Changes

Dear all,

I cannot be in school on friday because of the death of my grandmother.
Today (wednesday) I can also not be there because we have to prepare some stuff for the cremation.
I had a very hard time setting my mind to these frustrating vcr's (who though that would be a good idea! ;) ) so I've decided to drop that project all together. Tomorrow I'll be in class to help everyone out as much as I can. Hope we can make it into a nice presentation tomorrow.

peace out.

upstairs/downstairs

Hi hee,

So, there's no more 'upstairs/downstairs'. It didn't work out with the super long cable.
Now we have UPSTAIRS/UPSTAIRS!

There will be a monitor in class and one at the stairs. We put a cookingalarm and when it goes off... We all together do an action. Like it goes off and we all together stand in a corner!

Andy says: love you

If there is any need of transport . And need a car let me know (Best by mail or let me know in class) .

I will be in at Academy/class(somewhere between 12:30 and 14:30) on Monday afternoon and Tuesday from 11:30- 15:00.



And how is the drawing? Is there something going on there.... Now (Friday) seemed that it is going to be a sort of missed opportunity .

Like to see some attempts to give it a go one way or another.

A proposal for a definit drawing? Used as print. Drawing as a logo? What to do with the material we have /ritual,destruction,presentation,wallpaper,gift etc...Can bad drawings be useful?

It's not by making a nice exhibition ,a gallery, it's also about content and see how things can function and work as a whole ....a challenge.. so the things that we talked about on Friday how is that working out in your minds. Let's see/hear some ideas on monday.

...

I just figured out a way to take pictures with a Cannon Slr camera while directly saving them in one file on my computer + having a delayed diashow of it that grows automatically with every new picture that is taken.
Now I only need to build a remote control for the camera that will be connected to the revolving door + a flash for the camera and the whole system works!
The question now is: should the pictures as well be printed? If yes the only affordable way is a laserprinter. If we print the pictures people have to come back to pick them up if they want to have it, otherwise they just have to come back if they want to see their picture on a screen.

See you monday!

tapeloop

Today with Sarah we managed to make the external long audiotape loop on a wall(and play with it). As the idea is to have this loop made out of the audio of people's video, we would like to have all the extracted tracks as soon as possible. If somebody can't extract the audio, just upload the video somewhere and pass the link, or bring it on monday on a usb stick. At the moment we were thinking that would be nice to have this big loop going around the television screens. The original audio of each video would be hearable with the earphones, while the whole installation is gonna be a work in itself, with 3 different videos connected by a single audio(visual) loop - connected to the speakers. Marianne's video is gonna be apart, as it is already part of an installation(but we want her audio too). Is it ok?
(here a really explanatory sketch of one idea, maybe perhaps)

CAMERA DOWNSTAIRS UPSTAIRS

Ola DOTJES,

Something about the project with the video screen upstairs/downstairs...
We, Dovile, Andy, Sven, Sophie, Tchieu and Suzan, discussed the next:

If we put the monitor and a camera downstairs and give it a title like 'mirror', that it shows people it really is a work. So they would walk up to it for serious!
And if they walk up, we will react on it upstairs with repeating their movements and face expressions. We also thought it would be nice to put something on that the person downstairs is wearing. Like glasses, a hat, same color of the t-shirt... So it really works like a mirror.

An interactive way to also attract people to our fantastic loop room!

So, ya, let us know...

repeating appearing cards

Was thinking of doing (somethinglike) this; as a performance, or make a movie out of it
