Demain matin, j'inaugurerai un cycle de recherche sur, grâce et autour de Tim Hunkin

Je découvre ce matin "The secret life of Machines" qui est une espèce de documentaire / sketch, en anglais, sur le monde de l'entreprise de "bureau" ; la bureaucratie , et la division du travail.

vidéo, remasterisé, 31 minutes.

L'odeur anarchiste du point de vue est indéniable, je le conseille à tous mes compagnons et camarades !

Je ne connaissais pas du tout Tim Hunkin !

Finally witnessed some Tim Hunkin goodness at Southwold Pier #timhunkin #southwold

Inspired by #Timhunkin at #emfcamp, I'm going to build my first coin operated thing. Bought one of these things, surprisingly sophisticated for £15!

Highlight #8: Tim Hunkin(!) and his fabulous mechanical arcade machine, Revolution. I absolutely loved walking the site with Tim and introducing him to astonished people

An incredibly famous man in shirt and jeans stands next to a towering mechanical contraption. Lit inside with yellow light, it is full of bent wire tracks for a giant ball bearing and five 3D tableaus He is pointing at the innards and talking about them.

This photo of Tim Hunkin is now illustrating the article about him on Wikipedia.

Walking around #emfcamp admiring all the games, arcade machines and gadgets that people had built made me think of Tim Hunkin. Then I spotted the man himself on the schedule, doing a talk about the history of electric shocks. Incredible!

Made a pilgrimage to see this gallery at the science museum before it closes. #timhunkin

The secret life of the home.

I played i-Zombie at Novelty Automation, London. Pushed the emergency button within 2 seconds of it illuminating - couldn't stand to be without my #smartphone

#TimHunkin continues his series on "The Secret Life of Arcade Machines"

The amazing #TimHunkin has started a new series of videos talking about how he makes his #arcade machines - Great stuff for #makers that are into #electronics. You can catch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX3RdD2qwdg

New arcade game: Two Ton School Run
"You're going to drive your kids 400m to the school at the top, safely protected by your 2 tonne four wheel drive SUV. All you have to do is get there without hitting anything."
"Wicked, you're a seriously bad parent".

When I went for my morning walk today, someone was driving on a residential road used as a school drop-off staring at her phone in her hand.

https://www.timhunkin.com/control/a_arcade_index.htm one of my favorite people. #TimHunkin and his #Arcade I’d love to visit sometime! #SecretLifeOfMachines

https://youtube.com/watch?v=yuUyt9RG7pk&si=YTFywE6VE51hL4wB. #TimHunkin #SecretLifeOfMachines one of the best shows ever made!

I will never not stop refrain from sharing my possibly most favourite #YouTube video series - "The Secret Life of Components" by #TimHunkin

If you ever saw the old TV series "The Secret Life of Machines" twenty years ago, this is the very same Tim Hunkin sharing all that he has learned about using sensors, chain, glue and so on and so on.

If you did not, you *still* need to watch this. It's just all around brilliant. Here's the introduction episode:

https://youtu.be/6JAgXz6xO0s?feature=shared

Had an enjoyable visit to Novelty Automation in London last week. There are lots of lovely machines there. Here are four of them.

1/ The "Is it art?" machine assessing my penknife.
2/ "Travel by tube" features a beggar and a dog lady.
3/ A "pong" video game, controlled by pedalling forwards or backwards to move the bat up or down the screen.
4/ The "instant weight loss" machine. After telling you your body mass index is too high it cooks and delivers a nourishing single grain of popcorn.

A near life size carved man (who looks rather like Tim Hunkin did when he was younger) peers intently at a glass box containing my Swiss Army penknife.

A model of part of an underground carriage. Four carved figures are sitting on seats under the windows. A carved child figure is peering into a shopping bag on the floor. The central door area is empty.

Rear view of two people concentrating intently on a game of "cycle pong". The score is currently 3-3.

A large machine with a central "BMI" dial. Above is a screen showing a picture of a plump Angela Merkel and captioned "before".

We watched Tim Hunkin's fun video (original from c.1987) on fax machines, and when he got to the bit where he and the late Rex Garrod demonstrated how they send messages over long distances, I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, Terry Pratchett had watched this too, and that it was at least partly the inspiration for the clacks.

And I was both happy and sad at the same time.

The cam timer that Tim Hunkin featured briefly in his latest Secret Life of Components video

reminded me of a very similar #mechanism that @MLE_online created recently
