#18 Brendan Barry a His Melon, Bread and Skyscraper Cameras
What a wonderful selection of guests we have had since we started the show, all very inspirational loads of fun. Our guest on show 18 is no exception, so if you are unfamiliar with the work of Brendan Barry then head over to his website straight away – alternatively do that later, sit back, pour a glass of something and enjoy the conversation. Just a note of caution, we had a few audio issues for this episode, hopefully the gremlins will be gone for next time. Things we chatted about on the show Cary Norton builds cameras from Lego and was an early inspiration https://carynorton.com/legotron-mark-i Brendan was asked to turn the 46th floor of 101 Park Avenue into a camera obscura, the building has 160 windows and is a space of 26,000 ftsq – not a problem – just ask https://redhooklabs.com/ and https://aperture.org/about/ to hook up with some students of diverse backgrounds to come along and help.
