Finally - i've logged back in!

It been ages since my last post, as i've had recurring difficulty logging back into my blog on different networks : (

I have been busy researching for the individual Presentations we held on 1st November. My presentation ended up being rather too long with at least six different experiements that I wanted to undertake using differing technologies.

Experiment #1: Composite Portraits
Experiment #2:Warping Propaganda posters
Experiment #3: Still life colour change
Experiment #4: Antartic Data Jam download PLUS Live Object Theatre projections
Experiment #5: Web Conf Collective visual animation

SC advised to try to encapsulate all of these ideas into one. I'm not sure what i think about this prospect. I can see the logic. However, I envisaged each being of a particular aesthetic and i'm not sure that an amalgamation of all of these technologies would be a direction that i would like to go in. Perhaps that's my limitation. Nonetheless, I will think more indepth about the possibilities and draft something for next weeks tutorials.

I REALLY would like to be able to buy time until after i see the POLAR Arts Catalyst Symposium/ The Propaganda WAR poster exhibition at the Imperial War Museum and the TATE's The World as a Stage exhibition. ALL are on over November 07.

Two Artists at both events that work \on Climate change and art: Marko Peljhan and Simon Faithfull

All your ideas are do-able. But it's usually the case that you already know (deep, deep down!) which one you want to do most, or which is strongest, or which one leads you in the direction of practice you wish to undertake.
I agree an amalgamation probably isnt the answer as you see them as different ideas with their own aesthetics.
Keep all your ideas stored as they may come in handy later. Which ever you choose will be the right choice.

Thanks for your advice...I think deep deep down i want to try to amalgamate the techniques i'm using on my puppetry performance course with the more experimental elements being encouraged by Hybrid practices. You're quite right that i can save the other elements/ideas for later on in the course. Typical me - firing off in all directions ;) Cheers for your thoughtful advice :)
