bit scream sounds play throughout

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

My own personal blue/black dress today, but this version is - is this kids drawing toy a chicken or a screaming clown?

@danzeeeeman probably because NVIDIA isn't down with quantum states yet

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

In honor of today being sometimes ambiguous for whether it is a day off, I think they should just ultimately call it Schrödinger's Cat Day where you determine if you get the day off by observing it

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

If anyone knows a way to make or get an ILDA controlled UV laser projector, I’m all ears…or wondering if there is a way to “easily” replace a laser diode in an existing projector

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Experimenting with photochromic pigment in an acrylic base painted on paper. Then hitting it with a near UV laser pointer and LED

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Also tried just sticking the laser pointer right on my pen plotter #plotter #axidraw #penplotter

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

@jvcleave Sort of - it’s by appointment only. I’m doing some work with this museum and they were super nice and invited me on a tour

[Blair Neal @laserpilot]

Highlight from my visit to some amazing museum archives yesterday. 8 track controlled mannequin with Ana amazing switchboard array.

As someone working in tech, I can only hope my solutions today look as quaint and outdated in 50 years.
