First Model In!!
The first model was hung this morning... And two model bases created and one screwed on. This is the best snap shot I have showing the overall view. Progress was slow today as we only had a few of us working on the exhibit, but it is still coming together well.
Thank you to Miho, Selina, Aseel and Kanto for helping out...

We had a great day putting 90% of the cups in place, and we're easily on schedule to get the exhibition done by Sunday night... THANK YOU TO MAceij, Miho, Aseel, Kevin, Sandra, Francesca and Kanto. At one point we had all eight of us working at the same time - made our neighbour, Oliver feel v jealous!!

Miho and cups
Miho doing a STELLA job in a sea of cups. She's taking a little rest here but the mass of cups on the left will be Franscesca's model stand and the cups to the right, her own - both put together in the last two days.
Exhibition construction is still in it's infancy and won't fully get to speed until we get on site - Tuesday night. But we're making a good start..........
Monia has also been slaving away at 1000's of images whcih will be stuck to the cup lids on glossy paper. Should look really good.

LIGHT TEST FOR ASEEL
i was surfing the net when I came across a VERY simple way of generating cautics through glass in 3Dmax. Its super simple, quick, and precise. Could be very useful for ASEEL. Once you have the 3D models done you can render out a sequence in 5 minutes. This one took me only 3 minutes to render.

Sensitile - The smart tile.
SensiTile technology allows various materials to react to changes in light intensity and color. Using the same principle that makes fiber optics possible, the embedded light-conducting matrix in a SensiTile material either reconfigures the shadows that fall on it or redirects and scatters any oncoming light. In an environment with ambient light, any movement around the material that casts shadows will produce a set of “ripples” on the material’s surface; while in darker environments, any beam of light falling on a SensiTile is redirected to emerge from another part of its surface. SensiTile can be combined with a range of materials, including concrete, polymer, and resin, to be incorporated into flooring, walls, facades, countertops, and partitions. Last year, in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, SensiTile won the “Boulevard der Stars” competition in Berlin to develop a series of plaques honoring German film stars.

V&A late night tonight
I'm going to this tonight. Care to join me? It's free, it's in a gallery, it's dijji, it's moving.
Trans_vision
24 February
Onedotzero Presents forms part of the Contemporary Programme's ongoing remit of linking contemporary practice to the V&A's historical collections through gallery based installations. Onedotzero are moving image and digital media pioneers who will work with the V&A to invite artists to respond to the Museum's galleries and collections using digital, audio and moving image media. The Friday Late will present a range of new and existing work to a general audience, and build upon the V&A's developing relationships with moving image, digital media and interaction designers and artists, initiated through exhibitions like Shhh…Sounds in Space (supported by Arts Council England, London in 2004) and Touch Me in 2005.
This Friday Late has two key objectives. The first is to promote current creative practice in a multidisciplinary and multicultural way. New work will be shown from a wide range of practitioners using digital media who are all known for pushing the boundaries of the genres in which they work and offering a true diversity of appeal. The Friday Late will also place digital art and design within a broad art and design narrative, suggesting links with the V&A's existing collections, rather than as a discrete art form. The second objective is to encourage new ways for the visitor to relate to digital media and the V&A's collections. This will allow the visitor to become aware of the range of stories that objects and spaces can tell, and enable them to realise that they can create their own responses to the objects around them.

While not exactly a 100% effective - it did contribute to interesting developments within many of the students' projects - allowing deliberate decision making to become an integral part of the design process at times when students are often happy to let the design PROCESS to become the determining factor for the direction of their projects and portfolio.

Theo Jansen
Strandbeest
Theo Jansen studied Technical Science in Delft, Holland, but became a
painter. Since 1990 he has been occupied with making new forms of life.
Plastic yellow tubes, rather than seeds or pollen, are used as the basic
material of this new nature. He makes skeletons that are able to walk on the
wind so they don't have to eat. Over time they become better and better at
surviving circumstances such as storms and water. Eventually he wants to put
these animals out in herds on the beaches so they will live their own lives.
Theo Jansen has been a columnist of the Volkskrant (national Dutch
Newspaper) for 19 years. Articles about his work have appeared in New
Scientist, Wired and Popular Science. His exhibition in the Kunsthal in
Rotterdam (2002) drew 14 000 visitors. He has written three books about
technical art and evolution. Several television performances prompted
thousands of people to go to the beach to see him work.

Frame
This month's issue of Frame has quite a few interesting projects in it you should all look at. One article in particular references the work of Es Devlin - a set designer in London who uses lighting effects and projections as set designs. p 74-81. Also briefly profiled are a set of lights by Bosung Kim who graduated last year from the RCA. I saw both of the lights at the end of year show - one of them is really very beautiful. With a simple pulley action the light collapses together and then turns itself inside-out to transfrom from downlight to uplight. p. 155. Check out p 56 - light installation by korban / flaubert.

Light Tape...
The tape has landed... Not in time for our meeting yesterday morning, but in time for a weekend of exploration into this stuff. And let me say now it is truly amazing. Click on my page to discover more.
PLEASE NOTE: There was quite a bit of interest in the technology when I showed it yesterday and it would be cool if a few of us used it, but please DO NOT approach the company 'Elumin8', based in Dorset, UK as if more than one student contacted them there would be less of a chance of going as far with them (sponsorship etc). A concerted approach would be better! If you haven't got a contact of your own let me know as we can combine forces and present them with multiple individual projects to fund/sponsor, whatever.

Just a quick note to let you know you should all download FIREFOX. Firstly, (a slightly frivolous reason) the inter3 website looks better in firefox than in explorer (the menu is a bit weird in explorer). Second, it's just a much better and faster web browser. So go to Firefox and download it - you can also import your bookmarks from explorer.

Super Patata Light
I mentioned this light with regards Francesca's programme - it is by Hector Serrano and formed from latex, salt and a compact fluorescent bulb.
He said of this light "I wanted to let the user control the intensity of the light just by touching it. As you squeeze the light, the bulb moves around in the salt, and gets brighter as it gets closer to the surface. That's what the product allows you to do - play with light."

British Museum Article
I had an email from Geoff Pickup, the guy I interviewed at the British Museum. He mentioned posting a relevant article on artificial lighting in galleries. Maybe of interest. I'll leave it in the unit space when I get my hands on it.
I'm still in the process of uploading the voice of the interview onto the web...
P.S. Please have a look at my page! would be interested for comments...

unit trip
Democratically I think I got enough responses to proceed this instance. I will tell my dad to take it serious that we are up for it. It will definately be held in English which saves me and Miho from a disaster. He mentioned that he could probably ask a well known lighing consultant to come to the workshop.
Here is this guy's website. Have a look. interesting work.

unit trip
hi everybody. I told my dad about the unit trip to Tokyo which made him quite excited. He was wondering if he could organise a workshop with us and other university students plus invited lighting designers from Japan for a day or so. The content is not specified yet but it will be about aesthetics of lighting design. What do you people think about this?

Science and light ...
This is a rather technical site but has interesting information on using your camera as a light meter in a museum setting (with a discussion on the difference between reflected light and light falling on an object), and the effects of light on museum objects (of interest to Kevin?).

Olafur Eliasson
Bought this Olafur Eliasson book at the Serpentine Gallery on Saturday - I'll be putting it on the Inter 3 shelf in the library tomorrow. Will post the full reading list here tomorrow and the rest of the books should be on the shelf very soon - in the meantime, make sure to check this one out - has some great projects and interesting texts.

Space-Time
Maciej, I've had a look at the space-time video and agree it is a catchy explaination to the very basics of the theory Einstein formulated 100yrs ago. To superimpose your architectural ideas, sounds great and intriguing especially as physics is a science - proving a hypothesis, and architecture more of an art - proving an individual's design! Similar in a sense to Einstein trying to unify gravity and electromagnetism, something which is still trying to be unified. Physics holds some beautifully simple models and to use physics in a good way might take a little more reading(!) I still have all my old physics books and would be happy if you need a little help - one very good book which is more of a novel and is a must read to anyone interested is 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking. I'll bring it in on Tuesday...

NOVA space time link
hi guys, i just thought, watching it again myself, that it might be usefull if you all watched what i tried to show during the last tutorial. its a film on the fabric of space/time. basically what I would like to do is make scientific priniciples on space and the fabric of space/time my own by somhow superimposing whatever i would like to do architecutrally with the variables of the sciences in this field. I dont know, maybe this little flick will help you to understand a bit more...even if you dont, the guy..Brian Greene, is a great narrator (a real physisit) and makes the subject quite interesting. please help me to continue in this direction.....it interests me... Please help!
its the bit of film that has the title of 'a new picture of gravity'

Lighting Books
Hi guys,
I just wanted to tell you all that i checked out some books about lighting and i left them in the unit space. i left two behind the Orange chair on the table as you walk in. Incase you dont know the Unit Door Code,e-mail Natasha and she'll probibly send it out. Anyway, the books are really quite interesting, and I took one home with me that deals specifically with Gallery and museum lighting. Good stuff there too. If anyone wants to get a gander just let me know.
ALL THE BEST..see you guys Friday

H & de M's Walker Art Center
Here's a link to the Herzog and deMeuron Walker Art Center - which i mentioned briefly yesterday in relation to the way light is relfected / refracted across the surface. The skin is made of a expanded aluminium mesh panels that have been folded and stamped.
Also, some of you should visit the Gagosian Gallery before Friday. The architects are Caruso St John (who lectured at the AA last night) and will be part of the Round Table discussion this evening. It's on Britannia Streen in King's Cross.
