Contribute to the SEM Matrix!
The SEM Matrix catalogues all material that is generated with the Hitachi Table-Top Scanning Electron Microscope in our studio during this fall semester 2007.
A first version of this Matrix - "SEM Matrix 1.0" - will be presented as a large poster during our mid-review on 10/22/2007. The base structure of the matrix is a simple column/row grid, with species information in one- and morphological information in the other dimension. Each cell of the matrix is comprised of an original specimen scan (enhanced b/w image), a corresponding analytical line drawing "autopsy", and the specimen's taxonometric indexing. A standard naming convention shall identify each cell within the matrix.
An extended version "SEM Matrix 2.0" will be presented at our final review on 12/3/2007. It shall be produced in the form of a large poster and a thick booklet. In addition to the preliminary cell structure of the matrix, a secondary organizational principal emerges to suggest an additional dimension and spatial intelligence of the SEM catalogue. Morphological, structural, tectonic and performance-based groupings allow for intuitive navigation and probing of the expanding SEM space. In addition to the enhanced scanning material, the autopsy drawing and the textual information, corresponding 3D models will be included (paper models, 3D prints, renderings).
