Rule :
Place :

The Construction
Now, I must get down to work. Kerja, kerja, kerja... Rain or shine, siang atau malam... First day Puasa or not... By the way, selamat mengerjakan ibadah puasa kepada Cik Wan and the rest of the Muslim studio crew...
Me in the ditch, after a meagre meal during berbuka puasa...
I retrieved some bamboo culms from my RAG132 dome project and cut into required lengths,
and then cut into smaller strips. Ini untuk dijadikan bingkai kotak hitam.
Buluh yang telah dijadikan strips. Kinda blurry though, sebab the night mode kat camera kurang memuaskan...
Bamboo splints dibersih dan dirapikan, prepared according to specific lengths.
It's past midnight, a new day has begun.
Then I begin constructing the frame by fastening and securing bamboo strips with thin wires. And the ditch suddenly becomes very useful...
...Aligning the frames
Align again with another frame. Macam mana nak sambung ni...
Muktamad. Kerja-kerja menyediakan bingkai kotak hitam diteruskan.
Fastening and securing.
Bukan ahli muzik sedang berkarya, but an artist @ work!
My black box frames and me. Yang mana satu?
The finished frames... from afar.
... and the close-up.
Back in my room...
Materials for the cover - brown paper (dulu di sekolah rendah buat sampul buku) and some cellophane tapes. Belon pun dah tersedia...
Inilah hasil yang telah diusahakan... From dust till dawn... And today is the D-Day for submission, Friday the 13th.
My "black-box", without the cover and contents.
My "black box" ready to rock... Besar sangat ke ni?
News Update
In the studio, Cik Wan told us that the box must be flown too. Fikiran saya pun jadi kacau sekejap, camana ni ek? After a hard day's work...@#%?
Think! Think! Think! Think!
No, I won't give up...
Intention :
This project was issued in conjuction with the Merdeka Day Celebration where every member of the RUS101-2010 will be participating in the Merdeka Countdown, ushering Penang to 31st August 2010.
Rule :
- The black box must be made of bamboo and recycled paper.
- It must be able to accommodate 6 helium-filled standard sized balloons and no parts of the balloons shall be exposed.
- Balloons must be released by box owner one at a time.
- Box must be carryable by 20 balloons. (cancelled?)
- Box must be light and pass through USM bus door.
- Due by Friday the 13th.
Actor :
Who else? Me...Place :
USM compound.
Act :
Constructing the 6-balloon black box to specifications as shown in the snapshots of me below :
Pre-construction Planning
- Estimate the size of a standard size balloon full blown and multiply by six because the 6 balloons must fit into the black box. No parts shall be exposed.
- Tetapi sekiranya kotak dibuat single compartment dan belon disusun dalam single pile, kotak akan menjadi terlalu panjang.
- So, I decided to construct a twin-chamber box. Tiga belon akan diletakkan on top of one another dalam setiap chamber.
