HAL 9000 eye

Not Big Enough For Wide Screen Versions Dave.........

I used your image as preview for this text, hope that's okay

Total Control
"Totalitarianism is latent in technology. It was not merely Hitler or Mussolini who were totalitarian, or the Pharaohs as far as I am concerned. Totalitarianism is already present in the technical object."
- Paul Virilio
...the contrast between the smooth hyperfunctional beauty of virtual reality and the grim facts of human lack and dysfunction grows ever larger; the ghosts of cruelties past and present haunt us; brutal realities lie in wait for those seduced by virtual paradises; sobering up is inescapable, ugliness cannot be avoided; our human weaknesses, our crudeness, our death - all the fail, all the negativity, all the shit is doomed to become fatally visible as a totalitarian drive to microscopic miniaturization and tightly controlled, superhuman purified perfection takes hold of the globe, becoming the trend of an age. With buzzwords like "sms", "app", "tweet", "wifi", "RAM", "update", "kilobyte" ("kb"), "lag" and "nanosecond" it has become overtly clear that things have to mov  

Hello... Could I use your beautiful image in my new blog: [link] ? For free, with your credits and link to this page or to the page you prefer. I would use your image as the main image of a post regarding VOCAL CONTROL (not SPACE ODISSEY )

I'll wait for your answer for eventually deleting (assistenza-tecnica@comunicazione-design.com), many thank. Fabio Schiano - Comunicazione & Design - Italy

Looks very cool !

Borrowed this to use as an Avatar on F/book, hope you don't mind. Put a note saying that the picture was done by you and a link back to this page. Hope that's OK.

It stares into your soul....

Nice work! I love the film and character!

Hello, Dave. It is good to see you again.

I used part of this in my dektop pic, hope you don't mind. At least I think it was this.

awesome!!!! ^_^
i made a pic somewhat like this, only i used my eye and put the hal 9000 as my eye o.O lol it looked really cool.
maybe i'll upload ^-^
but at any rate, great job!! its way awesome and the detail is great!!

When I look at it in preview mode, it generates some sort of optical illusion that it's buldging out. It's hard to describe. Not that I'm saying it's bad. I just think it's cool.
Good job, though. You got the textures so perferct.

sweet. great movie xD

the brushed metal looks superb! any updates with the carbon fiber? it's the best HAL i've seen yet!

H+1=I
A+1=B
L+1=M
great work

looks like the computer in the ship on futurama that bender falls in love with

I believe this is an exact duplication of the Hal9000 computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. No the less it is a good representation

That is really simple yet really cool, great jorb!

nifty one
looks like the computer from Dexter's Laboratory (for those of you who know what that is)...mmm...what was it....dexbot 3000 or somethin

i like

I was thinking about designing this, then saw that you already did it. Very nice work !

not bad
