ID3 Final Show: Sync

Went to the Interactive Design final year show last week, it was really amazing! They had an interactive turntable piece were you moved small circle shaped markers to change how a music piece sounded, as well as everyones work on an interactive website and another piece called 'Circuit Breakers'. It was a really great night and definately something to attempt to match next year!

And here's a small video of the making of filmed by Jamie Gregson:

Decode 1

Went to London yesterday along with Louise to see the Decode exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum (http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/decode/) It was a really great day and exhibition was awesome, it showcased works from interactive designers across the globe. There was an awful lot of inspiration to gather from it and it really put my mind at ease that what I'm doing has some worth in it. There was a lot of work involving processing too so really helpful for my self initiated brief.

I'll post some photos in a few days when we develop the films (we forgot cameras so had to buy some disposables, hopefully they'll turn out!)

For now here are a few photos of the programme we got, which is lovelly:




And an @ sign I bought from the V and A shop. Thinking I may turn @ into my design identity for when I leave uni.



More soon!

Star City

Went to the Nottingham Contemporary for the first time with some friends yesterday to see an exhibition called star city, which was about the future under communism. It took some influences from the Cold War so it was kind of helpful for my title sequence too. There was some great work there including a ginormous astronaut that you could walk inside of.



Can't see these too well on this photo, but I really liked the prints of the jewels in the background. They had photographs to represent communism with lines over the top to create jewels. Simple but nice. Also that big structure there was made from cardboard tubes and you could sit on it, bit creaky mind!

Probably have more photos soon as well from one of my friends cameras [=
