You were a comet in a coal bin.
A falling star,
I wished so hard would stay aloft.
I find joy in your legacy,
And miss the way you saw me.
The company of artists
Is an ecstatic dance of questions.
Too often cut short
By a curtain fall
Of curt and tragic answers.

Playing with dual independent Waveshare 1.5” RGB OLED screens attached to an RPi 4B. Will be showing two video streams of them to emulate the #bladerunner #voightkampff machine on our 1:1 scale #3dprinted #prop #waveshare #raspberrypi #maker #makersgonnamake

Now the two small screens on the #bladerunner #voightkampff 1:1 prop are mostly working. Need to fix the wrap around. #raspberrypi #ssd1351 #maker #maudlinmodellers @polerix.bsky.social

Things are starting to get real. #bladerunner #voightkampff #3dprinted #maker #propmaking faux screen mockup test.

Slowly picking up modelling and prop making again after a long break. Using this as therapy now.

Blade Runner Voight-Kampff bellows testing.

Next will be to mount the bellows subsystem along with the motor on the VK body. #Bladerunner #voightkampff #raspberrypi #3dprinting

I feel like we should be doing Voight Kampff tests on ANYONE wanting to take a position of power as empathy seems to be in short supply these days:

Designing bellows shape based on movie stills.

TinkerCAD model of bellows.

Dry fit of side patch panel without door.

Faux wiring greebles added to the top of the two smaller monitors.

WIP: Blade Runner Voight-Kampff 1:1 prop. Got a start on the RPi-controlled lit faux buttons. Can programmatically turn them on and off. Next: Make up a "boot / self-test / ready" sequence.

I built the Voight-Kampff machine featured in the movie Blade Runner. I used cardboard and parts sold at the 100 yen store.
But I didn’t have a spray bottle so I painted it with a brush, so the finish isn’t very pretty. #bladerunner #voightkampff #replicant #nexus6

Another view of the WIP #bladerunner #voightkampff 1:1 scale prop with lit electronics.

Voight-Kampff test text from Blade Runner: You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that? Bot answer on Quora: This scenario evokes themes of moral responsibility and choice. The act of flipping the tortoise over represents a moment of power and the dilemma of whether to intervene. Not helping could stem from various reasons, such as: Indifference: A lack of empathy or concern for the tortoise's suffering. Fear of Consequences: Concern about potential repercussions for intervening, whether physical or moral. Philosophical Belief: A belief in the natural order, thinking that the tortoise should fend for itself. Self-Interest: Prioritizing one’s own needs or goals over the creature’s plight. A Test: This scenario can be seen as a thought experiment about ethical decision-making and the nature of compassion. Ultimately, the choice not to help reflects deeper questions about human nature, ethics, and our responsibilities toward other living beings.

wait what

#VoightKampff #TortoiseInTheDesert

I’ve always wanted to make a Voight-Kampff test machine (the machine used by the Blade Runners to identify Replicants in the movie “Blade Runner”).

I used cardboard and things from the 100-yen shop.
I haven’t painted it yet, but it was fun just making it!

@brubaker A #voightkampff style test question actually came up in my job interview at my current job.

Every time you complete a line in Tetris your daughter gets a year older. Here comes a 4x1. You see the perfect spot for it. #VoightKampff

The hipster cupcake shop up the street is replaced by a place that sells live bait. The clientele remains exactly the same. #VoightKampff
