'Buoy' a Concrete & Stainless Steel table lamp.
The main body of the lamp is made from concrete that is held up by four slender stainless steel legs made of threaded rods.
Two white fiberglass braided silicone wires are guided from the top of the lamp to a black cord switch. Then from the switch comes the main black power cable with plug

"The Tides · Of Life"
The creation of the sculpture
This video shows how the #sculpture was originally designed as a logo in #Softimage #XSI and rendered in different styles over the years
In 2024 we finally made it into the wall #lamp it always was supposed to be by 3D-printing it in four pieces on a #Creality #Ender 5 Plus

Artic is the third luminaire in a series of light fixtures in which parts of a broken pressure washer are reused. The polybutylene terephthalate housing of the pressure washer’s electric motor has been repurposed as a lampshade.
Width: 13 cm
Depth: 20.5 cm
Height: 19 cm
Weight: +/- 2.15 Kg
Lanterna Magica
Four loose concrete piece come with the lamp. They fit on the concrete platform at the switch side. By placing a piece on the platform there’s the possibility to play with the appearance of the lamp and the light and shadow play that it produces.

Replaced this electric lantern in the barn with a LED projector. Much less romantic yellow light, but I can actually see something in there after dark. Also I won't have to sell a kidney whenever I forget to switch it off over night.
It's actually a pretty robust and well designed housing, so I want to restore it and eventually hang it on a lamp post somehwere, with a yellow LED bulb inside.

Some thoughts on my preliminary investigation of #Omeka ( https://omeka.org/classic/docs/Installation/Installing/ ).
Built on pretty standard #LAMP stack.
No official docker image that I could find, so of course I built my own.
Which reminded me why I HATE php.
Anyway.
Some light testing (running locally).
Pretty simple to use (good).
No fancy ideas about creating "presentation" versions of items, and keeping the original upload "pristine". I am of two minds on this - for now, not a problem for me, but I can see how large archives might be problematic.
For example, a MOV file needs to be presented as a MP4 for widest audience. And you probably don't want to lose the original.
With Omeka that means some manual work on the admin side.
It support plugins and themes - I'm of two minds here also. Good way
to extend functionality and allow for customization, but my experience with such things are not good ito longterm stabililty and maintenance.
I'm also not super keen on #MySQL as the db, due to recent corruptions issues with my #Nextcloud instance (moved that to #PostgreSQL ).
BUT, this will be read heavy, so maybe not an issue - hard-ish to corrupt a db by reading from it.
The useage of #DublinCore at least means (I think) in theory, if I really want, I should be able to migrate to another Dublin Core compatible system if needed. So...good.
My verdict - I'm going to play with it some more.
Install some plugins etc, see what happens.
I'm also building up a test set of assets, in case I want to eval something else.
Takamatsu I is a monolithic light sculpture shaped with straight lines, surfaces and spaces.
The lamps main body is made of concrete with a coarse sand as aggregate that has been wire brushed, sanded and or polished resulting in different textures and feels.

For if you like 'em small and heavy 'Khong' with its 2.85 Kg and a few decimeters in size is definitely one to have to brighten up your interior.
Only one made, Khong is a box of which rectangular and angular shapes are pushed out, pulled in and cut out. Lifted on 4 small feet on 2 different angles give the impression Khong is "walking".
Through openings its top and bottom indirect light emerges
