On-line system which mainly executes regular jobs including apparatus for efficiently executing both regular jobs and irregular jobs


United States Patent US5095524

On-line system having a plurality of terminal equipments and host computers connectable to the terminal equipments, each host computer responsive to a job request from a terminal equipment being provided with an on-line process for transferring the control of the job request to a job execution process determined in accordance with the content of the job request, and a plurality of regular job execution processes for executing, if the job request is a regular job request, a regular job for the regular job request. The on-line control process is provided with an irregular job execution process space generating process for generating an irregular job execution process space for the irregular job execution. The irregular job execution process space generating process generates an irregular job execution process space upon the irregular job request from the terminal equipment, and calls an irregular job execution process request program for the irregular job request in the irregular job execution process space to execute an irregular job for the irregular job request.

The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hide

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by Robert L. Stevenson that was first published in 1886. Only in 1912 James Cruze made the movie.
The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often spuriously called split personality , wherein within the same person there are two distinct personalities. In this case, the two personalities in Dr Jekyll are apparently good and evil, with completely opposite levels of morality. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.

Kandinsky

Yellow-Red-Blu, Kandinsky 1925
Kandinsky explained the theories on the distribution of weight within the area and tried to outline the processes by which pictorial analysis of the minimal elements and principles of painting - such as point and line as a sequence of points , and their relationship with the surface that receives - leads to a synthesis of the spiritual order. To this end, he led an analysis that leads to extreme consequences be what he called 'the deep affinities between the different arts (painting with music, dance ..) and the organic connections between art and the forms of civilization or of anti-social.

Honeycomb


A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal waxcells built byhonet bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen.
The axes of honeycomb cells are always quasi-horizontal, and the non-angled rows of honeycomb cells are always horizontally (not vertically) aligned. Thus, each cell has two vertical walls, with "floors" and "ceilings" composed of two angled walls. The cells slope slightly upwards, between 9 and 14 degrees, towards the open ends.
The closed ends of the honeycomb cells are also an example of geometric efficiency.

Regular building with irregular solid: Central China TV

Central China TV building is architecture building for office in Beijing’s new Central Business District was designed by Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) located in Beijing, China.

Although the building is 230 meter tall it is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of horizontal and vertical sections that establish an urban site rather than point to the sky. The irregular grid on the building’s facades is an expression of the forces traveling throughout its structure.

Irregular volumes in a regular square in Berlin

The shoah monument, Eisenman, Berlin 2005

In a big area located between the Behrenstrasse and Ebertstraße (near the Brandenburg Gate) is located, according to a strict orthogonal grid of 2,711 concrete stele of a special variable height between 20 cm and more than 4 m, which gives the visitors the idea of a huge campaign shaped by the wind. Absolutely no names and symbolic meanings, hinting to the Jewish tradition, the place wants to be, the idea of the architect, a space in which the individual is alone with himself and his mind in order to make way for the memory . For a generic evocative function of the complex, suggested to those along the paths, was accompanied by concrete proof of historical documents on display in an underground information center. The repetition of shape and extension of the memorial evokes the founding principle of the tragedies of the twentieth century: the reason that if it becomes madness put to the service projects and negative ideals, to invest in the lives and human history in a boundless vastness of events death.

Portrait of Dorian Gray


The novel is set in London of the nineteenth century. Talk of Dorian Gray, a young man of extraordinary beauty, purity, simplicity, capable of transmitting unique feelings to those around him. The story begins in the studio of painter Basil Hallward, a man endowed with special sensitivity and test strong feelings for this guy, which is running the portrait. Along with him is Lord Henry Wotton, cynical and mentor with particular elegance.
Lord Henry will have a decision role in the life of Dorian,who know their Hallaward in fact, with his speeches very articulate, capture the attention of yhis guy,making him, little by little, almost the embodiment of his way of thinking.
Dorian in fact, after a long conversation with Lord Wotton, begins to look to youth as something really important, so try to be the envy of his portrait, beautiful and eternally young. This led him to conclude a "pact with the devil", by which remain eternally young and beautiful, while the picture will show signs of physical decline and moral character.
Will never reveal to anyone the existence of the painting, only to Hallward, then kill in a moment of madness fueled by criticism of the painter. Every so often, however, goes secretly in the attic to check and taunt his portrait that ages more and more every day, but that also creates many regrets and fears. Until, at the end of the novel, tired of the weight that the picture makes him feel, hoping to free himself from the wicked life he was leading, with a knife pierces the framework, the same with whom he had killed Hallward, considering it because of its evils as creator of the work.
His servants will find next to the pristine picture, an unrecognizable and prematurely withered Dorian Gray, who died at the foot of the painting with a knife stuck in his heart.

Trompe l'oeil

Spouses bedroom, Mantegna, Palazzo ducale di Mantova

Escaping criticism, Pere Borrell del caso


Trompe l'oeil, the French "tromper, deceive, and 'oeil, eye, nature is a painting technique, based on the use of light and shadow and perspective, that is life in such a way as to seem to eyes of the spectator an illusion of reality. It creates an ambiguity between the picture plane and the observer, be doing what in reality is three-dimensional two-dimensional, so in fact the observer perceives an illusory reality does not exist, created artificially through pictorial means . It is based largely on creating a sort of setting time wisely to incorporate functional elements to get then to meld with the architecture and at the same time to push the limits. The perfect simulation of the physical world creates a subtle play of between reality and perceptual illusion in which modern man is lost and in turn lose the limitations imposed by the phenomenological world.

Iluma: regular lights in irregular elements

Crystal Mesh is a new media facade.It consists of a tessellated pattern made of 3,000modules of deep-drawn polycarbonate covering a façade area of more than 5,000 m2. About 1,900 of these modules contain a regular matrix of compact fluorescent light tubes forming “active patches” within the façade. At night the light matrix superimposes the idiosyncratic physical structure of the white, crystalline daytime façade.
But the irregular arrangement of these patches – dividing the façade into areas with different resolutions – does not create a large, homogeneous screen in front of the building, but instead forms a more general impression of the building’s “medianess” as an addition to and an essential ingredient of its architecture.”



One of the things that is really like about Crystal Mesh is the way that realities:united have created a sculptural facade where each pixel is in fact not one pixel at all, but an animatable cluster of them. The result is a kind of sub-resolution, where each crystal in the mesh can act as one object, or it’s subpixels can be individually controlled to create a really unique movement of light across the surface of the facade.
In the crystal mesh project realities:united once again shy away from jumping on the LED bandwagon like (most of) the rest of the world, and stick with good old fluorescent lamps. The facade covers a total area of 5180m2 of which 2550m2 are equipped as a media installation. The installation is made up of 6069 individually controllable 36W fluorescent bulbs. Whilst that’s a hefty 234kW power consumption (theoretical maximum with all lamps on), in normal operation the actual brightness for grey scale images is limited by software to approx. 70% brightness resulting in a max. power consumption of 127kW. The estimated power consumption in typical operation mode is approx. 85kW equaling 0.03kW/m2 (29 Watts/m2).

Duchamp: regular arts with irregular things

Duchamp, New York 1913

Duchamp, NewYork 1917

The ready-made, therefore, is a common article of daily use (a hanger and a bottle rack, a urinal, etc.). which becomes a work of art by the artist and once taken place as it is in a different situation from that of use, which would have its own (in this case a museum or art gallery). The added value of the artist is the operation of choice, or even random object identification, capture and isolation of the object.

Irregular place of the object,but same purpose



Proper use of an everyday object such as clothes line becomes irregular when wearing it in different context.

Irregular shape-regular function

Confusing traffic-light



This traffic light should regulate the traffic but creates more confusion because there are too many lights and people are not able to figure out what to do. It's irreuglar!

Hamlet

« To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep…
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. »

(Hamlet, act three, scene one)


It is one of the most famous phrases of the literature of all time, and was the subject of several studies and different interpretations. The existential questions of life (being) or die (not be) is at the root of Hamlet's indecision to act to prevent.

Blog presentation

Hello everyone,
this blog was created to understand how to change the meaning of the terms regular and irregular in relation to different cultures. We have sought in various fields of study, from art to food, exploring the philosophy and everyday objects.
Through pictures, videos and texts we have tried to show how the boundary between these two concepts. We want to explain how to first approach the two concepts seem totally opposite but in reality are very close, depending on your point of view of people and the culture they grew up.
Some of the posts are that they want to provoke thought and invite people to accept diversity.

Thanks to all

Regular ticket in irregular shape



It’s a New England thing. French artist Hubert de Lartigue, on the other hand, uses his subway time to imagine X-Wings.

X-Wings from paper metro tickets, to be precise. de Lartique assembles them using nothing but a scalpel and a folding tool – no glue – and they’re pretty sharp.
