April fools

To begin the month, we had the workshop with Kris Vleeschouwer. The week was based around involving interactivity within our own work and we were given several presentations by various other artists invited by Kris. I had meetings with Beate Engel and Navid Tschopp to discuss my project and the theme of interactivity, and played with the idea of painting over old vinyl discs to make them unrecognisable and place them on a wine bottle stand, so that it made an alternate way to select music without knowing what it is you’ll be playing, whilst involving the relationship between music and alcohol with the wine stand. At the end of the week we were to present our ideas, but not before this delicious picnic we had outside on the terrace at school!


In other news, the photos that my housemate Jasmine took for International Women’s Day were displayed in Bolivia! Here they are being put up. My portrait is top left.

darkroom photography

For the Indesign course, we requested if we could be shown how to use the darkroom studio in Movimax, so that any time we could just book it and use it. Since buying the polaroid camera, and re-discovering my digital Sony one, i’m trying to involve photography in my pieces more, as so far I’ve been using images that I’ve found instead of ones i’ve taken myself. My plan is to make a pinhole camera, purchase some photo paper, and see what comes out. It's been a few years since I tried this, the last time being at college before I went to university... I did some experimenting with the images in our introduction session



It’s always nice to rediscover an old skill! I hope to make use of the photography facilities when i return to coventry
