Open/Close

We made an arduino circuit where in order to watch the film everyone has to keep their mouth closed to complete the circuit. If you open your mouth while the film is playing it will pause. 

Another circuit is those who fall asleep during watching films. When your eyelashes touch is completes the circuit and an alarm is set off to wake up the sleepy person.

We made a series of ‘fake food’ using other everyday food items. Oreos with mayonnaise and flour inside, bread with rye bread mixed with fish rice seasoning, and cheese with custard powder and flour. 

In attempt to stop flatmates we don’t know from stealing our food without confronting them.

13th January-16th January

We had to make a stop-frame animation from the word Frottement meaning friction, and the animation had to visually describe the word. We were only allowed to use the letter from the word, and we could only photocopy the sheet with the word on to create it.

Some redscale 120 film photos of Skipton and Liverpool from an old Russian box camera I got a few weeks ago!

Photos taken on my Fujifilm instax mini 8 over the summer! The camera itself is pretty primitive but the novelty of the polaroid-style images outweigh the camera's abilities!

Considering I only have 1mbps broadband in this new house I managed to upload quite a lot which is a shock...

Photographer I admire- Jared Leto.

I know this figure isn't particularly famous for his photography but a few years back he went to Haiti and produced a photobook to help raise money to help restore the country after the earthquake they had. He has personal connections with Haiti as he used to live there as a child, so the photobook is interesting as it shows when he went back to where he used to live and how derelict it now is.

The photo above is one of my favourites, as throughout the book, he reiterates how happy the people of Haiti are despite the disaster that had happened, and that they had a really profound fighting spirit. I feel that this photo captures that, and that's why I chose it against the others.

Trip to Colours May Vary

Also on Monday I went to Leeds City Centre and went to the Tetley Brewery which is a bit like the Baltic in Newcastle where its an old industrial working building that's been turned into a cafe and an art gallery. Unfortunately they were between installations when I went but I had a good time learning all about the brewery and the branding of Tetley. They had a lot of posters on the wall illustrating the companies Corporal Branding/Imaging which I always enjoy looking at. 

As I didn't get to Magma, somebody suggested a shop in Leeds that was similar. It's called Colours May Vary and it's part of the Leeds College of Art and next door is a cafe and an art gallery. The shop is quite small but they had a lot of good books in there. It sells mainly Graphic art and prints, but there's also textiles and architecture things too. I found a Charley Harper book in the bargain corner and fell in love with it. It's basically a book of all his well known/received publishings over the years. It's very colourful and illustrative which is what I look for when I'm searching for art-type books.
