HEXABITIONISM

First year exhibition
My freind Connel linked me to a lecture on TED by a software developer called Blaise Aguera y Arcas .Its well worth a look at, hes developed a program that works with images in a lateral way, allowing you to view multiple images at once.The program works on the principle that you can only have a certain amount of on scren at any one time.Allowing you to move through a seemlessly through images wich are linked through meta-data.What it also allows you to do is move around enviroments spacially,via David Hockney style joiners.Giving a 3D experience to 2D platform.What I found particularly interesting about Arcas's talk was the way he demonstrated moving through images into othr ones linked to it.At one point he moved from a photograph uploaded from a phone with a poster of Notredam cathedral in the back ground , to one from a different user taken on a digital camera of the actual building self.Then he preceded to move around the building spacially with the collection of different photos.The idea that you can move through different images in different from different times really struck me.I wanted to play with the idea abit before i started anything concrete.These are my reults... http://photosynth.net/search.aspx?q=defectiveobjective

the basic idea: i wanted to be able to move through at least 3 different spaces in time, while the objects in the photographs could still syncronize together.After maticulously photographing my room, i chose one image of window to use.I then transfered this image to acetate, then put it on a projector in the studio.Then maticulously took loads of photos of the projector switched on; then tranfered that to acetate.I then projected the image of the projector projecting from the second step and again photographed that.After about 5 hours waiting for all the images to be uploaded to the photosynth website it turned out it was always '70% synthy' which means it doesn't work aswell as I'd hoped as 3d platform.I later learnt that its because many of the things i photographed lacked texture and thats what the program needs to glue different images together.Wich makes sense its not magic.The things i was taking pictures of; the wall and the window because of there flat surfaces stopped my project from working completely.Still i'm quiete happy with the results just because its spared me on for a new idea.


SUMMARY: projected a photo of my room, took a photo of the projector,and then projected that image

the new idea: i now want to get more people involved.This program has great potential for interactive sculpture in as such it content can be coupled together from different users and made into enviroments.What i would like to do is collaborate on an instalation that only exists complete in virtual form.Parts of it would exist in reality made by different people, in different places and as a given in different times.I'm still toying round with ideas on how this is going to be acheivable and Iam looking for more imput, on how these imags can be glued together.Input of any kind would be a banging.

SCRATTIN MY HEAD

These are some recent drawings from the bunker, experimenting with scale, there alot bigger than i'd usually draw faces.


klll

1-5 are felt tip and ink.This bottom one is a photo of the television from home at my parents house.Kind of looks like a face if you beleive if your that way inclined .Ive been thinking about a lecture we had a few fridays back alot. A man called John Hiyatt told a story of how he saw a UFO over the Grane Road, which is a bout five minuetes.Amongst other crazy stuff he was talking about natural forms in everything been related.Hes got an exhibition on at the link gallery hes a modern mystic with ideas that would make William James piddle his pants his audio work is very interesting too http://www.myspace.com/thethreejohns

Academic Anum

This year has past to quickly, just as I’ve started to get into been at university the end of term is looming. I don’t feel as though I took as good of an advantage I could of this year, I made some very stupid mistakes. The most valuable thing I’ve learnt is just to come in more instead of just when it’s strictly necessary. The course runs as much unofficially as it does officially. It took me while to realise that interactive arts was more about been a functioning community of artists, as much as it was a course. There is always something going on or been planned outside of university.

My main regret is that I didn’t get involved with the link gallery next term Ryan has said I can help with witch I’m looking forward to. Been involved with the Abandon Normal Devices festival has put me in touch with organizer which might come in handy this summer if we get the gallery space in Blackburn again for a few weeks. Jacks coming back up with people from his course and were we plan to do a joint exhibition that should hopefully be reciprocated down in London. It’s something to do with his manifesto that he’s compiling together. I’m hoping Europe is going to be inspiring I haven’t been abroad since I was ten and views on the world have change quiet a bit since then. I’m hoping its going to be fruitful I’m getting some super eight film for my camera, and borrowing a dictaphone.I want to try and record as much as possible, and I should be able to borrow someone’s laptop to blog it when out there too. I want to come back to university with a decent body of work that I’m proud of.

I've recently aquired a thirst for finding photos and interesting bits of card on the floor, i think its a posture problem thats becoming quiete beneficial.

Compositions compiled and found nothing profound.


BARF

POSI WINS NEGI EVERYTIME

After most negi tutorial ever this appeared on my facebook, i am capable of good things.Its a award i got for my work last year at college and now the colledge are using me as an exemplary student to advertise the course.I've been propper photo-shopped weres are my red cheeks.A period of rest is over and i'm back on the sunshine horse.

During his time at the College, Daniel got involved with various extra-curricular activities and was one of the key students who founded, curated and ran, ‘A Lovely Art Gallery’ at Blackburn’s Pavilions. This project was a huge success and brought culture to the local area.

Dan, who is also the drummer in Manchester group, Brown Orange Blue Band, said: “My classmate and I independently approached Blackburn Council to see what help was available for creating an art exhibition for the people of Blackburn by the people of Blackburn.”http://www.blackburn.ac.uk/student_celebrates_outstanding_achievement_award.html

Also check out the gallery myspace, http://www.myspace.com/alovelymyspace  the funny person who hacked it  managed to do it again, puck you! you negi bastard!We did some amazing things for Blackburn. Was there really any need, we worked pretty much full time maintaining it, somedays 9am till past midnight,  whilst doing our college courses aswell.You won't beat me down that even includes Jackal and  Soudal (whos got some mint photos going up in Blackpool tower) http://bitingatyourheels.tumblr.com/

THRIVING PERMANCENCE OF SOUND

The third year talk was dead insightful, exhibitions at Moonfish on 25th Feb, projections at Sand Bar
a 24 hour sonic improv performance at islington mill on 24th April see
//mill24blogspot.com
loads of other artists exhibiting too.He talked a great deal about long sound pieces that are continual like this sonic sculpture in Kent.The hole is a 7 meter deep, 2.4 meter diameter shaft, constructed from concrete rings. The bottom 2 meters are waterproofed to allow a pool to form.The sculpture relise heavily on water flow, so there is a pond on the surface that acts as a reservoir.The water flows through a grates and into the hole and the sound is amplified by a steel trumpet.'If you look carefully through the slits in the cover in some places you can see a wire mesh. Below the mesh are trays of gravel that break up the flow and cause drips to form in an unpredictable manner.If you sprinkle water from a bottle onto these areas you’ll hear an initial flurry of sound followed by a period of more measured and melodic music.
Its in Kingswood near Challock which is ten minutes away from my Aunty Fi's house.I'm gonna visit in Summer.
SCORE FOR HOLE IN THE GROUND LINK






























The idea of the permanent sound reminds me of a blog i stumbled up on ages ago on 'Stone Tape Theory on Language Log by Benjamin Zimmer.Something that largely been disproved by the scientific community, its origins lay in Charles Babbage's Ninth Bridgewater Treatise written in 1832 and his theories into the memory of molecules around us, giving permanence to every sound.It is also very strangely linked to 'video killed the radio star' by The Buggles the first video ever shown on MTV and also been credited as a explanation for ghostly aparitions.
