Acquiring Deeper Knowledge
Experimentation is a path to discovery. It is a cornerstone in the empirical approach to aquiring esoteric knowledge and a deeper understanding of a particular subject. Experimentation may involve countless hours of observation, investigation and creative problem solving. The goal may be to prove theoretical assumptions, test an unfamiliar principle or establish a new paradigm. It may also be used to determine a course of action or to develop a variation on an existing idea, technique or methodology.
Some of my experiments are shown below. The links shown on this page will redirect to my alternate domain (dhumann.com).
The Tell-Tale Heart
First published in 1843, The Tell-Tale Heart is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843—widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Poe's most famous tales.
My adaptation was an exercise in web design which gave me the opportunity to revisit a classic horror story—just in time for Halloween. Turn down the lights and peer into the mind of a madman.
Boulderama - A Panoramic Image of Boulder, Colorado
Where is Boulder?
The City of Boulder is located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, northwest of Denver, Colorado (U.S.). Boulder was settled in 1858 as a mining town but has since grown to include industries such as aerospace and biological research as well as manufacturing (e.g. electronic equipment, computer software and medical supplies). Boulder is home to the University of Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in addition to other government and private research operations. Boulder is also well known as a mountain sports, wellness and "New Age" mecca.
Project Overview
This project was inspired from a photographic study of the Flatirons that I conducted in December of 2006.
The final panorama of Boulder and the Flatirons was created from approximately twenty [20] photographs which were taken from the Scenic Overlook, (south of Boulder) in January of 2007. The images were digitally stitched together to give the impression of one extremely long, seamless image.
