Helen Holmes
Full text linkHelen Holmes became a star playing the part of the fearless railroad telegrapher “Helen” in the Kalem Company’s long-running, stunt-driven serial The Hazards of Helen (1914–1917), and continued to make action films through the decade as an independent writer and producer. Not only were her films successful at the box office, but they featured some of the most heroic female images in silent cinema as she leapt to the top of speeding trains and handled pistols with ease. Did these images—at least some of them—originate with Holmes? Certainly Helen Holmes needs to be situated within a tradition that included the American branch of Pathé Frères Company’s Pearl White, Selig Polyscope Company’s Kathlyn Williams, and Universal Film Manufacturing Company’s Grace Cunard. Some would argue that Holmes carried on at Kalem in the tradition of Gene Gauntier, who had physically risked so much in the Girl Spy series. But Gauntier ’s memoir gives far more information about how she wrote scenarios and set up stunts for her character while at Kalem. With few sources other than extant films and popular and trade magazine discourse, it is difficult to discern the exact role Helen Holmes played behind the camera

Integrated corner mirrors physically micromachined in silica-on-silica
No full textIn integrated photonics, compact redirection of light can be achieved by corner (turning) mirrors, providing a route to higher density optical components. Corner mirrors have been demonstrated in both silicon-on-insulator and hollow waveguides with reported losses of 0.9dB [1] and 0.8dB [2] respectively. We report a novel method of fabricating mirrors on a silica-on-silicon substrate. The method utilises the complementary techniques of physical micromachining and direct UV writing, both providing rapid prototyping outside the cleanroom environment

From Wunderkammern to Kinect: The Creation of 'Shadow Worlds'
No full textThis paper focuses on two projects, Still Life No. 1 and Shadow Worlds | Writers' Rooms [Brontë Parsonage], to reveal the creative approaches the authors take to site, technology, and the self in their production of shadow worlds as sites of wonder. Informed by the uncanny (re-animation and the double) and an interest in the limen (thresholds in the real and virtual realms), the projects explore white light and infrared digital 3D scanning technologies as tools for capture and transformation. The authors will discuss how they suture the past with the present and ways that light slips secretly between us, revealing other realms
