to a bomb prototype using a Galvanic Skin Response Sensor. This is a waveform visualisation of Loizeau detonating the bomb. You can see it's pretty even all the way along and the bomb blast is easy to spot. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio01.jpg" width="670" height="254" width_o="973" height_o="369" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio01_o.jpg" data-mid="15798899" border="0" align="left"/> This is Potter detonating the bomb knowing that it will trigger. You can see the same shape bomb blast but then there's more extreme waves afterwards. It still looks even before and after. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio02.jpg" width="670" height="250" width_o="987" height_o="369" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio02_o.jpg" data-mid="15798937" border="0" align="left"/> Closer in you get more info. At this magnification you can see the waves from Loizeau's GSR audio output are even prior to the detonation, but the frequency is low enough to see individual spikes quite clearly. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio03.jpg" width="670" height="246" width_o="963" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio03_o.jpg" data-mid="15798978" border="0" align="left"/> At the same magnification, Potter's waves are still too close together to see any clear spikes at all. This is almost certainly a graphic representation of panic. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio04.jpg" width="670" height="250" width_o="979" height_o="366" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio04_o.jpg" data-mid="15799028" border="0" align="left"/> The second 'blob' of activity after the bomb blast is Loizeau laughing, then Potter breathes out and Ward takes a photo. This now scientifically proves that Potter is way more scared of that prototype than Loizeau (I couldn't do Ward's because there was too much talking over the GSR audio, however I speculate that he will come second). Huston, we have new knowledge. This is Jimmy's GSR audio over two 0.5 second periods. The first is before the boom, when the sound seems to be at its lowest pitch. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio05.jpg" width="670" height="248" width_o="980" height_o="364" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio05_o.jpg" data-mid="15799031" border="0" align="left"/> This one is 4.5 seconds after the boom, when the pitch gets to its highest. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio06.jpg" width="670" height="248" width_o="981" height_o="364" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3092220/GSRaudio06_o.jpg" data-mid="15799036" border="0" align="left"/> This is Laura's GSR audio over two 0.5 second periods.

Jimmy is still the Winner. Can we use the word designtific (like de-scientific)?

MW: I really like the choice of the Eiffel tower – the tower is an icon with a view. Millions of people every year go up the tower for a romantic view of Paris. I think it’s important to subvert the view to something more unexpected: something never seen before. This got me thinking about two main things – ‘witnessing the unimaginable’ and the ‘parasitic view’ – free riding on a popular attraction. People are always fascinated by witnessing the unusual, unexpected, impossible, unlikely moment of seeing something – the northern lights, a solar eclipse, freeze-frame of a bullet’s impact, a nuclear explosion (I realize that my categorisation is extremely sloppy). Could the project be a range of installations, objects and propositions for ‘witnessing the unimaginable’? The ‘parasitic view’ builds physical parasites to feed off the power of mass tourism. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3091359/tower_early_model.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="1024" height_o="683" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3091359/tower_early_model_o.jpg" data-mid="15808709" border="0" align="left"/> LP: I’d like to do some work on the idea of a souvenir of the bullet experience. We have the potential ‘photo opportunity’ like when you go on a rollercoaster, but is there also a material artefact to take away? Does it include the bullet or the casing or both? Or are these too obvious? Do we model a scale version of the Tower with the bullet tube added on? The snow globe could contain the bullet, plus some high viscosity fluid to keep it ‘suspended’ inside. The casing could be engraved. We could have little replicas of the Snipettes (random term I just invented for the dudes who fire the M16), and then the souvenir would be a small ‘soldier’ looking figure (except not a soldier a Snipette). Is it a key ring? There’s always key rings. Or is it some high-end designerly take on a contemporary souvenir not a kitsch piece of tat? MW: Spinning off from the Reiffel Tower, what other spectacular things would tourists want to see? I think it could fall into two main categories; rare natural phenomenon and extreme, rare and new science. Natural Phenomena: Since the dawn of Man people have put special value on seeing rare and extreme events of nature – from the mythical powers of the eclipse to the spectacle of lightning. Today we have a more commodified version of it – travel companies tailor holidays around the notion of ‘extreme tourism’ – whether it’s visiting an active volcano, ice diving or flying over the Chernobyl zone. Maybe we have to unite ‘conventional’ and ‘extreme’ tourism with a series of proposals and parasitic structures. Extreme Science: This category is a hybrid between the demonstrations from the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures and the witnessing of nuclear testing. In an age were we can’t distinguish between reality and special effects, we should try to design experiences to cause awe and amazement in the audiences. It should also capture the feeling you had when you played with your chemistry set. I guess it’s trying to capture Arthur C Clark’s Third Law of Predication: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. JL: J’aime La Tour Reiffel.
 LP: Maybe we have to unite ‘conventional’ and ‘extreme’ tourism with a series of proposals and parasitic structures. Is this important? It’s about putting the extreme back into the now conventional ‘attractions’? We take tourist attractions which were once splendid and awesome, but which are now maybe not enough to satisfy our greedy contemporary appetites for experience, and we pimp them with extreme parasites. We add bling. It’s a new lease of life for under-appreciated or unfashionable monuments/structures/venues (whatever). Perhaps the point is that we need ever-greater magnifications of ‘thrill’ just to feel, well thrilled, or inspired, or elevated out of everyday life. Get away from it all. Once upon a time the Eiffel Tower was properly impressive [I still think it is btw, so on some levels this becomes a critique], but now people need bigger and better attractions/distractions. We have virtual worlds in which to escape. If we add an extreme element to something that should be inspiring enough in itself, are we strengthening or weakening the ideas? Are we reinventing iconic monuments/structures/venues in order to change their profiles into something new and exciting again? Changing the familiar into the unfamiliar once more, so we can see it again with a refreshed sense of wonder? The World is not enough.
 MW: The Grand Canyon Skywalk: Doing a quick search on the internet it became quickly obvious that both the ‘technical achievement’ of the structure and the ‘awe’ that it provokes were its two key selling points (to use the Skywalk you have to pay $80). The comparative height is really important. LP: The Grand Canyon Skywalk made me curious as to what else is out there with a similar sense of ‘thrill of the impossible’. In a way, the Skywalk is important for technical and financial reasons: someone spent a lot of money putting that up there, and it costs a lot of money to do it. It’s also a massive rip off according to many commentators… So anyway, I found a list and there were a couple of things I think we should talk about. There were lots of high-adrenalin things (bungees and terrifying roller-coasters) but I don’t think we’re interested in those. Zero Gravity: For $4500 you can experience five minutes of astronaut-style weightlessness with Zero- Virgin Galactic: Richard Branson and American aerospace engineer Burt Rutan want to fly six passengers to the edge of the atmosphere (or 100km above the surface of our planet) in the world’s most extreme ride. CSI Experience at Vienna Prater: CSI – The Experience is a completely immersive exhibit that invites visitors to enter crime scenes where they identify and record evidence. It takes them inside laboratories for scientific testing and autopsy rooms for pathology analysis. Then it returns them to the office to build their case, based on the scientific evidence. (This last one is brilliant) Hostage rescue team: Have you ever wanted to be part of an Elite Special Operations team and control your own urban block? The Urban Training Centre in Seattle will train you to conduct an urban hostage rescue mission. For $3900 you will be issued with an M4 assault rifle, M9 missile and body armour. Then join other military minded men and women to infiltrate the area and complete your mission.This starts to link back to the fictional bomb.
 From The Frenzy of the Visible: Spectacle and Motion in the Era of the Digital by Angela Ndalianis (2000) ...when Neo is shot, then resurrected (triggered by a kiss from Trinity in 'real' space that reverses the Prince Charming tradition) his speed becomes a mark of his Holiness. He is driven by a speed that is so phenomenal he can catch bullets in full flight. And we become party to this holy experience within the matrix. We witness his speed through the stillness of the image. Bullets are literally frozen in time and space and we marvel at Neo who contemplates bullets that we know move so fast they should be imperceptible to the human eye. We see the world through his eyes, eyes that create a freeze-frame effect out of 'bullet-time' speed. In these last minutes of the film, Neo has mastered the frenzy of the visible and we have been granted access to this mastery. From The Secret Miracle by Jorge Luis Borges (1944): The squad formed and stood at attention. Hladik, standing against the barracks wall, waited for the volley. Someone pointed out that the wall was going to be stained with blood; the victim was ordered to step forward a few paces. Incongruously, this reminded Hladik of the fumbling preparations of photographers. A big drop of rain struck one of Hladik’s temples and rolled slowly down his cheek; the sergeant shouted the final order.The physical universe came to a halt. The guns converged on Hladik, but the men who were to kill him stood motionless. The sergeant’s arm eternized an unfinished gesture. On a paving stone of the courtyard a bee cast an unchanging shadow. The wind had ceased, as in a picture […]

Most definitions attempt to find a balance somewhere between overly sharp definition and meaningless generalities. Some sources have tried to use formalistic, doctrinal definitions while others have emphasized experiential, emotive, intuitive, valuational and ethical factors.* JL: Using two televisions I was attempting to stimulate the temporal lobe areas of my brain in search of an experience of otherness or a sense of connectedness, believed to be felt during a religious episode. The televisions were tuned out to avoid distraction and the volume was turned down but not completely as the gentle hiss from the TV sounded like waves or the wind in trees and felt appropriate and soothing. The experiment was ad-hoc and although I did feel strange afterwards the concentration of EMF was not focused on a particular part of the brain responsible for religious experience. And I could not rule out the fact that placebo was playing a part in making me feel bizarre. MW: I don’t believe in God, I’m not a spiritual person, I don’t seek approval or direction from a higher source. However, I find the cultural position of organised religion fascinating. By suggesting that we ask others to make the helmets, we released the project into the social domain. That’s not to say that it was introspective, but it was about the psychological ramifications of Electro-magnetism, not the social implications of a technologically negotiated belief. You will need to select your preferred earthing mechanism – plug or clip – and connect the exposed wires at one end of the earth cable to your chosen mechanism. MW: I guess people approach their faith in different ways. Some are quiet believers, holding their thoughts to themselves for their own benefits. This type of faith can range from hardcore Catholicism to Buddhism or just plain New Age meditation. I’m more interested in the politics of the situations: the new social structures, the new negotiations of power, the new cultures of use and re-use. Once The Church of Assisted Belief has gone into the wild, it’ll start to pull up really interesting questions. Plugger or Clipper?

The calculation was devised by engineer Brian Ballard, in order to find the apex of a bullet fired vertically from an M16. This is the point at which the bullet will be static for a fraction of a second, and therefore determines the distance between the firing mechanism and the viewing platform. In other words, it tells us how deep we need to dig. In this first calculation, we see the bullet reaching 2367.34m, which would mean that the tunnel leading to the shooting facility would need to extend 2043.34m below ground level. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/Brian-s_sum1.jpg" width="670" height="380" width_o="1024" height_o="582" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/Brian-s_sum1_o.jpg" data-mid="15771290" border="0" align="left"/> With the introduction of Sulphur Hexafluoride - the densest gas known - we see the trajectory of the bullet reaching its uppermost point at 640.97m. This atmospheric 'dampener' is crucial to the structural feasibility of the project, bringing the subterranean construction to within the realms of possibility. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/Brian-s_sum2.jpg" width="670" height="374" width_o="1024" height_o="572" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/Brian-s_sum2_o.jpg" data-mid="15771313" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/5977958282_52a88667e0_b.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="1024" height_o="721" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/0/8084/3090360/5977958282_52a88667e0_b_o.jpg" data-mid="15775101" border="0" align="left"/> Ballard's Equation (aka Brian's Sum) provides the mathematical basis for the structural development of The Parasitic Spectacular.

Secure with tape if desired.* *Excerpt from The Church of Assisted Belief User Manual CofAB members exchange views on the subject of 'Plugging vs Clipping': CofAB1: I heard about your ‘Plugger’ verses ‘Clipper’ (Protestant/Catholic) observation. I am organising a march along Tottenham Court Road next week, and will be distributing leaflets around my local B&Q warning Pluggers that the errors of their ways will lead to temporal anomalies. CofAB2: I see non-pluggers as being a bit C of E. Sort of half assed non-committed heretics that gloss over lots of important details. Pluggers also tend to be better educated, come from more stable family backgrounds and can expect to get better jobs. CofAB1: Well that just goes to show how ignorant you are. Clippers are more liberal, free-spirited and tolerant, whilst Pluggers are conservative purists and mildly fascist. I know who I’d rather be. CofAB2: Clippers in other words are wishy-washy, not bothered and just do it for the social scene. CofAB1: Pluggers are most likely to become vicious fundamentalists armed with EMF weapons.
